Abstract
The weakening of chicken egg vitelline membrane (CEVM) is one of the most important factors influencing egg quality during high-temperature storage. Therefore, a comparative N-glycoproteomic analysis of CEVM after 10 days of storage at 30 °C was performed to explore the roles of protein N-glycosylation in membrane deterioration. In total, 399 N-glycosites corresponding to 198 proteins were identified, of which 46 N-glycosites from 30 proteins were significantly altered. Gene ontology analysis revealed that these differentially N-glycosylated proteins (DGPs) were involved in antibacterial activity, glycosaminoglycan binding, lipid binding, and aminopeptidase activity. Removal of the N-glycans in Mucin-5B may result in a loss of CEVM's mechanical properties. The N-glycosites enriched in the apolipoprotein B β2 domain in CEVM were significantly changed, which may contribute to lipid composition modifications during storage. Moreover, N-glycosites in several metalloproteases were located within the functional domain or active site region, indicating that the decreased N-glycosylation levels may affect their structural stability, specific substrate binding, or enzyme activity. These findings provide novel insights into the roles of protein N-glycosylation during membrane weakening.
