Abstract
The low-resolution structure of casein (CN) clusters in sodium caseinate (NaCas) solution and its conformational dynamics were obtained by size-exclusion chromatography (SEC), analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The results of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and native PAGE revealed that the casein clusters consisted predominantly of α- and β-CN complexes, and a trace amount of κ-CN. The AUC analysis indicated that the casein clusters were composed of 34.6% of casein monomers, 19.2%, 20.4%, and 25.8% of complexes with molar weight (Mw) of ~50.3, ~70.6, and ~133 kDa, respectively. The volume fractions of components in casein clusters were quantified as 64.3% of αs1-β-αs2-CN, 22.3% of αs1-CN, 8.5% of αs2-CN, and 4.4% of αs1-αs2-CN, respectively. The ensemble optimization method (EOM) gave a fitting result where αs1-β-αs2-CN species coexisted in ~35.3% under compact conformation and ~64.7% in elongated conformation in solution. The three-dimensional structures of αs1-β-αs2-CN from EOM showed a good overlay on the casein clusters ab initio model obtained from DAMMIN and DAMMIX program. MD simulations revealed that αs1-β-αs2-CN underwent a conformational change from the elongated state into the compact state within the initial 200 ns of simulations. The addition of nonionic surfactants affected little the backbone-to-backbone interactions in the formation of the casein clusters. We propose that αs1-CN, β-CN, αs2-CN, and κ-CN associated in consecutive steps into casein clusters, and a trace of κ-CN may be located at the surface of the assemblies limiting the growth of casein aggregates.

Bovine κ-Casein Fragment Induces Hypo-Responsive M2-Like Macrophage Phenotype. Nutrients 2019; 11:nu11071688.

Abstract
Immunomodulatory nutraceuticals have garnered special attention due to their therapeutic potential for the amelioration of many chronic inflammatory conditions. Macrophages are key players in the induction, propagation and resolution of inflammation, actively contributing to the pathogenesis and resolution of inflammatory disorders. As such, this study aimed to investigate the possible therapeutic effects bovine casein derived nutraceuticals exert on macrophage immunological function. Initial studies demonstrated that sodium caseinate induced a M2-like macrophage phenotype that was attributed to the kappa-casein subunit. Kappa-casein primed macrophages acquired a M2-like phenotype that expressed CD206, CD54, OX40L, CD40 on the cell surface and gene expression of Arg-1, RELM-α and YM1, archetypical M2 markers. Macrophages stimulated with kappa-casein secreted significantly reduced TNF-α and IL-10 in response to TLR stimulation through a mechanism that targeted the nuclear factor-κB signal transduction pathway. Macrophage proteolytic processing of kappa-casein was required to elicit these suppressive effects, indicating that a fragment other than C-terminal fragment, glycomacropeptide, induced these modulatory effects. Kappa-casein treated macrophages also impaired T-cell responses. Given the powerful immuno-modulatory effects exhibited by kappa-casein and our understanding of immunopathology associated with inflammatory diseases, this fragment has the potential as an oral nutraceutical and therefore warrants further investigation.

Abstract
A range of sodium caseinate samples were characterized by a multiangle laser light scattering (MALLS) system or by the use of MALLS as an on-line detector with size-exclusion chromatography (SEC). Sodium caseinate solutions, analyzed using a MALLS system alone, gave weight-average molar mass (M(w)) values in the range 1200-4700 kDa and z-average root-mean-square radius (R(g)) values ranged from approximately 50 to 120 nm. When these solutions were ultracentrifuged at 90000g for 1 h, a cloudy top layer was formed; the subnatant was carefully removed and analyzed by SEC-MALLS. The M(w) values were found to be in the range approximately 30-575 kDa, and R(g) values ranged from approximately 22 to 49 nm. During SEC, the MALLS system detected some very large-sized material that eluted close to the void volume; this material was hardly detected by the concentration detectors, i.e., ultra-violet (UV) and differential refractive index (DRI). The intensity of the light scattering (LS) signal from this very large sized material was greatly reduced in the subnatant. SEC of sodium caseinate samples revealed two main peaks with M(w) of approximately 420-750 kDa and 39-69 kDa, respectively. The R(g) values were very large for a protein molecule, and initial calculations suggested that the shape of caseinate molecules was likely to be highly elongated.
