Prolactin (PRL) plays a crucial role in the initiation and maintenance of lactation in mammals. In this study, seven PCR fragments
representing most important functional domains of PRL gene were screened for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Chinese Holsteins by single-strand conformation polymorphisms
and amplicons sequencing, and their genetic effects on milk production traits were evaluated. A total of four SNPs, including
two in the promoter (−1043A>G and −402A>G), one in intron 1 (+2723C>T) and one in exon 4 (+8398G>A) were identified in PRL gene. Statistical results showed significant associations between the promoter genotypes and the milk performance traits
in Chinese Holsteins. Cows with genotype P1-GG showed higher milk yields (P < 0.01), while cows with genotype P1-AA showed higher fat contents (P < 0.01). Haplotype analysis of two SNPs in promoter region revealed that the Hap(AG) was significantly associated with increased milk yields and Hap(AA) was associated with increased fat contents (P < 0.01). This is the second study reporting SNPs in the 5′-regulatory region of PRL gene, which interfere with milk production traits. 相似文献

Variations in the growth hormone receptor (GHR) gene sequence are associated with performance traits in cattle. For example, the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) F279Y in transmembrane exon 8 has a strong association with milk yield. In this study, 32 previously unreported, putative novel SNPs (31 in the 5′ non‐coding region) were identified by resequencing ~19 kb of the GHR gene in genomic DNA from 22 cattle of multiple breeds. A population of 848 Holstein–Friesian AI sires was subsequently genotyped for the 32 putative novel SNPs and seven published SNPs (including F279Y, one in exon 1A promoter and five in exon 10). Associations between each segregating SNP and genetic merit for performance were quantified in the 848 Holstein–Friesians using weighted animal linear mixed models. Six of the published SNPs and seven of the novel SNPs were associated with at least one of the traits – milk yield, fat yield, protein yield, fat percentage, protein percentage, somatic cell score, calving interval, survival and growth and size traits. Even when the allelic substitution effect (P < 0.001) of F279Y was accounted for, the allelic substitution effect of one of the novel SNPs (GHR4.2) in the 5′ non‐coding region of GHR was associated with a lactation milk yield of 37.46 kg (P < 0.001). GHR4.2 and F279Y were not in linkage disequilibrium (r2 = 0.00, D’ = 0.04) in the 848 Holstein–Friesians, indicating that their association with milk yield was independent. 相似文献

The current study was designed to investigate the effects of the purH gene on chicken muscle inosine monophosphate (IMP) content. Muscle IMP content was measured in five chicken breeds. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected by PCR-SSCP and DNA sequencing. Two SNPs were detected, A/T substitution at position 8023 in exon 9, and T/C substitution at position 17446 in exon 16. The results indicated that only T17446C polymorphism was associated with IMP content. The haplotype effect was higher than the single genotype effect. We tentatively conclude that purH gene is a candidate locus or linked to a major gene that affects muscle IMP content. Haplotypes are superior to single genotypes as potential molecular markers for meat quality traits in chicken. 相似文献

A Single Nucleotide Polymorphism of Chicken Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase A Gene Associated with Fatness Traits 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Acetyl-CoA carboxylase α (ACCα) is a major rate-limiting enzyme in the biogenesis of long-chain fatty acids. It can catalyze the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA to form malonyl-CoA that plays a key role in the regulation of fatty acid metabolism. The objective of the present study was to investigate the associations of ACCα gene polymorphisms with chicken growth and body composition traits. The Northeast Agricultural University broiler lines divergently selected for abdominal fat content and the Northeast Agricultural University F2 Resource Population were used in the current study. Body weight and body composition traits were measured in the aforementioned two populations. A synonymous mutation was detected in the exon 19 region of ACCα gene, then polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was developed to genotype all the individuals derived from the aforementioned populations. Association analysis revealed that the polymorphism was associated with abdominal fat weight and percentage of abdominal fat in the two populations. The results suggested that ACCα gene could be a candidate locus or linked to a major gene that affects abdominal fat content in the chicken. 相似文献

PCR-RFLP was used to analyze the polymorphisms of MC4R, LEP, H-FABP genes in a swine breed composite (DIV2) and 4 swine breeds (Yorkshire, Landrace, Meishan, Bamei). The association study of these polymorphisms with several economic
traits was carried out on a DIV2 population. The results obtained showed that MC4R/TaqI genotype had an effect for average backfat thickness (P < 0.05) and lean meat percentage (P < 0.05). At locus LEP/HinfI animals of AA genotype had lower test daily gain than that of BB (P < 0.01) or AB genotype (P < 0.05). At the H-FABP/HaeIII locus lean meat percentage of the individuals with genotype DD were higher than that with genotype dd (P < 0.05). Linkage disequilibrium analysis among MC4R, LEP and H-FABP revealed that these genes were independent. This represented two or more genes that could be combined together within one
genotype in order to facilitate breeding for objective traits. In addition, a method allowing simultaneous detection of fragments
of MC4R and LEP gene was developed. 相似文献

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is considered as a key enzyme in the lipid deposition and metabolism in tissues. It is assumed to
be a major candidate gene for genetic markers in lipid deposition. Therefore, the polymorphisms of the LPL gene and associations
with carcass traits and viscera fat content were examined in 398 individuals from five yak (Bos grunniens) breeds using PCR–SSCP analysis and DNA sequencing. A novel nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-C→T (nt19913) was identified located
in exon 7 in the coding region of the LPL gene, which replacement was responsible for a Phe-to-Ser substitution at amino acid.
Two alleles (A and B) and three genotypes designed as AA, AB and BB were detected in the PCR products. The frequencies of
allele A were 0.7928, 0.7421, 0.7357, 0.6900 and 0.7083 for Tianzhu white yak (WY), Gannan yak (GY), Qinghai-Plateau yak (PY),
Xinjiang yak (XY) and Datong yak (DY), respectively. The SNP loci was in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium in five yak populations
(P > 0.05). Polymorphism of LPL gene was shown to be associated with carcass traits and lipid deposition. Least squares analysis
revealed that there was a significant effect on live-weight (LW) (P < 0.01), average daily weight gain (ADG) and carcass weight (P < 0.05). Individuals with genotype BB had lower mean values than those with genotype AA and AB for loin eye area and viscera
fat weight (% of LW) in 25–36 months (P < 0.05). The results indicated that LPL gene is a strong candidate gene that affects carcass traits and fat deposition in
yak. 相似文献

Interleukin-15 (IL-15) is a cytokine that has been proposed to modulate skeletal muscle and adipose tissue mass. In the present study, an F2 resource population of Gushi chickens crossed with Anka broilers was used to investigate the genetic effects of the chicken IL-15 gene. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (g.31224G>A and g.31266T>G) were identified in exon 5 of the IL-15 gene by means of polymerase chain reaction?Crestriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and DNA sequencing. Associations between the two SNPs and chicken fatness and muscle fiber traits were determined using linkage disequilibrium, haplotype construction, and association analysis. Both of the SNPs were associated with abdominal fat weight, leg muscle fiber diameter, and leg muscle fiber density (p?<?0.05). Haplotypes of the two linked SNPs were associated with abdominal fat weight, fat thickness under the skin, and leg muscle fiber diameter (p?<?0.05). The results suggested that the IL-15 gene might be associated with the causative mutation or the quantitative trait locus (QTL) controlling the fatness traits and muscle fiber traits in chickens. 相似文献

Solute carrier family 27 (fatty acid transporter), member 4 (SLC27A4) is a fatty acyl-CoA synthetase producing very long chain
fatty acid-CoA for lipid metabolic pathways, suggesting that the SLC27A4 gene is a potential candidate gene for traits related to fat deposition in animals. This study was conducted to sequence
the genomic region from exon 6 to 12 of porcine SLC27A4 and detect polymorphisms by comparative sequencing. In silico mapping assigned SLC27A4 gene between gene COQ4 (coenzyme Q4 homolog) and URM1 (ubiquitin related modifier 1 homolog) on pig chromosome 1q24-q2.12 where significant QTL affecting backfat depth had previously
been identified. Thirty six putative sites of variation were detected, of which 31 polymorphisms including 28 SNPs and 3 indels
were located in the intronic region, and 5 in the exonic regions. The g.1777G>A (EU703769) in intron 8 was confirmed by PCR-RFLP
using HpaII restriction enzyme and further genotyped in four Chinese native pig breeds (Meishan, Erhualian, Tongcheng and Qingping)
and three western meat-type pig breeds (Duroc, Large White and Landrace). Allele G was exclusively present in Tongcheng and Qingping pigs and predominant in the other pig populations analyzed. Significant
differences of backfat at rump, body weight at birth and average daily gain on weaning between the AG and GG genotype were observed in Landrace pig population (P < 0.05). 相似文献

The quantitative traits of mass and percentage of abdominal fat in chicken and various types of obesity in mammals are homologous
and functionally similar. Therefore, the genes involved in obesity development in humans and laboratory rodents as well as
those responsible for pig lard thickness could be involved in abdominal fat deposition in broilers. Expression of candidate
genes FABP1, FABP2, FABP3, HMGA1, MC4R, PPARG, PPARGC1A, POMC and PTPN1 was studied in fat, liver, colon, muscle, pituitary gland, and brain in chicken (broilers) using real-time PCR. Significant
difference in the HMGA1 gene expression in the liver of broiler chicken with high (3.5 ± 0.18%) and low (1.9 ± 0.56%) abdominal fat concentration
has been revealed. The expression of this gene was been shown to correlate with the amount (0.7, P ≤ 0.01) and mass (0.7, P ≤ 0.01) of abdominal fat. The PPARG gene expression in liver in the same chicken subsets was also significantly different. Correlation coefficients of the gene
expression with the abdominal fat amount and mass were respectively 0.55 (P ≤ 0.05) and 0.57 (P ≤ 0.01). Based on these results, we suggest that the HMGA1 and PPARG genes are involved in abdominal fat deposition. The search for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the HMGA and PPARG regulatory regions could facilitate identifying genetic markers for broiler breeding according to the mass and percentage
of abdominal fat. 相似文献

Quantitative trait loci for fat deposition and carcass traits have been identified in the vicinity of the gene encoding phosphodiesterase 1B (PDE1B) on bovine chromosome 5. Therefore, the PDE1B gene can be considered as a positional and functional candidate gene
for carcass traits in beef cattle. This study aimed to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PDE1B gene and
to evaluate their associations with carcass traits in Korean cattle. Eight SNPs, g.440T>G, g.17122A>G, g.17507A>C, g.17575A>G,
g.17607T>C, g.17609C>A, g.17692C>T, and g.17707C>G, were identified in the region ranged from exon 1 to intron 6. Five of
them were used for association analysis because of their availability of restriction fragment length polymorphisms. As a result,
g.17122A>G in intron 3 was significantly associated with backfat thickness (BFT), and g.17507A>C in exon 5 was associated
with longissimus dorsi muscle area (LMA, P < 0.05). Animals with the AG genotype of g.17122 had thicker BFT than those with the AA genotype. Animals with the AA or
AC genotype of g.17507A>C had larger LMA than those with the CC genotype. We suggested the PDE1B gene as a candidate gene
for carcass traits of beef cattle. Fine mapping would be required for application to marker-assisted selection. 相似文献

Association of IGF1 and KDM5A polymorphisms with performance, fatness and carcass traits in chickens
Clarissa Boschiero Erika C. Jorge Kerli Ninov Kátia Nones Millor Fernandes do Rosário Luiz Lehmann Coutinho Mônica Corrêa Ledur David W. Burt Ana Silvia A. M. T. Moura 《Journal of applied genetics》2013,54(1):103-112
Two functional and positional candidate genes were selected in a region of chicken chromosome 1 (GGA1), based on their biological roles, and also where several quantitative trait loci (QTL) have been mapped and associated with performance, fatness and carcass traits in chickens. The insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) gene has been associated with several physiological functions related to growth. The lysine (K)-specific demethylase 5A (KDM5A) gene participates in the epigenetic regulation of genes involved with the cell cycle. Our objective was to find associations of selected single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in these genes with performance, fatness and carcass traits in 165 F2 chickens from a resource population. In the IGF1 gene, 17 SNPs were detected, and in the KDM5A gene, nine SNPs were detected. IGF1 SNP c.47673G?>?A was associated with body weight and haematocrit percentage, and also with feed intake and percentages of abdominal fat and gizzard genotype × sex interactions. KDM5A SNP c.34208C?>?T genotype × sex interaction affected body weight, feed intake, percentages of abdominal fat (p?=?0.0001), carcass, gizzard and haematocrit. A strong association of the diplotype × sex interaction (p?<?0.0001) with abdominal fat was observed, and also associations with body weight, feed intake, percentages of carcass, drums and thighs, gizzard and haematocrit. Our findings suggest that the KDM5A gene might play an important role in the abdominal fat deposition in chickens. The IGF1 and KDM5A genes are strong candidates to explain the QTL mapped in this region of GGA1. 相似文献

Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a member of the collectin protein family that binds a broad range of microorganisms and activates
the lectin-complement pathway of innate immunity. MBL deficiency is associated with an increased risk for various infections
and arises from five polymorphisms in the promoter and first exon of the MBL gene in humans. In this study, three novel single-nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter region and two previously reported SNPs in exon 2 of the MBL1 gene were detected using PCR single-strand conformation polymorphism, restriction fragment length polymorphism, and DNA sequencing
in 537 cattle from three Chinese breeds. Analysis of the genotypes and haplotypes was used to investigate the polymorphisms
and their possible implications, especially their association with serum MBL-A levels, complement activity (CH50 and ACH50),
and milk production traits was investigated. The g.2651G>A SNP in exon 2 affected the serum MBL-A concentrations and the serum
CH50 values, whereas the g.−1330G>A SNP significantly affected CH50 and the somatic cell scores (SCSs). Statistical analysis
revealed that cows with the ATGGC/ACAAC combined genotype and those with the AAGGT/ACGGT combined genotype exhibited the lowest
and highest SCSs, respectively. Serum antibacterial activities were also conducted to verify the effect of the SNPs on resistance
to mastitis pathogens. Results of real-time PCR showed that the liver of cows with clinical mastitis exhibited a higher MBL1 expression compared with healthy ones (P < 0.05). Findings of this study indicate that the MBL1 gene possibly contributes to bacterial infection resistance and can be used as a molecular marker of milk production traits
to control mastitis. 相似文献

Fattiness is an important parameter to estimate meat quality, which has high heritability. In this experiment, F2 chickens derived from Broilers crossing to Silky were used to study the effect of extracellular fatty acid binding protein (EX-FABP) gene on abdominal fat accumulation. 1.6 kb of the 5′ region of the gene was amplified by six pairs of primers, and then single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected by the technique of single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and then confirmed by sequencing. There were four nucleotides variations found, A-G at-1807, C-A at -1805, T-C at -1011 and a C insertion at -1000 respectively. The result of least square analysis suggests that the birds with BB genotype defined by the second pair of primer have a higher abdominal fat weight and abdominal fat percentage than the birds with the other genotypes (AA and AB). It implied that EX-FABP gene could be a candidate locus or linked to a major gene to significantly affect abdominal fat traits in chicken. 相似文献
