Tannins, a diverse group of water-soluble phenolics with high affinity to proteins, are widely distributed in various parts of plants, and have negative effects in herbivores after ingestion. Some mammalian species are thought to counteract tannins by secreting tannin-binding salivary proteins (TBSPs). Several types of TBSPs are found in the saliva of laboratory animals, livestock, and wildlife. Among them, proline-rich proteins (PRPs) and histatins are effective precipitators of tannins. It is…

Salivary tannin-binding proteins: A foraging advantage for goats?
No Major Role for Binding by Salivary Proteins as a Defense Against Dietary Tannins in Mediterranean Goats
TLDR
There is not a major role for salivary tannin-binding proteins in goats, and different tendencies of goat breeds to consume tann in-rich browse does not appear to be related to differences in salivARY tannIn- binding proteins.
Tannins in plant-herbivore interactions.
Salivary tannin‐binding proteins are a pervasive strategy used by the folivorous/frugivorous black howler monkey
TLDR
The research details the salivary protein composition of wild and zoo‐living black howler monkeys feeding on natural versus manufactured low‐tannin diets, and examines differences in TBSPs, mainly proline‐rich proteins (PRPs), to determine whether production of these proteins is dependent on the tannin content of their food.
Howler Monkeys (Alouatta palliata mexicana) Produce Tannin-Binding Salivary Proteins
TLDR
It is suggested that the continuous expression of TBSPs is part of a dietary strategy that enables howlers to consume diets with variable tannin contents, thus partly explaining their dietary flexibility.
Effect of condensed tannin ingestion in sheep and goat parotid saliva proteome.
TLDR
Although no new proteins appeared, quebracho tannin consumption increased saliva total protein concentration and produced changes in the proteome of both species, sheep and goats also presented species-specific differences in response to tANNin consumption.
Role of Tannin-Binding Salivary Proteins and Tannase-Producing Bacteria in the Acclimation of the Japanese Wood Mouse to Acorn Tannins
TLDR
The results indicate that wood mice can mitigate the negative effects of tannins by acclimation, and path analysis revealed that increased secretion of PRPs and abundance of Lactobacillus type of TPB might explain the acclimations to tannin.
Changes in mouse whole saliva soluble proteome induced by tannin-enriched diet
TLDR
Significant changes in the expression levels of the acidic mammalian chitinase precursor and in one of the 14 salivary α-amylase isoforms underscores the need to further investigate their role in tannin ingestion.
RESEARCH ARTICLE First Identification of Tannin-Binding Proteins in Saliva of Papio hamadryas
TLDR
The follow-up data on tannin-binding proteins present in salivary secretions from hamadryas baboons adds important knowledge to primate physiology and feeding ecology, in order to shed light on the establishment and development of food adaptations in primates.
Saliva of the graminivorous Theropithecus gelada lacks proline‐rich proteins and tannin‐binding capacity
TLDR
It is hypothesized that the amount of proline‐rich salivary proteins with tannin‐binding capacity is higher in baboons consuming a feed with high dicot/monocot rations, and the lack of such tannIn‐binding proteins in saliva would indicate a narrow dietary spectrum more restricted to monocots.

TLDR
There is evidence that at least proline-rich proteins act as a first line of defense against tannins, perhaps by precipitating tannin in food and preventing their absorption from the alimentary canal.

Binding affinity of hydrolyzable tannins to parotid saliva and to proline-rich proteins derived from it.
TLDR
No individual class of human salivary PRP appears to have an exclusive affinity for a particular type of hydrolyzable tannin.
Salivary proline-rich proteins in mammals: Roles in oral homeostasis and counteracting dietary tannin
TLDR
There was some point in omnivory at which selective pressure from nitrogen limitations became sufficiently great for the evolution of increased secretion level and diversification of PRPs for dealing with tannin, and if this hypothesis is correct, carnivorous mammals should secrete low levels ofPRPs for oral homeostasis, but should never secrete high levels, unless they are secondarily carnivorous.

Do Salivary Proline-Rich Proteins Counteract Dietary Hydrolyzable Tannin in Laboratory Rats?
TLDR
Production of PRPs increased the amount of PGG excreted intact in the feces but at the cost of diminishing apparent dry matter and nitrogen digestibility.
Tannin-binding proteins in saliva of deer and their absence in saliva of sheep and cattle
TLDR
The tannin-binding protein from deer saliva is a small glycoprotein containing large amounts of proline, glycine, and glutamate/glutamine, which is not closely related to the proline-rich salivary proteins found in rats and other nonruminant mammals.
