Abstract Calpastatin is the specific inhibitor of the ubiquitous calcium‐dependent proteases μ‐calpain and m‐calpain. Enzyme assay data from sheep and cattle inversely correlates post‐mortem muscle calpastatin levels with ultimate meat tenderness. Genetic markers of meat quality may therefore be found linked to the calpastatin gene (CAST). A three‐allele system detected by polymerase chain reaction ‐ single strand conformational polymorphism (PCR‐SSCP) has been observed in the ovine CAST. The three allele amplimers have been fully nucleotide sequenced and their differences in terms of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) in the intron region of the amplimer are reported and compared to a consensus sequence of the orthologous region of the cattle CAST. A PCR‐RFLP for more rapid CAST genotyping of all three ovine alleles was also developed. 相似文献

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. 相似文献

Bovine calpastatin (CAST) gene polymorphisms have been associated with meat tenderness traits; however, little is known about how the CAST gene affects beef quality traits. In this study, 25 single nucleotide polymorphisms were detected in the CAST gene using polymerase chain reaction with single-strand conformation polymorphism and gene sequencing. Different preponderant genotypes were found at the corresponding gene locus. The E1-1, E1-2, and C3-1 loci were correlated with meat tenderness height and highly correlated with the fatty acid content and the amino acid content. The E4-2 locus was not correlated with meat tenderness, but it was correlated with cooking loss, brightness, and yellowness, among others. The CAST gene is a potential marker for these meat quality traits, but further research is required. 相似文献

The calpain gene family and its inhibitors have diverse effects, many related to protein turnover, which appear to affect a range of phenotypes such as diabetes, exercise-induced muscle injury, and pathological events associated with degenerative neural diseases in humans, fertility, longevity, and postmortem effects on meat tenderness in livestock species. The calpains are inhibited by calpastatin, which binds directly to calpain. Here we report the direct measurement of epistatic interactions of causative mutations for quantitative trait loci (QTL) at calpain 1 (CAPN1), located on chromosome 29, with causative mutations for QTL variation at calpastatin (CAST), located on chromosome 7, in cattle. First we identified potential causative mutations at CAST and then genotyped these along with putative causative mutations at CAPN1 in >1500 cattle of seven breeds. The maximum allele substitution effect on the phenotype of the CAPN1:c.947G>C single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) was 0.14 sigma(p) (P = 0.0003) and of the CAST:c.155C>T SNP was also 0.14 sigma(p) (P = 0.0011) when measured across breeds. We found significant epistasis between SNPs at CAPN1 and CAST in both taurine and zebu derived breeds. There were more additive x dominance components of epistasis than additive x additive and dominance x dominance components combined. A minority of breed comparisons did not show epistasis, suggesting that genetic variation at other genes may influence the degree of epistasis found in this system. 相似文献

Calpastatin (CAST) is a protein inhibitor that acts specifically on calpains and plays a regulatory role in postmortem beef
tenderization and muscle proteolysis. Polymorphisms in the bovine CAST gene have been associated with meat tenderness, but little is known about how the ovine CAST gene may affect sheep meat quality traits. In this study, we selected two parts of the ovine CAST gene that have been previously reported to be polymorphic (region 1—part of intron 5 and exon 6, and region 2—part of intron
12), to investigate haplotype diversity across an extended region of the ovine gene. First, we developed a simple and efficient
polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformational polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) method for genotyping region 2, which allowed
the detection of a novel allele as well as the three previously reported alleles. Next, we genotyped both regions 1 and 2
of the ovine CAST gene from a large number of sheep to determine the haplotypes present. Nine different haplotypes were found across this extended
region of the ovine CAST gene and four haplotypes were identified that suggested historical recombination events within this gene. Haplotypes are
typically more informative than single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for analyzing associations between genes and complex
production traits, such as meat tenderness, but the potential for intragenic recombination within the ovine CAST may make finding associations challenging. 相似文献

The objectives of this work were to study the segregation of single nucleotide polymorphisms of the calpain 1, large subunit ( CAPN1 ) and calpastatin ( CAST ) genes in Nellore ( Bos indicus ) and Nellore × Bos taurus beef cattle, as well as to evaluate their effects on meat traits. For this, 300 animals, including 114 Nellore, 67 Angus × Nellore, 44 Rubia Gallega × Nellore, 41 Canchim, 19 Brangus three-way crosses and 15 Braunvieh three-way crosses, were genotyped for the CAPN4751 [AF_248054.2:g.6545C>T (GenBank accession AF248054.2 )] and CAST/DdeI [AF_159246.1:g.2959A>G (GenBank accession AF159246.1 )] polymorphisms and phenotyped for Ribeye Area, Backfat Thickness, Intramuscular Fat, Shear Force (SF) and Myofibrillar Fragmentation Index (MFI). In relation to the CAPN4751 polymorphism, a frequency of 10.5% was observed for the C allele in the Nellore breed. In the total sample of studied animals, a significant association was found between genotypes and meat tenderness, assessed by SF ( P = 0.005) and MFI ( P = 0.008), with genotype CT being more favourable than TT. For the CAST/DdeI polymorphism, a frequency of 55.7% was found for the A allele in the Nellore breed. In the total sample, a significant association was observed between genotypes and meat tenderness – SF ( P = 0.004) and MFI ( P = 0.006), with genotype AA being more favourable than AG. The relationship between genotypes and aged meat tenderness in confluence with the distribution of favourable alleles shows great potential for application of the CAPN4751 and CAST/DdeI polymorphisms in the genetic improvement of the Nellore breed, whilst contributing to the validation, in this breed and in its crosses with B. taurus , of the association results previously described in the literature. 相似文献

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the calpain 1 (CAPN1) and calpastatin (CAST) genes were studied to determine their effects on meat tenderness in Bos taurus cattle. Strip loins (M. longissimus dorsi) were removed from cattle in four resource populations after slaughter (n = 1042), aged under controlled conditions until fixed times after rigor mortis, cooked and measured using a tenderometer. Animals were genotyped for the CAPN1 SNP c.947C>G (p.Ala316Gly; AF252504) and for the CAST SNP c.2959A>G (AF159246). Frequencies of CAPN1 C alleles ranged from 23% to 68%, and CAST A alleles from 84% to 99.5%. From all data combined, the CAPN1 CC genotype (compared with the GG genotype) was associated with a 20.1 +/- 1.7% reduced average shear force at intermediate stages of ageing (P < 0.001) and with a 9.5 +/- 1.3% reduction near ultimate tenderness (P < 0.001). The heterozygote was intermediate. For CAST, corresponding values for AA compared with AG genotypes were reductions of 8.6 +/- 2.0% and 5.1 +/- 1.6% respectively (both P < 0.001), but there were too few GG genotypes for comparison. There were small interactions between the CAPN1 and CAST genotypes. For the CAPN1 and CAST genotypes combined, the maximal genotype effect in average shear force was 25.7 +/- 5.5% (P < 0.001) at intermediate stages and 15.2 +/- 4.8% near ultimate tenderness (P < 0.01). 相似文献

Body measurement and meat quality traits which play important roles in the assessment of productivity and economy in cattle were influenced by genes and environmental factors. Latest studies showed that LYR motif containing 1 (LYRM1) may be involved in influencing fatness deposition in animals. The objective of this study was to detect bovine LYRM1 gene polymorphism and analyze its association with body measurement and meat quality traits of cattle. Blood samples were taken from a total of 404 Qinchuan cattle aged from 18–24 months. Created restriction site-polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (CRS-PCR–RFLP) and DNA sequencing were used to find out LYRM1 single polymorphism nucleotide (SNPs). Sequence analysis of LYRM1 gene revealed two SNPs (g.165 C > A, g.193 A > G) in 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR) of exon 3. And g.165 C > A showed two genotypes namely AC and CC while g.193 A > G showed three genotypes: AA, AG and GG. Analysis results showed that there were significant associations between polymorphism of these two and body measurement and meat quality traits in Qinchuan cattle population. Based on the results obtained from this study, it is inferred that LYRM1 gene may have potential effects on body measurement and meat quality traits in Qinchuan cattle population and could be used for marker-assisted selection. 相似文献

Susceptibility to scrapie is primarily controlled by polymorphisms in the ovine prion protein gene (PRNP). Here, we report a novel ovine exon three PRNP polymorphism (SNP G346C; P116), its association with the ovine ARQ allele (P116A136R154Q171), and two new genotypes (PARQ/ARR; PARQ/ARQ) for the St. Croix White (SCW) breed and a related composite (CMP) breed developed for meat production. The (P116) polymorphism occurs between the N-terminal cleavage site and the hydrophobic region of the ovine prion protein, a region which exhibits extreme conservation across mammalian taxa. The relatively high frequency (0.75) of resistant ARR alleles and the absence of ARQ alleles for the SCW ewes used as breeding stock for CMP resulted in significant genic differentiation (P = 0.0123; S.E. = 0.00113). Additionally, the majority of the SCW (66.7%) and CMP (65.4%) sampled possessed genotypes considered resistant or nearly resistant to scrapie and experimental BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy. 相似文献

Three polymorphisms were identified in a 1·6-kb fragment of the porcine calpastatin (CAST) gene and these polymorphisms were used for genetic linkage mapping. Linkage analysis revealed significant linkage of CAST to five microsatellites previously mapped to porcine chromosome 2; these microsatellites were S0010, S0226, Sw14, Sw395 and Sw776. A somatic cell hybrid panel was used to determine the chromosomal localization of CAST and the microsatellites S0091, S0226 and Sw395. All of these were localized to the region 2q2·1–q2·4. 相似文献

Qualitative trait loci (QTL) for growth and meat quality traits in cattle (Bos taurus) have been previously mapped to three chromosome regions, 0 to 30, 55 to 70, and 70 to 80 cM on chromosome 5. We evaluated the allele frequencies and gene-specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of bovine myogenic factor 5 (MyF-5) in the QTL regions and their associations with live weight and meat characteristics in indigenous Chinese cattle breeds. PCR-SSCP methodology showed a T>A mutation at 526 bp. Least square analysis revealed a significant association of this SNP with backfat thickness and meat tenderness (P < 0.05), while no significant association was found with live weight, loin eye height, loin eye area, rib area, or water holding capacity. Allele frequencies of MyF-5-A/B in the five breeds were 0.760/0.239, 0.752/0.247, 0.629/0.370, 0.715/0.284, and 0.750/0.250, for JiaXian red, Luxi, Nanyang, Qinchuan, and XiaNan crossbreed, respectively. The genotype distributions for these alleles in two of the Chinese cattle breeds (Luxi and Qinchuan) were not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P < 0.05); while those for the other three breeds (JiaXian red, Nanyang, and XiaNan) were in agreement with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P > 0.05). The genotypic frequencies among all five cattle breeds showed moderate diversity (0.25 < polymorphism information content < 0.5). Based on our findings, we suggest that the MyF-5 gene influences back fat thickness and meat tenderness in Chinese Bos taurus. This SNP could be useful for marker-assisted selection for meat quality traits in these cattle. 相似文献

In order to evaluate the genotype of the calpastatin (CAST) gene and its relationship to muscle histology and other post mortem traits in the Jinhua × Piétrain F2 pig family, 158 barrows and gilts were electrically stunned and exsanguinated. Both blood and muscle samples were collected, and both post mortem traits and meat qualities were recorded. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis, the periodic acid Schiff reaction (PAS) and myosin heavy-chain immunohistochemistry were employed to explore the relationship between genotype and muscle histology. Based on PAS reactivity, muscle fibres can be classified into three types: PAS (-), PAS (+) and PAS (++). Myosin heavy-chain immunohistochemistry can differentiate muscle fibres into either slow or fast fibres; the proportion of slow and fast fibres were 6% and 94%, respectively. When the amplification products of the CAST gene were digested with MspI, HinfI and RsaI, two different cleavage patterns could be discriminated from the endonuclease map detected using each enzyme. The results showed that the polymorphisms detected using these three endonucleases are identical. Only three genotypes (AA/CC/EE, AB/CD/EF and BB/DD/FF) were distinguished. Their frequencies were 0.1835, 0.5823 and 0.2342, respectively. Different genotypes had significant association with area and pH45m value of loin muscle, while showing no significant association with the water-holding capacity and conductivity of loin muscle. The results also revealed that the genotypes had a significant correlation with diameter, area, circularity and the aspect ratio of muscle fibres. It was also presented that the genotypes significantly correlated with the percentage of intramuscular connective tissue. 相似文献

The β3-adrenergic receptor (ADRB3), a G-protein coupled receptor, plays a major role in energy metabolism and regulation of lipolysis and homeostasis. We detect the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variation in full-length sequence of ovine ADRB3 gene in 12 domestic sheep populations within four types by polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism and sequencing to reveal the breed difference. Twenty-two SNPs, 12 of which in the exon 1 and ten in the intron, were detected, and 12 new exonic and four new intronic SNPs were found. Most SNPs presented in Shanxi Dam Line and least ones in Dorset. The average SNP number in both meat and dual purpose for meat and wool breeds was significantly higher than general and dual purpose breeds for wool and meat. Frequency of each SNP in studied breeds or types was different. The 18C Del and 1617T Ins majorly existed in dual purpose breeds for wool and meat. The 25A Del, 119C>G and 130C>T were mostly found in the meat and dual purpose for meat and wool breeds. The 1764C>A more frequently presented in meat than in other types. The majority of variations came from within the populations as suggested by analysis of molecular variance. Close relationship presented among the Chinese and western breeds, respectively. In conclusion, SNPs of ovine ADRB3 gene can reflect the breed difference and within- and between-population variations, and to a great extent, the breed relationship. 相似文献

The objective of this research were to detect bovine Dickkopf 2 (DKK2) gene polymorphism and analyze their associations with body measurement traits (BMT) and meat quality traits (MQT) of animals. Blood samples were taken from a total of 541 Qinchuan cattle aged from 18 to 24 months. Polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) was employed to find out DKK2 single-polymorphism nucleotide (SNPs) and to explore their possible association with BMT and MQT. Sequence analysis of DKK2 gene revealed 2 SNPs (C29 T and A169C) in 5′ untranslated region (5′UTR) of exon 1.C29T and A164T SNPs are both synonymous mutation, which showed 2 genotypes namely (CC, CT) and (AA and AC), respectively. Association analysis of polymorphism with body measurement and meat quality traits at the two locus showed that there were significant effects on CT, BL, RL, PBW, BFT, LMA, and IFC. These results suggest that the DKK2 gene might have potential effects on BMT and MQT in Qinchuan cattle population and could be used for marker-assisted selection. 相似文献

The calpain system originally comprised molecules: two Ca2+-dependent proteases, mu-calpain and m-calpain, and a third polypeptide, calpastatin, whose only known function is to inhibit the two calpains. This proteolytic system plays a key role in the tenderisation process that occurs during post-mortem storage of meat under refrigerated conditioning. Their polymorphism is examined from the point of view of their effect on corresponding production traits. The calpain genes are investigated as potential candidate genes for a quantitative trait locus (QTL) affecting meat tenderness. In this study a new single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) was found within intron 14 of the bovine CAPN1 gene, being transition C --> T at position 4685 nt (consensus sequence - GenBank No. AF 248054), as this mutation creates a new FokI restriction site detected with PCR-RFLP analysis. This sequence fragment of the SNP position has already been deposited in the GenBank database under accession No. AY639597. The RFLP-FokI polymorphism was studied in 141 bulls of seven breeds, including the native Polish Red (PR, preserved), and Polish Black-and White (BW) breed. The frequency of alleles T and C varied between the breeds considered, the mean reaching 0.38 and 0.62, respectively. Associations between CAPN1/FokI gene polymorphism and meat production traits were studied in BW (n = 84) young bulls. In the animals of the TT genotype the lean share in valuable cuts (%) was found more favourable than in CC animals. 相似文献
