Novel proteins and glycoproteins identified in royal jelly
Recently, the research team led by Professor Li Jianke, Institute of Apicultural Research (IAR) of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) identified 13 novel proteins and 25 glycoproteins in royal jelly. In 2011, the same team has already discovered 19 proteins in royal jelly proteomic research. The newly identified proteins and N-glycosylated proteins are closely linked to the health promoting function for human. The paper has been published in BMC Genomics on February 16th, 2014.
Digging out functional proteins that exist in royal jelly is a persistent pursuit for apicultural researchers. With a total of 32 protein identified, IAR’s team has identified the largest number of novel protein in royal jelly in the world so far. At same time, they also discovered 25 glycosylated proteins in royal jelly and mapped 42 new glycosylated sites onto royal jelly proteins using the glycoproteomics strategy. These findings represent a crucial step toward systematically revealing the functionality of N-glycosylated royal jelly proteins, and are potentially useful for producing a protein with desirable pharmacokinetic and biological activity using a genetic engineering approach.
