La lactoferrine : une protéine multifonctionnelle

Abstract: Cet article est dédié à la mémoire de madame le Professeur Geneviève Spik Isolée en 1960 [1], la lactoferrine appartient à la famille des transferrines : lactoferrines (Lf) et transferrines (Tf) fixent réversiblement deux ions ferriques et possèdent non seulement une structure primaire (59 % homologie) mais également une conformation spatiale très proches avec des sites de liaison du fer identiques. Elles diffèrent par leur charge de surface (pHi de 8,4-9 pour la Lf et de 5,4-5,9 pour la Tf) et la stabilité de… Show more

“…As mentioned above, most results indicate that Lf from different origins can exert bacteriostatic effects due to its iron-chelating activity, but it can also be bactericidal due to its interaction with LPS and porins in Gram-negative bacteria, or with teichoic acids in Gram-positive bacteria. These interactions lead to membrane damage and bacterial death [38,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54]. Moreover, the antimicrobial activity of Lf is also highly dependent on its cationic properties, because the addition of positive charges to Lf via amidation enhances its antibacterial and antiviral properties and, in contrast, the addition of negative charges by acylation abolishes them [55].…”

“…In adult mammalian species LF is produced by mucosal epithelial cells. It is found in various mucosal secretions, including tears, saliva, vaginal fluids, semen [5], nasal and bronchial secretions, bile, gastrointestinal fluids and urine [6]. However the highest concentrations of LF are detected in colostrum (~9.7 g/L) and mature milk (2–3 g/L) of humans, making it the second most abundant whey protein in human milk [7].…”

“…et antimicrobiennes (lactoferrine, bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (ou BPI), défensines) [2,37]. Récemment, un nouveau méca-nisme bactéricide mis en oeuvre par les PN a été décrit : l'expulsion de filaments appelés NET (neutrophil extracellular traps) ou « filets », fibres composées de chromatine et de protéases qui emprisonnent et tuent des microbes hors de la cellule.…”
