Yang X, Li Q, Wang Y, Wang J, Hu J, Ji Z, Chao T. Research Progress on Genomic Regions and Candidate Genes Related to Milk Composition Traits of Dairy Goats Based on Functional Genomics: A Narrative Review. Genes (Basel) 2024; 15:1341. [PMID: 39457465 PMCID: PMC11507656 DOI: 10.3390/genes15101341] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2024] [Revised: 10/17/2024] [Accepted: 10/18/2024] [Indexed: 10/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Goat milk has gained global attention for its unique nutritional properties and potential health benefits. Advancements in functional genomic technologies have significantly progressed genetic research on milk composition traits in dairy goats. RESULTS This review summarizes various research methodologies applied in this field. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified genomic regions associated with major milk components, with the diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) gene and casein gene cluster consistently linked to milk composition traits. Transcriptomics has revealed gene expression patterns in mammary tissue across lactation stages, while the role of non-coding RNAs (such as miRNAs and circRNAs) in regulating milk composition has been confirmed. Proteomic and metabolomic studies have not only helped us gain a more comprehensive understanding of goat milk composition characteristics but have also provided crucial support for the functional validation of genes related to milk components. The integration of multi-omics data has emerged as an effective strategy for elucidating complex regulatory networks from a systems biology perspective. CONCLUSIONS Despite progress, challenges remain, including refining reference genomes, collecting large-scale phenotypic data, and conducting functional validations. Future research should focus on improving reference genomes, expanding study populations, investigating functional milk components, exploring epigenetic regulation and non-coding RNAs, and studying microbiome-host genome interactions. These efforts will inform more precise genomic and marker-assisted selection strategies, advancing genetic improvements in milk composition traits in dairy goats.

[PMID: 38370298 PMCID: PMC10869750 DOI: 10.1016/j.fochx.2024.101179] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2023] [Revised: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 02/20/2024] Open
Abstract
The development of binary protein systems featuring superior nutritional properties and applied range is an interesting and challenging task in the food industry. In this study, the tilapia-soybean protein co-precipitates (TSPCs) with different mass ratios of tilapia meat and soybean meal were constructed. Results of physicochemical properties showed that the highest solubility and thermal stability values of TSPCs were 81.90 % and 90.30 °C, respectively. TSPCs have the full complement of amino acids and enhanced nutritional quality compared to tilapia protein isolate (TPI) and soybean protein isolate (SPI). TSPC2:1 and TSPC1:1 contained the highest levels of tryptophan, aspartic acid, glycine, histidine, and arginine relative to TPI and SPI. The in vitro protein digestibility and protein digestibility corrected amino acid scores of TSPCs were also higher than that of SPI. SDS-PAGE revealed that TSPCs contained protein subunits from TPI and SPI. Moreover, the lysine-to-arginine ratio and β subunit were greatly correlated with protein digestibility with correlation coefficients of -0.962 (P < 0.01) and -0.971 (P < 0.01), respectively. Compared to SPI, TSPCs displayed a lower lysine-to-arginine ratio and β-conglycinin content, which improved its digestibility. Proteomic analysis indicated that TSPC1:1 had 989 unique proteins, which gives TSPCs enhanced biological properties compared to TPI and SPI, allowing them to participate in a broad range of biochemical metabolic and signal transduction pathways. The study would advance the utilization of mixed proteins toward exceptional food industry applications.

Identification of Potential Bioactive Peptides in Sheep Milk Kefir through Peptidomic Analysis at Different Fermentation Times. Foods 2023; 12:2974. [PMID: 37569243 PMCID: PMC10418486 DOI: 10.3390/foods12152974] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2023] [Revised: 07/26/2023] [Accepted: 08/04/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Sheep farming is an important socioeconomic activity in most Mediterranean countries, particularly Spain, where it contributes added value to rural areas. Sheep milk is used in Spain mainly for making cheese, but it can be used also for making other dairy products, such as the lactic-alcoholic fermentation product known as kefir. Dairy products have health benefits because, among other reasons, they contain molecules with biological activity. In this work, we performed a proteomics strategy to identify the peptidome, i.e., the set of peptides contained in sheep milk kefir fermented for four different periods of time, aiming to understand changes in the pattern of digestion of milk proteins, as well as to identify potential bioactive peptides. In total, we identified 1942 peptides coming from 11 different proteins, and found that the unique peptides differed qualitatively among samples and their numbers increased along the fermentation time. These changes were supported by the increase in ethanol, lactic acid, and D-galactose concentrations, as well as proteolytic activity, as the fermentation progressed. By searching in databases, we found that 78 of the identified peptides, all belonging to caseins, had potential biological activity. Of these, 62 were not previously found in any milk kefir from other animal species. This is the first peptidomic study of sheep milk kefir comprising time-course comparison.

Abstract
Introduction Human breast milk provides neonates with indispensable nutrition and function. Milk protein is one of the main constituents of breast milk. Human milk profiles can be influenced by many factors. Methods The present study aimed to investigate the difference in casein isolated from mature milk of healthy mothers of Korean and Han ethnic groups in China using data-independent acquisition (DIA) proteomics. Results A total of 535 proteins were identified and quantified in casein fraction samples from both groups. A total of 528 proteins were annotated to 52 Gene Ontology (GO) terms, the majority (94.13%) of which were distributed in the cell and cell parts of the cellular component. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis revealed that 106 proteins were involved in 23 pathways, the greatest (36.79%) in carbohydrate metabolism. There were 39 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs)-10 upregulated and 29 downregulated-between Korean and Han milk. The GO function of blood microparticles and KEGG pathway of Staphylococcus aureus infection for DEPs were the most significantly enriched (p < 0.05). Protein-protein interaction analysis revealed a network with 23 DEPs in 47 interactions, and the fibrinogen alpha chain ranked first as the hub protein. Discussion These data may provide useful technical guidance for the development of specific infant foods for certain populations.
