Project description:The detection of dairy processing is pivotal to our understanding of ancient subsistence strategies. This culinary process is linked to key arguments surrounding the evolution of lactase persistence in prehistory. Despite extensive evidence indicating the presence of dairy products in ceramics in the European Neolithic, questions remain about the nature and extent of milk (and lactose) processing and consumption. In order to investigate past patterns of dairy processing, here we analyse ancient proteins identified from Late Neolithic Funnel Beaker ceramics, scrutinising the principle that curd and whey proteins partition during the production of dairy foods from milk. Our results indicate the presence of casein-rich dairy products in these vessels suggesting the creation of curd-enriched products from raw milk. Moreover, this analysis reveals the use of multiple species for their dairy products in the Late Neolithic Funnel Beaker culture, adding to a growing body of evidence that multiple taxa were exploited for dairying in the Neolithic. Alongside palaeoproteomic analysis we also apply lipid residue analysis, with discrepancies in these two approaches suggesting that effects from isotope mixing may be underestimating the frequency of milk use in prehistoric pottery, highlighting the utility of a multi-stranded approach.

Project description:Ceramic vessels were used to cook fish/duck/black grouse, and proteomic studies were conducted on the ceramics to study how the choice of various database can affect the species identification and whether they can allow us to differentiate between fish and bird processing in ceramic vessels.

Project description:Ceramic vessels were used to cook a mixture of milk, meat (pork and beef) and cereals (wheat and barley), and proteomic studies were conducted on the ceramics to study the absorption and subsequent extraction and identification of the proteins from th various categories of foodstuff. A novel Deep Eutectic Solvent-based extraction procedure was also trialled and its efficacy compared with the standard GuHCl-based extraction procedure.

Project description:Ceramic vessels were used to cook fish/duck/black grouse, and proteomic studies were conducted on the ceramics to study how the choice of various database can affect the species identification and whether they can allow us to differentiate between fish and bird processing in ceramic vessels. We also employed a novel urea-GuHCl DES as the extraction reagent, and compared its efficiency with the conventional 6M GuHCl used for protein extraction (data available in project PXD027720). The samples used were same as the samples used in Peoject PXD027720, with a urea-GuHCl DES used as the extraction reagent instead of 6M GuHCl solution.

Project description:In this project we have applied palaeoproteomics to study archaeological shell beads dating back to the beginning of the 7th mill. cal BCE and recovered from a prehistoric site in Jordan (Ba'ja). These beads were made of mollusc shells and were of unknown origin, but suspected to be made of larger bivalves such as Tridacna or Spondylus sp. The aim of the study was to analyse ancient proteins extracted from these beads in order to infer their biological origin. Tiny amounts of ancient samples were used and the extracted proteins were analysed by high resolution liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). In order to identify obtained peptides, we have created an ‘in-house’ molluscan protein database, by gathering molluscan sequences (proteins and transcriptomes), which were downloaded from publicly available databases in NCBI. Searching against this comprehensive database, we were able to identify a number of shell proteins from Tridacna sp., the giant clam shells. Our study reports the oldest molluscan protein sequences ever recovered that come from a very warm environment.

Project description:Archaeological materials are a finite resource, and efforts should be made to minimize destructive analyses. This can be achieved by using protocols combining extraction of several lines of evidence, which decreases the material needed for analyses while maximizing the information yield. Archaeological dental calculus is a source of several different types of biomolecules, as well as microfossils, and can tell us about the human host, microbiome, diet, and even occupational activities. Here, we present a unified protocol allowing for simultaneous extraction of DNA and proteins from archaeological dental calculus. We evaluate the protocol on dental calculus from a range of ages and estimated preservation states, and compare it against standard DNA-only and protein-only protocols. We find that most aspects of downstream analyses are unaffected by the unified protocol, although minor shifts in the recovered proteome can be detected. Protein recovery depends on both the amount of starting material and choice of extraction protocol, whereas DNA recovery is significantly lowered through the unified protocol. However, DNA recovery from dental calculus is generally very high, and we found no differences in DNA fragment characteristics or taxonomic profile. In conclusion, the unified protocol allows for simultaneous extraction of two complementary lines of evidence from archaeological dental calculus without compromising downstream analyses, thereby minimizing the need for destructive analysis of this finite resource.

Project description:To investigate new health functions by blackcurrant extract (BCE), we compare altered of the genes expression before and after BCE (50μg/ml) treatment in MCF10A. MCF10A cells were seeded in culture dish and maintain to confluent. Then medium replace with mammary epithelial cell growth medium kit with or without BCE (50μg/ml). After the cells were incubated for 24 h at 37 °C 5% CO2.

Project description:Proteomics has become a popular method for investigating diet and cuisine in well-preserved ancient food remains, and calcified deposits like dental calculus. However, foodcrusts (the typically charred residues on the surface of pottery) have not been extensively explored as a source of dietary proteins. We remain ignorant of the impact of cooking and burial on the protein extractome, and crucially, the extent to which palaeoproteomic extractomes actually reflect the composition of input ingredients and cuisines. Therefore, through cooking and burial experiments we investigate the impact of these processes on protein preservation in foodcrusts and accompanying ceramics. Here, we aim to identify proteins that persist throughout the cooking process and become embedded in foodcrusts and ceramics, as well as those that persist through six months burial in soil, using ‘typical’ Mesolithic ingredients of Cervus elaphus (red deer), Salmo salar (Atlantic salmon) and Castanea sativa (sweet chestnut). Specifically, we seek to understand why particular proteins persist through cooking and burial. Hence we examine a range of physiochemical properties which have been theorised to aid protein preservation. The results reveal that proteins were much more likely to be detected in foodcrusts than ceramics using the methodology employed, with dietary proteins identified in all buried deer and salmon foodcrust replicates and most chestnut replicates, tentatively indicating that extraction of protein from ancient foodcrusts may be successful, while in contrast, dietary proteins were rarely identified in cooked or buried ceramics of any input ingredient. It was apparent that the input ingredient strongly influenced frequency of protein and peptide identifications, with chestnut surviving poorly compared to other ingredients, revealing that the detection of ingredients is biassed by the ingredients themselves. The results also reveal that degradation is not universal nor linear between proteins, indicating that protein physiochemical properties are at play. While certain properties appear to aid protein preservation such as hydrophobicity, none was seen to single-handedly explain why particular proteins/peptides survive in buried foodcrusts, with results indicating that certain properties act on protein preservation in complex ways requiring further investigation. These results have implications on archaeological analyses, by demonstrating the utility of foodcrusts as a good target sample for proteomics, while cautioning the interpretation of foodcrust extractomes: which should not be expected to reflect the initial input extractome.
