Effect of genetic variation of CEBPA gene on body measurement and carcass traits of Qinchuan cattle

In our study, genetic variation in coding region of cattle CCAAT enhancer binding protein alpha(namely CEBPA)gene was detected by PCR-RFLP and DNA sequencing methods in 215 individuals from Qinchuan cattle breed. Two haplotypes (A and B) and three observed genotypes (AA, AB, and BB) were detected. The result of DNA sequence showed one mutation by comparisons with NC_007316. The mutation at nt963 (T>G) were located in coding region of the CEBPA gene. Associations between the CEBPA gene genetic variation and the carcass traits were revealed in Qinchuan cattle. Least squares analysis revealed a significant statistical effect of the CEBPA gene different genotypes on slaughter weight and carcass weight in Qinchuan cattle. Individuals with BB genotype showed higher slaughter weight and carcass weight than individuals with AA and AB genotypes. Therefore, these results suggest that the CEBPA gene is a strong candidate gene that affects carcass traits in Qinchuan cattle.     

IGFBP3基因多态性与秦川牛部分屠宰性状的相关性 Polymorphisms of Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 3 Gene and Its Associations with Several Carcass Traits in Qinchuan Cattle

以IGFBP3基因作为秦川牛（Bos taurus）部分屠宰指标的侯选基因,在对60头秦川牛的IGFBP3基因进行PCR-RFLP和序列分析的基础上,对秦川牛群体中IGFBP3基因座等位基因和基因型频率的分布及其与秦川牛部分屠宰性状的关系进行了分析。结果发现,在秦川牛群体中,651 bp的PCR 产物经过限制性内切酶HaeIII消化后,表现出3种基因型,其中等位基因A、B及3种基因型AA、AB、BB的频率分别为0.84、0.16和070、0.28、0.02。经序列分析发现,第299位的C→A颠换（GGCC变成了GGAC）导致了1个HaeIII限制性酶切位点的丢失而产生了该基因座多态性。在所研究的群体中,该多态基因座处于Hardy-Weinberg平衡状态（P＞005）。对13头24月龄秦川牛进行屠宰分析,发现不同基因型对秦川牛部分屠宰指标有一定影响,AA、AB及BB型个体的屠宰率、净肉率及西冷、牛柳、眼肉和嫩肩肉的产率逐渐降低,但差异不显著（P＞0.05）;AA型个体的眼肌面积大于BB型个体（P＜0.05）,AB型和BB型个体胴体脂肪含量高于AA型个体（P＜0.01）。 Abstract:DNA samples from 60 Qinchuan cattle (Bos taurus) were analyzed with PCR-RFLPs and sequencing for insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) gene.Fragments of 651 bp were amplified with two primers and the products of PCR were digested with restriction endonuclease HaeIII.The produced fragments showed three genotypes,namely AA,AB and BB after electrophoresis.Frequencies of the genotype AA,AB,BB and allele A,B were 0.7,0.28,0.02,and 0.84,0.16,respectively.Sequence analysis showed that a transversion of C→A at 299 nt resulted in loss of the cleaved site of restriction endonuclease HaeIII and produced this polymorphism.This polymorphic locus of IGFBP3 gene was at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P＞0.05).The genotypes of AA,AB,BB slightly affected several slaughter and carcass traits of Qinchuan cattle.Dressing percentage,net meat percentage,striplion percentage,tenderloin percentage,ribeye percentage and tender shoulder percentage were decreased with the genotypes of AA,AB and BB in Qinchuan cattle,but it was not significant (P＞0.05).Average ribeye area in individuals of AA genotype was significantly higher than that in individuals of BB genotype (P＜0.05),and beef fat content in individuals of genotype AB and BB was significantly higher than that in individuals of AA genotype (P＜0.01).

A novel 18-bp deletion mutation of the AMPD1 gene affects carcass traits in Qinchuan cattle

The objectives of the present study were focused on detecting deletion mutation in bovine AMPD1 gene, and analyzing its effect on body measurement and carcass traits in Qinchuan cattle by using DNA sequencing and agarose electrophoresis methods. The 198-bp PCR products of AMPD1 gene exhibited three genotypes and two alleles were revealed: A and B. The frequencies of genotype AA/AB/BB in Qinchuan populations was 0.7163, 0.2233 and 0.0605. The χ²-test analysis demonstrated that the breed was not in agreement with Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (P < 0.05). The association of the 18-bp deletion mutation of AMPD1 gene with body measurement and carcass traits of Qinchuan cattle were analyzed. The cattle with AA genotype had slaughter weight and carcass weight than those with genotype AB (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05). These results suggest that the 18-bp deletion mutation may influence the carcass traits in Qinchuan cattle.     

A potential association between the BM 1500 microsatellite and fat deposition in beef cattle

The obese gene was hypothesized as a candidate gene for fat characteristics in beef cattle. The BM 1500 microsatellite, near the obese gene, was characterized in 158 purebred beef bulls for which carcass trait information was available. Four breeds were included in the analyses—Angus, Charolais, Hereford, and Simmental. Four alleles were found. Lengths were approximately 138, 147, 149, and 140 bp with genotypic frequencies of 0.47, 0.44, 0.09, and 0.003 respectively. The carcass traits %rib fat, %rib lean, average fat, and grade fat were found to be significantly associated with the different alleles. The presence of the 138-bp allele in the genotype of an animal is correlated with higher levels of fat, whereas the 147-bp allele has the opposite effect. The 149-bp allele was found in low numbers, and a homozygote was never identified. Hereford and Angus bulls had the greatest frequencies of 138-bp alleles (Hereford = 0.57, Angus = 0.59), while Charolais and Simmental had a greater proportion of 147-bp alleles (Charolais = 0.54, Simmental = 0.58). This information may aid cattle producers in selecting cattle for markets that differ in the amount of fat required. Received: 27 October 1997 / Accepted: 23 January 1998

Association between a single nucleotide polymorphism in the bovine chemerin gene and carcass traits in Qinchuan cattle

Qinchuan is a red or yellow draft and beef breed in China. In order to identify a predictor of carcass traits on the basis of associations between carcass traits and gene polymorphism, variation in the bovine chemerin gene was investigated using PCR-single-strand conformational polymorphism and DNA sequencing. An SNP of A868G located in exon 2 of the Bos taurus chemerin gene was detected in 716 samples of six breeds (Jiaxian red, Luxi, Nan yang, Qinchuan, Simmental and Luxi crossbred steers, and Xia'nan), all in China, and three genotypes (AA, AG and GG) were found. Based on the χ(2) test, the AA/AG/GG genotype frequencies of all six breeds were found to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. A possible association of A868G with some carcass traits was investigated in 106 Qinchuan cattle. Animals with the AG genotype were found to have significantly lower mean loin eye area and meat tenderness compared to those with the AA and GG genotypes. However, there was no significant association between any individual haplotype and backfat thickness, water holding capacity or marbling score. We suggest that A868G could be used as a molecular marker in marker-assisted selection for carcass traits.

利用PCR-SSCP技术检测了344头中国荷斯坦牛Nramp1基因exon 11的基因多态性, 并分析了其不同基因型与乳房炎及产奶量性状的关系。结果表明: 实验群体发现3种基因型AA、AB、BB, 其中A等位基因为优势等位基因, 等位基因频率为0.767, 而B等位基因频率则为0.233。经χ2适合性检验, 群体处于Hardy-Weinberg平衡状态(P>0.05)。测序结果显示: 扩增片段分别在200 bp(C/G)和254 bp(T/G)存在碱基突变, 并导致了氨基酸改变, 分别为丙氨酸替换为脯氨酸(Ala356Pro)、亮氨基酸替换为蛋氨酸(Leu374Met)。通过构建最小二乘线性模型, 进行Nramp1基因多态性与产奶量、体细胞评分(SCS)的相关性分析表明, AA型个体的SCS最小二乘均值显著低于BB﹑AB型(P<0.05), 而AA型﹑AB个体的产奶量最小二乘均值显著高于BB型(P<0.01, P<0.05), AA基因型可作为乳房炎抗性的优良基因型。因此, 可将Nramp1作为奶牛乳房炎候选基因应用于分子标记辅助选择育种。
