Bovine and porcine beta-lactoglobulins were cloned and expressed in host cells with the aim of developing the tools necessary for their structural, functional and conformational characterisation by NMR techniques. Both lipocalins were expressed in Pichia pastoris, where the use of a constitutive promoter turned out to allow the highest productivity. The yield of recombinant proteins was further improved through multiple integration of the encoding genes and by increasing aeration of the transformed cultures.

In the present work, isoelectric point (pl) separation of proteins by pH-gradient ion-exchange chromatography (IEC) on packed capillary columns is demonstrated. The development of a miniaturized flow-through pH probe for reliable pH monitoring of the column effluent, which was an important technical challenge for adapting this technique to capillary dimensions, was solved by designing a low microliter per minute flow rate housing to a commercially available micro pH probe. Highly linear outlet pH-gradients within the pH range 8.

Novel genetic variants for donkey milk lysozyme and beta-lactoglobulins I and II have been identified by the combined use of peptide mass mapping and sequencing by tandem mass spectrometry in association with database searching. The novel donkey lysozyme variant designated as lysozyme B (Mr 14,631 Da) differed in three amino acid exchanges, N49 --> D, Y52 --> S, and S61 --> N, from the previously published sequence. Three novel genetic variants for donkey beta-lactoglobulins were identified.

Ovine milk proteins were analyzed both by coupling HPLC and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and by flow injection analysis and ESI-MS detection after separation and collection of fractions from gel permeation chromatography. These methods resolved the four ovine caseins and whey proteins and made it possible to study the complexity of these proteins associated with genetic polymorphism, post-translational changes (phosphorylation and glycosylation) and the presence of multiple forms of proteins. The experimental molecular masses of ewe milk proteins were: 19,373 for kappa-casein 3P; 25,616 for alpha(s2)-casein 10P; 23,411 for alpha(s1)-casein C-8P; 23,750 for beta-casein 5P; 18,170 and 18,148 for beta-lactoglobulins A and B; 14,152 for alpha-lactalbumin A and 66,322 for serum albumin.
