Abstract | Several proteins with high proportions of S-containing essential amino acids were incubated in sheep rumen fluid in vitro and their rate of digestion was examined by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The S-rich proteins rice prolamin (10 kDa), maize zein (10 kDa) and the 3.2 kDa pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima L.) trypsin inhibitor-1 (CMTI-1) were highly resistant to rumen fluid degradation, relative to control proteins of known degradation rate (casein, bovine serum albumin (BSA) and pea (Pisum sativum) albumin-1 (PA1)). Comparison of PA1 and a recombinant N-terminal epitope-tagged PA1 indicated that addition of the epitope caused a slight increase in resistance to rumen degradation. The proteins were also incubated with a mixture of trypsin (EC 3.4.21.4) and chymotrypsin (EC3.4.21.1). PA1, BSA and casein were hydrolysed less rapidly than rice prolamin, maize zein and CMTI-1. Digestion by these intestinal proteases appeared to be complete. Thus, the prolamin, zein and CMTI-1 proteins are suitable candidates for expression as foreign proteins in pasture plants to increase throughput and uptake of essential amino acids in sheep. |
