The aim of study was to scrutinize the physicochemical and protein profile of milk obtained from local Pakistani breeds of milch animals such as Nilli-Ravi buffalo, Sahiwal cow, Kajli sheep, Beetal goat and Brela camel. Physicochemical analysis unveiled maximum number of total solids and protein found in sheep and minimum in camel. Buffalo milk contains the highest level of fat (7.45%) while camel milk contains minimum (1.94%). Ash was found maximum in buffalo (0.81%) and sheep (0.80%) while minimum in cow's milk (0.71%). Casein and whey proteins were separated by subjecting milk to isoelectric pH and then analyzed through sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The results showed heterogeneity among these species. Different fractions including α_S1, α_S2, κ-casein, β-casein and β-lactoglobulen (β-Lg) were identified and quantitatively compared in all milk samples. Additionally, this electrophoretic method after examining the number and strength of different protein bands (α_S1, α_S2, β-CN, α-LAC, BSA, and β-Lg, etc.), was helpful to understand the properties of milk for different processing purposes and could be successfully applied in dairy industry. Results revealed that camel milk was best suitable for producing allergen free milk protein products. Furthermore, based on the variability of milk proteins, it is suggested to clarify the phylogenetic relationships between different cattle breeds and to gather the necessary data to preserve the genetic fund and biodiversity of the local breeds. Thus, the study of milk protein from different breed and species has a wide range of scope in producing diverse protein based dairy products like cheese.

Objective: The objectives of this study were to investigate the thermal gelation properties and molecular forces of actomyosin extracted from two classes of chicken breast meat qualities (normal and pale, soft and exudative [PSE]-like) during heating process to further improve the understanding of the variations of functional properties between normal and PSE-like chicken breast meat. Methods: Actomyosin was extracted from normal and PSE-like chicken breast meat and the gel strength, water-holding capacity (WHC), protein loss, particle size and distribution, dynamic rheology and protein thermal stability were determined, then turbidity, active sulfhydryl group contents, hydrophobicity and molecular forces during thermal-induced gelling formation were comparatively studied. Results: Sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that protein profiles of actomyosin extracted from normal and PSE-like meat were not significantly different (p>0.05). Compared with normal actomyosin, PSE-like actomyosin had lower gel strength, WHC, particle size, less protein content involved in thermal gelation forming (p<0.05), and reduced onset temperature ($T_o$), thermal transition temperature ($T_d$), storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G"). The turbidity, reactive sulfhydryl group of PSE-like actomyosin were higher when heated from $40^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$. Further heating to $80^{\circ}C$ had lower transition from reactive sulfhydryl group into a disulfide bond and surface hydrophobicity. Molecular forces showed that hydrophobic interaction was the main force for heat-induced gel formation while both ionic and hydrogen bonds were different significantly between normal and PSE-like actomyosin (p<0.05). Conclusion: These changes in chemical groups and inter-molecular bonds affected protein-protein interaction and protein-water interaction and contributed to the inferior thermal gelation properties of PSE-like meat.

갈색거저리유충 분말을 4%(w/v)의 기질용액으로 제조한 후, 기질대비 단백질 가수분해 효소(alcalase, flavourzyme, neutrase, bromelain, papain)를 각 1%(w/w) 첨가하여 갈색거저리 유충 단백가수분해물을 제조하였다. 24시간 반응시킨 각 효소별 가수분해물의 특성을 SDS-PAGE로 확인한 결과 alcalase 단백가수분해물의 가수분해가 우수함을 확인하였으며, available amino group의 농도는 flavourzyme, alcalase, neutrase 단백가수분해물 각각 $5,429.35{\mu}g/mL$, $4,781.39{\mu}g/mL$, $3,155.55{\mu}g/mL$의 값을 나타내 상대적으로 높은 가수분해도를 보였고, bromelain($1,800{\mu}g/mL$)과 papain($1,782.61{\mu}g/mL$)의 경우 상당히 낮은 값을 보였다. 가수분해도가 높게 나타난 3종의 단백가수분해물을 한외여과막을 통해 분자량이 3 kDa 이하로 분리한 후 동결 건조하였으며, 이 동결건조물을 이용하여 항산화 실험을 수행하였다. 갈색거저리 유충 가수분해물의 DPPH 라디칼 소거 활성은 alcalase 단백가수분해물의 $RC_{50}$값이 $339.34{\mu}g/mL$로 나타났고, flavourzyme 가수분해물 $379.35{\mu}g/mL$, neutrase 가수분해물 $398.93{\mu}g/mL$로 나타났으며, ABTS 라디칼 소거 활성은 neutrase 단백가수분해물의 $RC_{50}$값이 $29.84{\mu}g/mL$였고, alcalase $36.90{{\mu}g/mL$ 및 flavourzyme $56.03{\mu}g/mL$ 순으로 나타났다.

Mouse thymosin β-4 (TB4) 유전자를 Escherichia coli에서 intein-tag 융합 단백질로 발현시키고 정제하였다. 재조합 TB4-intein 융합 단백질의 분자량을 10% glycine SDS-PAGE로 확인한 결과, 세포내 soluble 분획에서 60 kDa의 단백질을 얻을 수 있었고, 유도발현 최적 조건은 0.1 mM IPTG, 25℃에서 3시간 동안 유도 발현할 때가 최적임을 확인하였다. TB4 만을 얻기 위해서 유도발현된 TB4-intein을 DTT를 이용해 self-cleavage를 일으킨 다음, chitin bead를 이용한 친화성 크로마토그라피로 정제 후 분자량을 확인 한 결과, 5 kDa으로 확인되었으며, 순도는 95%이상 이었다. 정제한 recombinant TB4가 생물학적 기능을 보유하고 있는지 확인을 하기 위하여, TB4를 농도 별(1~1,000 ng/ml)로 하여 HT1080 cell을 이용한 cell migration을 측정한 결과, 모든 농도에서 recombinant TB4가 화학합성한 TB4 보다 약 20% 이상 높은 활성을 보였으며, recombinant TB4 1 ng/ml의 농도에서 cell migration 활성이 가장 높게 나타났다. Recombinant TB4를 마우스 상처 부위에 5일 동안 매일 처리한 결과(최종 처리 농도 0.5 mg/ml), 화학합성 TB4 보다 recombinant TB4의 상처치유 활성이 약 35% 더 높음을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 결과는 recombinant TB4가 화학합성 TB4보다 cell migration과 상처치유에 훨씬 높은 활성을 나타냄을 보여주고 있다.
