Egg yolk is an important source of nutrients for embryo development. In this study, the egg yolk protein composition at 0, 10, and 18 D of incubation was analyzed by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) combined with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry. A significant difference in the abundance of 42 protein spots representing 12 proteins were identified (P < 0.05). The 2-DE gel image analysis exhibited that the molecular weight (MW) of 29 protein spots was lower than their theoretical value, in which 14 vitellogenin (VTG) fragments were lower than the theoretical value. There were 13 protein spots showed a higher MW including 5 ovotransferrins with MW of 87.2 kDa. The gene ontology enrichment analysis suggested that biological process of the differentially expressed proteins were mainly involved in lipid transport and lipid localization at 10 and 18 D of incubation. The molecular function of the differentially expressed proteins was involved in nutrient reservoir activity, lipid transporter activity, and antigen binding at 10 D of incubation. At 18 D of incubation, the differentially expressed proteins mainly participated in nutrient reservoir activity and substrate-specific transporter activity. The high abundance of VTGs at 10 D of incubation might participate in lipid localization and lipid transportation to facilitate the yolk nutrient transport to embryo. The low expression of ovotransferrins at 10 D of incubation indicated the chondrogenesis of embryo.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D002642	Chick Embryo	The developmental entity of a fertilized chicken egg (ZYGOTE). The developmental process begins about 24 h before the egg is laid at the BLASTODISC, a small whitish spot on the surface of the EGG YOLK. After 21 days of incubation, the embryo is fully developed before hatching.	Embryo, Chick,Chick Embryos,Embryos, Chick

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D053719	Tandem Mass Spectrometry	A mass spectrometry technique using two (MS/MS) or more mass analyzers. With two in tandem, the precursor ions are mass-selected by a first mass analyzer, and focused into a collision region where they are then fragmented into product ions which are then characterized by a second mass analyzer. A variety of techniques are used to separate the compounds, ionize them, and introduce them to the first mass analyzer. For example, for in GC-MS/MS, GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY-MASS SPECTROMETRY is involved in separating relatively small compounds by GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY prior to injecting them into an ionization chamber for the mass selection.

D019032	Spectrometry, Mass, Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption-Ionization	A mass spectrometric technique that is used for the analysis of large biomolecules. Analyte molecules are embedded in an excess matrix of small organic molecules that show a high resonant absorption at the laser wavelength used. The matrix absorbs the laser energy, thus inducing a soft disintegration of the sample-matrix mixture into free (gas phase) matrix and analyte molecules and molecular ions. In general, only molecular ions of the analyte molecules are produced, and almost no fragmentation occurs. This makes the method well suited for molecular weight determinations and mixture analysis.
