Proteomic analysis of egg white heparin-binding proteins: towards the identification of natural antibacterial molecules

Abstract: The chicken egg resists most environmental microbes suggesting that it potentially contains efficient antimicrobial molecules. Considering that some heparin-binding proteins in mammals are antibacterial, we investigated the presence and the antimicrobial activity of heparin-binding proteins from chicken egg white. Mass spectrometry analysis of the proteins recovered after heparin-affinity chromatography, revealed 20 proteins, including known antimicrobial proteins (avidin, lysozyme, TENP, ovalbumin-related pro… Show more

“…After loading the crude sample (pool of ten individuals, five males and five females), the beads were washed extensively with the washing buffer until the absorbance at 220 nm reached zero, as previously reported (27). Elution of bound proteins was achieved with 50 mM Tris-HCl, 2 M NaCl, pH 7.4, until the absorbance at 220 nm reached zero.…”

“…All samples (raw, flow-through and eluted fractions) were analyzed by SDS-PAGE. Protein profiles of egg white at ED11 and ED16 were compared to previously published data for experimental validation (27,30). For antibacterial assays, at least three independent assays were performed on Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella enterica…”

“…[30][31][32] Human BMP-2, by contrast, is a disulfide-linked homodimeric heparin-binding protein. 33,34 Egg white lysozyme is a monomeric heparin-binding protein, 35,36 which is also present in human milk. Purified lysozyme could be obtained from commercial sources in relatively large quantity and low cost.…”
