Genetic variations of the porcine PRKAG3 gene in Chinese indigenous pig breeds

Four missense substitutions (T30N, G52S, V199I and R200Q) in the porcine PRKAG3 gene were considered as the likely candidate loci affecting meat quality. In this study, the R200Q substitution was investigated in a sample of 62 individuals from Hampshire, Chinese Min and Erhualian pigs, and the genetic variations of T30N, G52S and V199I substitutions were detected in 1505 individuals from 21 Chinese indigenous breeds, 5 Western commercial pig breeds, and the wild pig. Allele 200R was fixed in Chinese Min and Erhualian pigs. Haplotypes II-QQ and IV-QQ were not observed in the Hampshire population, supporting the hypothesis that allele 200Q is tightly linked with allele 199V. Significant differences in allele frequencies of the three substitutions (T30N, G52S and V199I) between Chinese indigenous pigs and Western commercial pigs were observed. Obvious high frequencies of the "favorable" alleles 30T and 52G in terms of meat quality were detected in Chinese indigenous pigs, which are well known for high meat quality. However, the frequency of the "favorable" allele 199I, which was reported to have a greater effect on meat quality in comparison with 30T and 52G, was very low in all of the Chinese indigenous pigs except for the Min pig. The reasons accounting for this discrepancy remain to be addressed. The presence of the three substitutions in purebred Chinese Tibetan pigs indicates that the three substitutions were ancestral mutations. A novel A/G substitution at position 51 in exon 1 was identified. The results suggest that further studies are required to investigate the associations of these substitutions in the PRKAG3 gene with meat quality of Chinese indigenous pigs, and to uncover other polymorphisms in the PRKAG3 gene with potential effects on meat quality in Chinese indigenous pigs.     

猪CAST基因的遗传多态性及遗传效应分析

采用PCR—SSCP方法对猪cAST基因遗传多态性进行分析。并研究基因型与肉质性状和背膘厚的相关性。根据猪CAST基因的cDNA序列（M20160）设计7对引物。结果在F1／R1。F6／R6引物对扩增的片段上发现了多态性。并对纯合子进行测序。发现317位A—G突变。2042位G—C突变。基因型在不同猪种分布的多重比较结果表明。长白猪、大白猪和杜洛克猪与沂蒙黑猪和莱芜猪比较差异极显著（P〈0．01）。固定效应模型分析结果表明,嫩度及背膘厚基因型间差异显著（P〈0．05）,而pH值、温度及滴水损失基因型间差异不显著（P〉0．05）。最小二乘分析结果表明,不同猪种比较,屠宰12h和24h后肌肉温度、30min和1h后pH值及滴水损失差异显著（P〈0．05）;BBCC和BBDD单元型个体与其他单元型个体比较肌肉嫩度的差异显著（P〈0．01）。AACC和AADD单元型个体与其他单元型个体比较背膘厚的差异显著（P〈0．01）。因此,推测CAST基因对猪肉品质及背膘厚存在一定的影响。将CAST基因应用于猪育种过程中的标记辅助选择将可以改善猪肉品质。加快猪的育种进程。     

Association of PPARγ2 polymorphisms with carcass and meat quality traits in a Pietrain x Jinhua F2 population

The PPARγ2 gene is a key regulator of both proliferation and preadipocyte differentiation in mammals. Herein its genotype and allele frequencies were analyzed using PCR-SSCP in eight pig breeds (N = 416). Two kinds of polymorphisms of the PPARγ2 gene were detected, including a previously reported shift SNP A177G (Met59Val) in exon 1 and a novel silent mutation G876A in exon 5. The results revealed that European pig breeds carry a higher allele A frequency at the A177G locus and a fixed GG genotype at the G876A locus. Allele A at the G876A locus was only found in Jinhua pigs. The association between haplotype (A177G/G876A) and carcass and meat quality traits was analyzed in a Pietrain x Jinhua F2 population (N = 248). The PPARγ2 gene was found to be significantly associated with backfat thickness at the shoulder (p < 0.05), 6-7(th) ribs (p < 0.01), last rib (p < 0.01), gluteus medius (p <0.05) and ham weight (p < 0.01). Significant effects of different haplotypes on ham weight and backfat thickness at the 6-7(th) ribs, last rib, and gluteus medius were also observed.     

猪ACTA2基因的克隆、表达分析及其与生产性状的关联

为鉴定对猪生产性状有重要影响的新分子标记,文章采用电子克隆结合PCR方法获得了猪肌动蛋白α2(Actin alpha 2, ACTA2)基因编码区序列和部分基因组序列,建立了第2内含子C1554T替换的PCR-HinfⅠ- RFLP基因分型方法,在所检测的7个不同猪群中除大白和梅大群体外,其他群体中均是C等位基因频率高于T等位基因的频率。标记与性状关联分析发现ACTA2基因型与肩部背膘厚、臀部背膘厚、肥肉率、瘦肉率、股二头肌pH和肌内脂肪显著或极显著相关,TT基因型与CC基因型相比具有更高的瘦肉率以及更低的肥肉率和背膘厚。通过Real-time RT-PCR分析发现ACTA2在大白和梅山两个品种猪骨骼肌中的表达量都随着日龄的增加而降低,在各个阶段,梅山猪中的表达量都比大白猪中的表达量高。     

Single nucleotide polymorphisms in caprine calpastatin gene

The calpains and calpastatin (CAST) make up a major cytosolic proteolytic system, the calpain-calpastatin system, found in mammalian tissues. The relative levels of the components of the calpain-calpastatin system determine the extent of meat tenderization during postmortem storage. Calpastatin (CAST) is a protein inhibitor of the ubiquitous calcium-dependent proteases, μ-calpain, and m-calpain. Polymorphisms in the bovine, ovine and pig CAST gene have been associated with meat tenderness but little is known about how caprine CAST gene may affect goat meat quality traits. In this study we selected different parts of the CAST gene: (1) that have been previously reported to be polymorphic, intron 5 and 12 and 3’UTR; (2) first time explored (exon 3, 7 and 8 and part of intron 7 and 8) to investigate polymorphic status of caprine CAST gene. Using comparative sequencing ten novel SNPs located in exon 3 and intron 5, 7 and 8 were identified. Previously reported SNPs in intron 5, 3’UTR and intron 12 were absent. Sequence analysis revealed a non synonymous amino acid variation in exon 3, which would result in Lys/Arg substitution in the corresponding protein sequence. Considerable variation was detected in intronic regions. Twenty-four InDel were also recognized in intronic regions (15) and 3’UTR (9). All the sequences shared high homology with published bovine and ovine sequences. Three PCR-RFLP loci have been established for further analyzing genetic polymorphism in indigenous goats.     

Genetic Variation and Association of Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein-3 with Performance in Swine

Genetic variation of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 was analyzed in 17 pig breeds (14 native Chinese and 3 European). Using PCR-single strand conformation polymorphism, we found a polymorphism in intron 2, and this SNP was the combined mutation of G897T-G903A-C911T. The Chinese breeds carried a higher TAT/TAT genotype frequency (over 50%), except for Bamei (22%), Yujiang Black (0.0%), and Erhualian (10.0%); the European breeds had a higher GGC/GGC genotype frequency (Large White 1.67%, Landrace 13.89%, Duroc 0.0%). The allelic frequency of TAT in Chinese breeds was over 50%, except for Yujiang Black (12.5%); the allelic frequency of GGC was over 50% in all European breeds. The effect of genotype on 43 performance traits was investigated in one population (Lantang × Landrace). Pigs with the TAT/TAT genotype had higher B-point and C-point back-fat thickness than pigs with the GGC/GGC genotype. The TAT/TAT pigs also scored higher in meat color than the GGC/GGC pigs. These results implied that IGFBP-3 may affect meat quality and carcass traits.
