The molecular weights of milk-fat-globule-membrane proteins solubilized in sodium dodecyl sulphate were estimated by gradient gel electrophoresis. Standard curves were calibrated from both protein and glycoprotein markers of known molecular weight. Six major proteins were observed with Coomassie Blue staining and six with periodic acid–Schiff staining. The behaviour of the membrane proteins and the marker proteins was compared on several different single strength sodium dodecyl sulphate–polyacrylamide gels between 3 and 12% (w/v). The results were used to calculate the free electrophoretic mobility and retardation coefficient of each protein. Glycoprotein markers had a significantly lower mean free electrophoretic-mobility value than the protein markers. Three of the milk-fat-globule-membrane glycoproteins were shown to be independent of any of the Coomassie Blue-stained bands. On the basis of a comparison of the free electrophoretic-mobility and retardation- coefficient values of markers and unknown proteins the most appropriate standard curve for molecular-weight estimation was chosen.

SummaryChemical analyses, polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing of milk-fat globule membrane proteins (FGMP) obtained from the milk of 2 Murrah buffaloes were done to determine if any change in composition occurred during lactation. Changes in the levels of sialic acid, hexose, hexosamine, N and P were found in the FGMP obtained at different stages of lactation. On the day of parturition, 8 major proteins in FGMP were determined by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis whereas 6 major proteins were obtained in FGMP of middle and late lactation milks. Isoelectric focusing of FGMP showed 8–9, 9–13 and 13–16 proteins from colostrum, middle and late lactation milks, respectively and the isoelectric pH of the proteins varied from 5·25 to 7·80, 5·85 to 8·30 and 5·75 to 8·61 respectively.

A major periodate–Schiff-positive component from milk-fat-globule membrane of human breast milk has been purified by selectively extracting the membrane glycoproteins, followed by lectin affinity chromatography and gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 in the presence of protein-dissociating agents. The purified glycoprotein, termed epithelial membrane glycoprotein (EMGP-70), has an estimated mol.wt. of 70 000 and yields a single band under reducing conditions on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The glycoprotein contains 13.5% carbohydrate by weight, with fucose, mannose, galactose, N-acetylglucosamine and sialic acid 17.2, 17.0, 21.1, 7.9 and 36.6% respectively of the carbohydrate moiety. Aspartic and glutamic acid and serine are the major amino acid residues.

We recently described the tissue distribution of PAS IV (periodic acid/Schiff-positive Band IV), a hydrophobic glycoprotein isolated from bovine milk-fat-globule membrane [Greenwalt & Mather (1985) J. Cell Biol. 100, 397-408]. By using immunofluorescence techniques, PAS IV was detected in mammary epithelial cells, the bronchiolar epithelium of lung, and the capillary endothelium of several tissues, including heart, salivary gland, pancreas, spleen and intestine. In the present paper we describe the specificity of the antibodies used for these studies. Two monoclonal antibodies, E-1 and E-3, were shown by solid-phase immunoassay and immunoaffinity chromatography to be specific for PAS IV (of Mr 76000) in milk-fat-globule membrane and recognize a glycoprotein of slightly higher Mr (85000) in heart. Affinity-purified rabbit antibodies to PAS IV were also shown to recognize components of Mr 76000 and 85000 in fat-globule membrane and heart respectively, by using immunoblotting procedures after sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. Additionally, an immunoreactive protein in lung of Mr 85000 was detected. Despite these differences in molecular size, the fat-globule membrane and heart forms of PAS IV were shown to be very similar by peptide-mapping techniques. The possible significance of the expression of similar forms of PAS IV in both epithelial and capillary endothelial cells is briefly discussed.

SummaryMilk-fat globule membrane (MFGM) proteins were solubilized by treatment with SDS. Four of the major proteins were isolated as SDS complexes using column chromatography. The purity of each isolate was determined by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and sufficient of each protein was obtained for amino acid analysis. The amino acid compositions of the isolated MFGM proteins and a total MFGM protein extract were determined. Differences in amino acid composition were found in particular between the major MFGM glycoprotein and the other 3 membrane proteins. The relationships of the amino acid composition to protein properties and structure are discussed.

Milk lipids are composed of milk fat globules (MFGs) surrounded by the milk fat globule membrane (MFGM). MFGM protects MFGs from coalescence and enzymatic degradation. The milk lipid fraction is a “natural solvent” for macronutrients such as phospholipids, proteins and cholesterol, and micronutrients such as minerals and vitamins. The research focused largely on the polar lipids of MFGM, given their wide bioactive properties. In this review we discussed (i) the composition of MFGM proteome and its variations among species and phases of lactation and (ii) the micronutrient content of human and cow’s milk lipid fraction. The major MFGM proteins are shared among species, but the molecular function and protein expression of MFGM proteins vary among species and phases of lactation. The main minerals in the milk lipid fraction are iron, zinc, copper and calcium, whereas the major vitamins are vitamin A, β-carotene, riboflavin and α-tocopherol. The update and the combination of this knowledge could lead to the exploitation of the MFGM proteome and the milk lipid fraction at nutritional, biological or technological levels. An example is the design of innovative and value-added products, such as MFGM-supplemented infant formulas.
