Characterization and comparison of milk fat globule membrane N-glycoproteomes from human and bovine colostrum and mature milk
2019
Human and bovine milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) proteins have been identified and characterized; however, their glycosylation during lactation remains unclear. We adopted a
glycoproteomicsapproach to profile and compare MFGM N-
glycoproteomesin human and bovine milk during lactation. A total of 843, 718, 614, and 273 N-glycosite peptides corresponding to 465, 423, 334, and 176
glycoproteinswere identified in human
colostrum, human mature milk, bovine
colostrum, and bovine mature milk, respectively. The
biological functionsof these MFGM N-
glycoproteinswere revealed through bioinformatics. Substantial differences were observed between human and bovine milk, and immune-related MFGM N-
glycoproteinsvaried between
colostrumand mature milk from both species. Our results expand current knowledge of MFGM N-
glycoproteomes, and further demonstrate the complexity and
biological functionsof MFGM N-glycosylation. These data can provide references for the application of bovine MFGM N-
glycoproteinsin
infant formulato resemble human milk and in
functional foods.
