Abstract
Yak milk is rich in essential milk proteins of nutritional and therapeutic value. In this study, whey proteins of milk from 3 yak breeds (Gannan, GN; Huanhu, HH; Maiwa, MW) in China were comprehensively identified and compared using a data-independent acquisition quantitative proteomics approach. A total of 632 proteins were identified in yak milk whey samples, in which immune-related proteins were abundant. Compared with other milks, more proteins were involved in oxidation-reduction process and with ATP binding. In addition, we identified 96, 155, and 164 differentially expressed proteins (DEP) for GN versus HH, GN versus MW, and HH versus MW, respectively. "Phagosome" and "complement and coagulation cascades" were the most significant pathways for DEP of GN versus HH and GN or HH versus MW yak milk based on the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis. Protein-protein interaction network analysis showed that DEP for the 3 comparisons had significant biological interactions but were associated with different functions. The results provide useful information on yak milk from different breeds in China, and elucidate the biological functions of yak milk proteins.
