Anal Chim Acta 2023; 1270:341401. [PMID: 37311608 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2023.341401] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2022] [Revised: 05/18/2023] [Accepted: 05/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Bacterial proteases are sporadic contributors to milk spoilage, reducing the quality of ultra-heat treated (UHT) milk and other dairy products. Current methods for measuring bacterial protease activity in milk are insensitive and too slow to be used in routine testing in dairy processing plants. We have designed a novel bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET)-based biosensor to measure the activity of proteases secreted by bacteria in milk. The BRET-based biosensor is highly selective for bacterial protease activity compared with other proteases tested, notably including plasmin, which is abundant in milk. It incorporates a novel peptide linker that is selectively cleaved by P. fluorescens AprX proteases. The peptide linker is flanked by green fluorescent protein (GFP2) at the N-terminus and a variant Renilla luciferase (RLuc2) at the C-terminus. Complete cleavage of the linker by bacterial proteases from Pseudomonas fluorescens strain 65, leads to a 95% decrease in the BRET ratio. We applied an azocasein-based calibration method to the AprX biosensor using standard international enzyme activity units. In a 10-min assay, the detection limit for AprX protease activity in buffer was equivalent to 40 pg/mL (≈0.8 pM, 22 μU/mL) and 100 pg/mL (≈2pM, 54 μU/mL) in 50% (v/v) full fat milk. The EC50 values were 1.1 ± 0.3 ng/mL (87 μU/mL) and 6.8 ± 0.2 ng/mL (540 μU/mL), respectively. The biosensor was approximately 800x more sensitive than the established FITC-Casein method in a 2-h assay, the shortest feasible time for the latter method. The protease biosensor is sensitive and fast enough to be used in production settings. It is suitable for measuring bacterial protease activity in raw and processed milk, to inform efforts to mitigate the effects of heat-stable bacterial proteases and maximise the shelf-life of dairy products.

Abstract
The bovine endopeptidase cathepsin D was investigated regarding its temperature-dependent inactivation and ability to form bitter peptides within a spiked model fresh cheese. Cathepsin D was found to be more susceptible than other milk endogenous peptidases to temperature treatments in skim milk. Inactivation kinetics revealed decimal reduction times of 5.6 min to 10 s in a temperature range from 60 to 80°C. High temperature and ultra-high temperature (UHT) treatments from 90 to 140°C completely inactivated cathepsin D within 5 s. A residual cathepsin D activity of around 20% was detected under pasteurization conditions (72°C for 20 s). Therefore, investigations were done to estimate the effect of residual cathepsin D activity on taste in a model fresh cheese. The UHT-treated skim milk was spiked with cathepsin D and acidified with glucono-δ-lactone to produce a model fresh cheese. A trained bitter-sensitive panel was not able to distinguish cathepsin D-spiked model fresh cheeses from the control model fresh cheeses in a triangle test. Model fresh cheese samples were also analyzed for known bitter peptides derived from casein fractions using a HPLC-tandem mass spectrometry (MS) approach. In accordance with the sensory evaluation, the MS analyses revealed that the bitter peptides investigated within the cathepsin D-spiked model fresh cheese were not found or were below the limit of detection. Even though cathepsin D may be present during the fermentation of pasteurized milk, it does not seem to be responsible for bitter peptide formation from milk proteins on its own.

Abstract
Proteases play a significant role in milk and its products by affecting flavor, texture and longevity. The expression of endogenous proteases varies across different stages of lactation. The study was conducted to understand the transcriptional pattern of different classes of protease-pathways associated genes (CTSB, CTSD, CTSH, CTSL, CTSK, CTSS, CTSZ, PLAU, PLAT) and potential protease inhibitors (SERPIN E2 and SERPIN F2) in 40 milk somatic cells (MSC) samples isolated during early, peak, mid and late lactation stages of Sahiwal cows and Murrah buffaloes - the two most important dairy breeds of India. In Sahiwal cows, except CTSK and PLAU, the expression of other proteases class was not affected significantly (p > 0.05) across lactation stages. However, in Murrah buffaloes, the expression of different proteases increased as the lactation progressed. Most of the proteases showed lower expression during early and peak lactation stages while their expression tends to increase during mid to late lactation stages. The overall trend was somewhat similar in both the dairy species albeit the level of expression was higher in buffalo MSC as compared to cow MSC. The study has provided valuable information on expression kinetics of different proteases in milk somatic cells of two major dairy breeds of India.

Abstract
Proteases present in milk are heat-sensitive, and their activities increase or decrease depending on the intensity of the thermal treatment applied. The thermal effects on the protease activity are well-known for bovine milk but poorly understood for ovine and caprine milk. This study aimed to determine the non-specific and specific protease activities in casein and whey fractions isolated from raw bovine, ovine, and caprine milk collected in early lactation, and to determine the effects of low-temperature, long-time (63°C for 30 min) and high-temperature, short-time (85°C for 5 min) treatments on protease activities within each milk fraction. The non-specific protease activities in raw and heat-treated milk samples were determined using the substrate azocasein. Plasmin (the main protease in milk) and plasminogen-derived activities were determined using the chromogenic substrate S-2251 (D-Val-Leu-Lys-pNA dihydrochloride). Peptides were characterized using high-resolution liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. The activity of all native proteases, shown as non-specific proteases, was similar between raw bovine and caprine milk samples, but lower (P < 0.05) than raw ovine milk in the whey fraction. There was no difference (P > 0.05) between the non-specific protease activity of the casein fraction of raw bovine and caprine milk samples; both had higher activity than ovine milk. After 63°C/30 min, the non-specific protease activity decreased (44%; P > 0.05) for the bovine casein fraction only. In contrast, the protease activity of the milk heated at 85°C/5 min changed depending on the species and fraction. For instance, the activity decreased by 49% for ovine whey fraction, but it increased by 68% for ovine casein fraction. Plasmin and plasminogen were in general inactivated (P > 0.05) when all milk fractions were heated at 85°C/5 min. Most of the peptides present in heat-treated milk were derived from β-casein and αS1-casein, and they matched the hydrolysis profile of cathepsin D and plasmin. Identified peptides in ruminant milk samples had purported immunomodulatory and inhibitory functions. These findings indicate that the non-specific protease activity in whey and casein fractions differed between ruminant milk species, and specific thermal treatments could be used to retain better protease activity for all ruminant milk species.

Abstract
Skin bag Tulum cheeses traditionally produced in the Central Taurus region of Turkey were studied to identify peptide profiles by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry over 180 d of ripening. After mass spectrometry analysis, 203 peptides were identified: 59 from αS1-casein (CN), 11 from αS2-CN, 129 from β-CN, and 4 from κ-CN. Numbers of αS1- and β-CN-derived peptides increased with increasing number of ripening days due to the dependence of newly formed peptides on proteolysis. However, similar increases were not observed for αS2- and κ-CN-derived peptides. Most identified peptides consisted of β-CN-derived peptides, followed by αS1-, αS2-, and κ-CN-derived peptides. Among these, bioactive peptides were found, including antihypertensive, antibacterial, antioxidant, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitory, metal chelating, skin regenerating, glucagon-like peptide-1 secretion enhancing, opioid, cathepsin B inhibitory, prolyl endopeptidase inhibitory, immunomodulatory, brain function improving, antiamnesic, antihypercholesterolemic, anti-inflammatory, and anticarcinogenic peptides.

Abstract
Aside from their amino acid content, dairy proteins are valuable for their ability to carry encrypted bioactive peptides whose activities are latent until released by digestive enzymes or endogenous enzymes within the food. Peptides can possess a wide variety of functionalities, such as antibacterial, antihypertensive, and antioxidative properties, as demonstrated by in vitro and in vivo studies. This phenomenon raises the question as to what impact various traditional cheese-making processes have on the formation of bioactive peptides in the resulting products. In this study, we have profiled the naturally-occurring peptides in two hard and two soft traditional cheeses and have identified their known bioactive sequences. While past studies have typically identified fewer than 100 peptide sequences in a single cheese, we have used modern instrumentation to identify between 2900 and 4700 sequences per cheese, an increase by a factor of about 50. We demonstrated substantial variations in proteolysis and peptide formation between the interior and rind of each cheese, which we ascribed to the differences in microbial composition between these regions. We identified a total of 111 bioactive sequences among the four cheeses, with the greatest number of sequences, 89, originating from Mimolette. The most common bioactivities identified were antimicrobial and inhibition of the angiotensin-converting enzyme. This work revealed that cheese proteolysis and the resulting peptidomes are more complex than originally thought in terms of the number of peptides released, variation in peptidome across sites within a single cheese, and variation in bioactive peptides among cheese-making techniques.

Abstract
We applied capillary electrophoresis, liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass-spectrometry (MS/MS), and ultra-performance liquid chromatography to determine the composition of water-insoluble and water-soluble proteinaceous fractions of the cheese and to study in detail the degradation of caseins during 8 mo of ripening of Estonian high-temperature cooked hard cheese Old Saare. The application of high-resolution and high-accuracy MS/MS enabled identification of more than 3,000 small peptides, representing a fairly full casein peptidome containing peptides of 4 to 25 AA in length: 1,049 from β-casein (CN), 944 from αS1-CN, 813 from αS2-CN, and 234 from κ-CN. The majority of β-CN- and αS1-CN-derived peptides originated from the N-terminal parts of the molecule, f6-93 and f1-124, respectively; peptides from αS2-CN arose predominantly from the C-terminal end f100-162. At the beginning of ripening, we found a relatively high amount of peptides originating from the glycomacropeptide part of κ-CN, whereas peptides from para-κ-CN prevailed during the later stages of ripening of the cheese. The cleavage patterns of β-CN, αS2-CN, as well as αS1-CN, showed that primary proteolysis was started mainly by plasmin, although a low proteolytic activity of chymosin was also evident. Based on the analysis of cleavage sites, we observed a significant participation of proteolytic enzymes, including amino- and carboxypeptidases, of both mesophilic and thermophilic starter bacteria in further hydrolysis of oligopeptides during the ripening. Several new phosphopeptides were detected in the result of MS/MS data analysis. The profiles of the estimated concentrations of phosphopeptides revealed that those originating from β-CN and αS1-CN accumulated during cheese maturation. In contrast, we did not notice any generation of phosphopeptides from the highly phosphorylated part of αS2-CN, f25-80, presumably due to the inaccessibility of this region to the action of plasmin and chymosin. The analysis of cleavage sites and the combination of principal component and clustering analyses provided a characterization of the complex dynamics of formation and degradation of peptides during cheese maturation. We made an attempt to obtain a comprehensive picture of proteolysis during Old Saare cheese ripening on the basis of the detailed peptidomic data, including also the less abundant peptides determined by MS/MS, and complemented by the data on intact caseins and free AA and reported the results in the paper.

Abstract
Background: Peptidomics research has demonstrated that protease activity is higher in breast milk from preterm-delivering mothers than from term-delivering mothers. However, to our knowledge, the effect of the degree of prematurity and postnatal age on proteases and protease inhibitors in human milk remains unknown.Objective: We aimed to determine the change of proteases and protease inhibitors in milk from mothers who delivered prematurely across gestational age (GA) and postnatal age.Methods: Milk samples were collected from 18 mothers aged 26-40 y who delivered preterm infants and who lacked mastitis. For analysis, samples were separated into 2 groups: 9 from early GA (EGA) (24-26 wk GA)-delivering mothers and 9 from late GA (LGA) (27-32 wk GA)-delivering mothers. Within the 9 samples in each group, the collection time ranged from postnatal days 2 to 47. The activity and predicted activity of proteases in preterm milk were determined with the use of fluorometric and spectrophotometric assays and peptidomics, respectively. Protease and protease inhibitor concentrations were determined with the use of ELISA. Linear mixed models were applied to compare enzymes across GA and postnatal age.Results: Carboxypeptidase B2, kallikrein, plasmin, elastase, thrombin, and cytosol aminopeptidase were present and active in the milk of preterm-delivering mothers. Most milk protease and antiprotease concentrations did not change with GA or postnatal age. However, the concentration and activity of kallikrein, the most abundant and active protease in preterm milk, increased by 25.4 ng · mL-1 · d-1 and 0.454 μg · mL-1 · d-1 postnatally, respectively, in EGA milk samples while remaining stable in LGA milk samples.Conclusions: This research demonstrates that proteases are active in human milk and begin to degrade milk protein within the mammary gland before consumption by infants. Proteases and protease inhibitors in milk from mothers of premature infants mostly did not vary substantially across GA and postnatal age.

Abstract
Individual caprine milk with different somatic cell counts (SCC) were studied with the aim of investigating the percentage distribution of leukocyte cell types and the activities of indigenous proteolytic enzymes; proteolysis of casein was also studied in relation to cell type following recovery from milk. The experiment was conducted on 5 intensively managed dairy flocks of Garganica goats; on the basis of SCC, the experimental groups were denoted low (L-SCC; <700,000 cells/mL), medium (M-SCC; from 701,000 to 1,500,000 cells/mL), and high (H-SCC; >1,501,000 cells/mL) SCC. Leukocyte distribution differed between groups; polymorphonuclear neutrophilic leukocytes were higher in M-SCC and H-SCC milk samples, the percentage macrophages was the highest in H-SCC, and levels of nonviable cells significantly decreased with increasing SCC. Activities of all the main proteolytic enzymes were affected by SCC; plasmin activity was the highest in H-SCC milk and the lowest in L-SCC, and elastase and cathepsin D activities were the highest in M-SCC. Somatic cell count influenced casein hydrolysis patterns, with less intact α- and β-casein in H-SCC milk. Higher levels of low electrophoretic mobility peptides were detected in sodium caseinate incubated with leukocytes isolated from L-SCC milk, independent of cell type, whereas among cells recovered from M-SCC milk, macrophages yielded the highest levels of low electrophoretic mobility peptides from sodium caseinate. The level of high electrophoretic mobility peptides was higher in sodium caseinate incubated with polymorphonuclear neutrophilic leukocytes and macrophages isolated from M-SCC, whereas the same fraction of peptides was always the highest, independent of leukocyte type, for cells recovered from H-SCC milk. In caprine milk, a level of 700,000 cells/mL represented the threshold for changes in leukocyte distribution, which is presumably related to the immune status of the mammary gland. Differences in the profile of indigenous lysosomal proteolytic enzymes in caprine milk may influence the integrity of casein based on proteolysis patterns of sodium caseinate incubated with isolated and lysed leukocyte types.

Abstract
Somatic cells are an important component naturally present in milk, and somatic cell count is used as an indicator of udder health and milk quality. The role of somatic cells in dairy processes and products is ill-defined in most studies because the role of these cells combines also the concomitance of physicochemical modifications of milk, bacterial count, and the udder inflammation in the presence of high somatic cell count. The aim of this review is to focus on the role of somatic cells themselves and of endogenous enzymes from somatic cells in milk, in dairy transformation processes, and in characteristics of final products overcoming biases due to other factors. The immune function of somatic cells in the udder defense and their protective role in milk will be primarily considered. Different characteristics of milk induced by various somatic cell counts, types, and their endogenous enzymes influencing directly the technological properties of milk and the final quality of dairy products will be discussed as well. By comparing methods used in other studies and eliminating biases due to other factors not considered in these studies, a new approach has been suggested to evaluate the effective role of somatic cells on dairy processes and products. In addition, this new approach allows the characterization of somatic cells and their endogenous enzymes and, in future research, will allow the clarification of mechanisms involved in the release of these components from somatic cells during dairy processes, particularly in cheese technologies.

Abstract
Plasmin, the major indigenous protease in milk, is linked to quality defects in dairy products. The specificity of plasmin on caseins has previously been studied using purified caseins and in the indigenous peptide profile of milk. We investigated the specificity and proteolytic pathway of plasmin in directly heated UHT milk (>150 °C for <0.2 s) during 14 weeks of storage at 20 °C in relation to age gelation and bitter peptides. Sixty-six peptides from αS- and β-caseins could be attributed to plasmin activity during the storage period, of which 23 were potentially bitter. Plasmin exhibited the highest affinity for the hydrophilic regions in the caseins that most probably were exposed to the serum phase and the least affinity for hydrophobic or phosphorylated regions. The proteolytic pattern observed suggests that plasmin destabilizes the casein micelle by hydrolyzing casein-casein and casein-calcium phosphate interaction sites, which may subsequently cause age gelation in UHT milk.

Abstract
Substantial variation in milk coagulation properties has been observed among dairy cows. Consequently, raw milk from individual cows and breeds exhibits distinct coagulation capacities that potentially affect the technological properties and milk processing into cheese. This variation is largely influenced by protein composition, which is in turn affected by underlying genetic polymorphisms in the major milk proteins. In this study, we conducted a large screening on 3 major Scandinavian breeds to resolve the variation in milk coagulation traits and the frequency of milk with impaired coagulation properties (noncoagulation). In total, individual coagulation properties were measured on morning milk collected from 1,299 Danish Holstein (DH), Danish Jersey (DJ), and Swedish Red (SR) cows. The 3 breeds demonstrated notable interbreed differences in coagulation properties, with DJ cows exhibiting superior coagulation compared with the other 2 breeds. In addition, milk samples from 2% of DH and 16% of SR cows were classified as noncoagulating. Furthermore, the cows were genotyped for major genetic variants in the αS1- (CSN1S1), β- (CSN2), and κ-casein (CSN3) genes, revealing distinct differences in variant frequencies among breeds. Allele I of CSN2, which had not formerly been screened in such a high number of cows in these Scandinavian breeds, showed a frequency around 7% in DH and DJ, but was not detected in SR. Genetic polymorphisms were significantly associated with curd firming rate and rennet coagulation time. Thus, CSN1S1 C, CSN2 B, and CSN3 B positively affected milk coagulation, whereas CSN2 A(2), in particular, had a negative effect. In addition to the influence of individual casein genes, the effects of CSN1S1-CSN2-CSN3 composite genotypes were also examined, and revealed strong associations in all breeds, which more or less reflected the single gene results. Overall, milk coagulation is under the influence of additive genetic variation. Optimal milk for future cheese production can be ensured by monitoring the frequency of unfavorable variants and thus preventing an increase in the number of cows producing milk with impaired coagulation. Selective breeding for variants associated with superior milk coagulation can potentially increase raw milk quality and cheese yield in all 3 Scandinavian breeds.

Abstract
Proteolysis of bovine F-actin by cathepsin D (E.C. 3.4.23.5) in 50 mM Na acetate buffer, pH 5.5, at 37°C was investigated using sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). Actin was hydrolyzed by cathepsin D during incubation to peptides detectable by RP-HPLC, although no degradation products were detected by SDS-PAGE. Peptides (2% trichloroacetic acid-soluble) from the hydrolyzate were isolated by RP-HPLC on a C(18) column using an acetonitrile/water gradient and identified from their N-terminal sequence and mass. Cathepsin D cleavage sites were identified at Cys(12)-Asp(13), Gly(22)-Phe(23), Arg(30)-Ala(31), Thr(79)-Asn(80), Ile(87)-Trp(88), Thr(91)-Phe(92), Phe(92)-Tyr(93), Arg(97)-Val(98), His(103)-Pro(104), Leu(107)-Thr(108), Thr(108)-Glu(109), Lys(120)-Met(121), Leu(144)-Tyr(145), Ile(153)-Val(154), Leu(155)-Asp(156), Ile(167)-Tyr(168), Leu(180)-Asp(181), Met(192)-Lys(193), Leu(195)-Thr(196), Arg(208)-Glu(209), Arg(212)-Asp(213), Leu(223)-Asp(224), Lys(240)-Ser(241), Thr(262)-Leu(263), Trp(342)-Ile(343), Arg(349)-Ser(350), Trp(358)-Ile(359), and Lys(375)-Cys(376). In general, cathepsin D preferentially cleaved bonds containing at least one hydrophobic amino acid residue. The results of this study showed that actin was degraded extensively by cathepsin D with peptides released from numerous locations in the protein molecule.

Abstract
Ragusano is a pasta filata cheese produced from raw milk in Sicily. The proteolysis was extensively analyzed after stretching (day 0), at 4 and 7 months of ripening through soluble nitrogen, urea-PAGE, and peptide identification by tandem mass spectrometry. After stretching, 123 peptides were identified: 72 arising from β-casein, 34 from α(s1)-casein, and 17 from α(s2)-casein. The main protein splitting corresponded to the action of plasmin, chymosin, cathepsin D, cell envelope proteinase, and peptidase activities of lactic acid bacteria. Unlike other types of cheeses, <10% residual β- and α(s)-caseins remained intact at 7 months, indicating original network organization based on large casein fragments. The number of identified soluble peptides also dramatically decreased after 4 and 7 months of ripening, to 47 and 25, respectively. Among them, bioactive peptides were found, that is, mineral carrier, antihypertensive, and immunomodulating peptides and phosphopeptides.

Abstract
Cathepsin D from the hepatopancreas of cuttlefish ( Sepia officinalis ) was purified to homogeneity by precipitation with ammonium sulfate (30-60%, w/v), Sephadex G-100 gel filtration, Mono-S cation-exchange chromatography, Sephadex G-75 gel filtration, and Mono-S FPLC with a 54-fold increase in specific activity and 17% recovery. The molecular weight of the purified cathepsin D was estimated to be 37.5 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). On the basis of the native-PAGE and hemoglobin zymography, the purified protease appeared as a single band. The optimum pH and temperature for the cathepsin D activity were pH 3.0 and 50 °C, respectively, using hemoglobin as a substrate. The purified enzyme was completely inhibited by pepstatin A; however, no inhibition was observed with phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. Moreover, the activity was strongly inhibited by SDS and molybdate and enhanced by ATP. The purified cathepsin D was activated by Mg(2+), Ni(2+), Zn(2+), Cu(2+), Cd(2+), Sr(2+), and Co(2+) ions, whereas it was not affected by Na(+), K(+), and Ca(2+) ions. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the first 13 amino acids of the purified cathepsin D was APTPEPLSNYMDA. S. officinalis cathepsin D, which showed high homology with cathepsin D from marine vertebrates and invertebrates, had a Pro residue at position 6 and a Ser residue at position 8, where Thr and Lys are common in all marine vertebrates cathepsins D. S. officinalis cathepsin D showed high efficiency for the hydrolysis of myofibrillar proteins extracted from cuttlefish muscle.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to determine the effect of high pressure (HP) processing (200, 450 and 650 MPa) at various temperatures (20, 40 and 55°C) on the total plasmin plus plasminogen-derived activity (PL), plasminogen activator(s) (PA) and cathepsin D activities and on denaturation of major whey proteins in bovine milk. Data indicated that transfer of both PL and PA from the casein micelles to milk serum occurred at all pressures utilized at room temperature (20°C). In addition to the transfer of PL and PA from micelles, there were reductions in activities of PL (16–18%) and PA (38–62%) for the pressures 450 and 650 MPa, at room temperature. There were synergistic negative effects between pressure and temperature on residual PL activity at 450 and 650 MPa and on residual PA activity only at 450 MPa. Cathepsin D activity in the acid whey from HP-treated milk was in general baroresistant at room temperature. The residual activity of cathepsin D decreased significantly at 650 MPa and 40°C and at the pressures 450 and 650 MPa at 55°C. Synergistic negative effects on the amount of native β-lactoglobulin were observed at 450 and 650 MPa and on the amount of native α-lactalbumin at 650 MPa. There were significant correlations between enzymatic activities (PL, PA and cathepsin D) and the residual native β-lactoglobulin and α-lactalbumin in bovine milk. In conclusion, HP significantly affected the activity of indigenous proteolytic enzymes and whey protein denaturation in bovine milk. Reduction in activity of indigenous enzymes (PL, PA and cathepsin D) and transfer of PL and PA from the casein to milk serum induced by HP is expected to have a profound effect on cheese yield, proteolysis during cheese ripening and quality of UHT milk during storage.

Abstract
The somatic cell count (SCC) in milk is associated with increasing proteolytic degradation of caseins and it has been suggested that enzymes derived from somatic cells contribute to a lower yield and poorer quality of cheese. It is essential to increase the knowledge on naturally occurring milk proteinase activities to better understand how to improve the technological quality of milk. The aim of this work was to identify peptides actually present in milk as a result of proteolysis at different levels of SCC and to assign these peptides to potential responsible proteases where possible. Peptide fractions were prepared from acid whey by ultrafiltration at a molecular cut-off value of 10 000 Da. The peptides were separated using capillary reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) and identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight tandem mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS/MS). Peptides identified ranged in mass from 1023 to 2000 Da, and originated from αS1-, αS2- or β-casein. Possible responsible proteases that could be suggested when examining the peptide cleavage sites included plasmin, cathepsin B, D and leukocyte elastase. The results indicated that plasmin was primarily responsible for the observed proteolysis in milk at low cell count, whereas the cathepsins and elastase became implicated at elevated cell count. Specificity and activity of cathepsins and elastase has earlier mainly been studied in model systems, whereas less is known about their activities in milk itself. This is also the first indication of involvement of elastase in milk proteolysis through the unequivocal determination of cleavage sites.

Abstract
Five different milk proteins (alpha-casein, beta-casein, kappa-casein, beta-lactoglobulin, and lactoferrin) and a peptide substrate were applied as substrates for the investigation of how lactosylation affected proteolysis by different proteases. After a lactosylation period of 4 days in aqueous solution, at 65 degrees C and pH 6.8 in a protein: lactose ratio of 1000 the proteins were enzymatically hydrolyzed by the three milk relevant proteases plasmin, cathepsin D, and chymosin. Lactosylation of all substrates affected hydrolysis by plasmin negatively, with the largest effect on the globular proteins. This could be explained by modification of lysine residues, being the preferred cleavage site for plasmin, but also the residue generally preferred for lactosylation. Lactosylation of the caseins and of beta-lactoglobulin did not affect subsequent cleavage by cathepsin D and chymosin significantly, but for beta-lactoglobulin, both the secondary as well as the tertiary structure were affected by lactosylation. In contrast, decreased hydrolysis by cathepsin D and chymosin was observed for lactoferrin after lactosylation. Decreased hydrolysis may be caused by a more compact tertiary structure induced by lactosylation of lactoferrin, as indicated by fluorescence spectroscopy measurements.

Abstract
The proteic profiling of bovine milk produced by cows with subclinical mastitis was obtained by MALDI mass spectrometry. A simple procedure of chemical fractionation of raw milk was developed, whereby less complex fractions of proteins were obtained prior to mass spectrometric and SDS-PAGE analysis. The profiles of milk proteins thus obtained could allow the identification of either early markers of the acute phase of mastitis or endogenous peptide of innate immune response. The activity of the endogenous proteases in raw milk produced from each quarter of healthy and mastic cows was therefore assayed over 24-, 48-, 96-, and 216-h incubation at 37 degrees C at both physiological and acid pH. Sequence-specific peptides were identified for each fraction by MS/MS experiments, and all tandem mass spectra were evaluated using MASCOT database searching. The results show a specific proteolytic activity of endogenous enzyme toward beta-casein precursor (P02666), alpha-S2-casein (P02663), alpha-S1-casein (P02662), and kappa-casein (P02668).

Abstract
This work consisted of the intramammary infections (IMI) of 8 heifers by high doses of Escherichia coli to study both the proteolytic activity in milk and the resulting peptides. Therefore, a milking kinetic has been followed, and several parameters have been studied, such as proteose peptones (PP) fraction (quantitative and qualitative changes), plasmin activity (PA), milk somatic cell count (SCC), and bacterial count. A qualitative study of milk proteins and PP was performed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-PAGE, and the peptides recovered in PP during the acute phase of inflammation were amino-terminal micro-sequenced. A BSA increase in milk over time supported the hypothesis of an increase in the permeability of the epithelial barrier. A significant increase in PP content, considered to be an indicator of proteolysis, was observed from postinfusion hours (PIH) 12 to 48. Both the E. coli bacterial count and the SCC increased from PIH 3 to 216. Plasmin activity was increased noticeably from PIH 15 to 24. The respective increases in SCC, bacterial count, and PA suggest their involvement in a global mechanism responsible for the increase in proteolysis in milk after E. coli challenge. Somatic cell count and E. coli may be involved from PIH 3 to 216, and PA involvement might be highlighted during the maximum proteolysis, from PIH 15 to 24. A qualitative study of PP fraction by electrophoresis revealed the apparition of 5 peptide bands: P1 and P2 previously recovered during the lipopolysaccharide challenge, and E1 (27.0 kDa), E2 (15.5 kDa), and E3 (9.0 kDa) were specific to E. coli challenge; E1, E2, and E3 contained casein fragments. The roles played by leukocytes and E. coli are discussed.

Abstract
Beta-catenin is an executor of Wnt signaling and it can control cell fate and specification. Deletion of exon 3 from the endogenous beta-catenin gene in differentiating mammary alveolar epithelium of the mouse results in the generation of an activated protein that lacks amino acids 5-80. This is accompanied by a loss of mammary epithelial differentiation and a transdifferentiation process to squamous metaplasias. To further understand the molecular process of transdifferentiation, the expression of genes in mammary tissue was profiled in the absence and presence of activated of beta-catenin. Microarrays were generated that carry about 8500 cDNA clones with approximately 6000 obtained from mammary tissue. Mutant tissues, which had undergone either partial (TD1) or complete (TD2) squamous transdifferentiation, were compared with wild-type mammary tissue. Four groups of genes were identified. Group 1 contained genes whose expression was induced in both mutant tissues. Groups 2 and 3 contained genes that were active preferentially in TD2 and TD1, respectively. Group 4 contained genes suppressed in both samples. Using this approach, known and unknown genes activated in the transdifferentiation process were identified. A new 20 kDa protein (PANE1) induced upon transdifferentiation was nuclear in nonconfluent cells and cytoplasmic in confluent or dividing cells. Lastly, stabilization of beta-catenin resulted in the retention of differentiated epithelium upon involution and altered activities of several proteases in transdifferentiated mammary epithelium.
