Leucine aminopeptidase 3 (LAP3) is an aminopeptidase which catalyses the removal of N-terminal amino acids and is involved in protein maturation and degradation. In this study, we detected the polymorphisms of LAP3 gene by polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and DNA sequencing methods in 916 individuals from three Chinese cattle breeds including Chinese Holstein, Luxi Yellow and Bohai Black. One novel single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (g.24564G>A ss196003366) and four previously deposited SNPs in the GenBank database (g.24794T>G, g.24803T>C, g.24846T>C, g.25415T>C) were detected. Three of the SNPs (g.24794T>G, g.24803T>C, g.24846T>C) were firstly found to be linked completely and regarded as a SNP g.24794M>N by PCR-SSCP and DNA sequencing in the tested breeds. The allelic frequencies and genetic indices of the SNPs were different in three Chinese cattle populations. The SNPs and their genetic effects on milk production traits in Chinese Holsteins were evaluated. Least squares analysis showed that cows with genotype MM had higher fat percentage and protein percentage than genotype NN (P<0.05); and the cows with g.25415T>C-CC genotype had higher protein rate than ones with TT genotype (P<0.05). In addition, eight haplotypes and 23 combined genotypes were identified based on the nine genotypes and the association between combined genotypes and milk production traits were analyzed. Statistic results showed that the cows with genotype combination MAT/MGC have higher protein and fat rate and lower SCS. Our finding demonstrated that the LAP3 gene possibly contributed to conducting association analysis and can be used as molecular marker in milk production traits and other performance for animal breeding. 相似文献

The apolipoprotein E (ApoE) gene is an important component of plasma lipoprotein, and Fas apoptosis inhibitory molecule (FAIM) is a novel anti-apoptotic gene. In this study, we researched and discussed seven genes in eight different tissues in Qinchuan cattle by quantitative Real-time PCR. The result of analysis showed that ApoE and FAIM 2 genes had a correlation with muscle and fat. PCR–RFLP was applied to analyze the genetic variations of the ApoE and FAIM 2 genes and verify the effect on growth and carcass traits in a total of 365 Qinchuan cattles. The result of haplotype analysis showed that nine different haplotypes were identified among the four SNPs in ApoE and FAIM 2 genes. The statistical analyses indicated that the four SNPs were significant association with growth and carcass traits (P < 0.05, N = 365); and the four SNPs were significant association between nine combined genotypes of candidate genes and growth and carcass traits. Taken together, our results provide the evidence that polymorphisms in candidate genes are associated with growth and carcass traits in Qinchuan cattle, and may be used as a possible candidate for marker-assisted selection and management in beef cattle breeding program. 相似文献

奶牛乳铁蛋白基因5’侧翼区遗传多态性及其与乳腺炎关联性分析 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
牛乳铁蛋白(Lactoferrin,LF)是保护乳腺组织的防御因子之一,是具有多种功能的糖蛋白,关于牛LF基因的多态性研究的报道较多,但其多态性与奶牛乳腺炎相关性的研究较少,文章采用PCR-RFLP、CRS-PCR对268头中国荷斯坦牛LF基因启动子区的-926(G/A)、-915(T/G)、-478(/G)、+72(T/C)突变进行基因型分型,应用最小二乘线性模型分析LF基因多态性与体细胞评分(Somatic cell score,SCS)的相关性,结果表明,新发现+72(T/C)和-478(/G)对SCS有显著影响,而其他两个位点对SCS影响不显著(P>0.05),+72(T/C)的AB基因型是优良基因型,其个体的SCS值均显著低于AA型(P<0.01),BB型个体(P<0.05).-478(/G)位点的C等位基因是优良的等位基因,CC基因型个体的SCS值极显著低于CD、DD基因型个体(P<0.01).因此,LF基因+72(T/C)的AB基因型和-478(/G)位点的CC基因型均是奶牛乳腺炎抗性的优良基因型,可作为分子标记应用于奶牛乳腺炎抗性筛选. 相似文献

The lactoferrin protein possesses antimicrobial and antiviral activities. It is also involved in the modulation of the immune response. In a normal healthy individual, lactoferrin plays a role in the front-line host defense against infection and in immune and inflammatory responses. Whether genomic variations, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), have an effect on the structure and function of lactoferrin protein and whether these variations contribute to the different susceptibility of individuals in response to environmental insults are interesting health-related issues. In this study, the lactoferrin gene was resequenced as part of the Environmental Genome Project of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, which operates within the National Institutes of Health. Ninety-one healthy donors of different ethnicities were used to establish common SNPs in the exons of the lactoferrin gene in the general population. The data will serve as a basis from which study the association of lactoferrin polymorphism and disease. 相似文献

Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a congenital, heterogeneous disorder, characterized by the absence of intestinal ganglion cells. Recent advances show that the RET gene is a major locus involved in the pathogenesis of HSCR. The aim of this study was to analyse if the HSCR phenotype in the Polish population is associated with the presence of polymorphisms in exons 2, 3, 7, 11, 13, 14 and 15 of the RET gene. Molecular results were compared with clinical and long-term follow-up data in 70 Polish patients with HSCR (84.3% with a short segment and 15.7% with a long segment of aganglionic gut). Single-nucleotide polymorphisms were analysed by using the minisequencing SNaPshot multiplex method. The 135G>A polymorphism in RET exon 2 was overrepresented in HSCR patients, compared with a healthy control group. Moreover, the 135G>A variant was shown to be associated with the severe HSCR phenotype. Two other polymorphisms, 2071G>A in exon 11 and 2712C>G in exon 15, were underrepresented in the patients. The results confirm that these RET polymorphisms play a role in the aetiology of HSCR. 相似文献

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL), involved in the metabolism and transport of lipids, regulate energy balance, fat deposition and growth traits. The objective of this study was to investigate the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of LPL gene and to determine their associations between these polymorphisms and growth traits in Xiangxi cattle breed. In this study, six novel SNPs (C355157T, T355169C, T355186G, A355210G, T355348A and T355420C) and one reported SNP (A355427T, has been recorded in dbSNP, ID rs110590698) were detected using polymerase chain reaction and DNA sequencing method. Genotyping and genetic diversity analysis were performed in 240 Xiangxi cattle on the basis of sequence alignment, which indicated that five SNPs (C355157T, 355186G, T355348A, T355420C, A355427T) were in abundant genetic diversity, and the other two SNPs (T355169C and TA355210G) were in low genetic diversity. Linkage disequilibrium analysis showed that 18 different haplotypes were identified in these animals. Moreover, the results of the association between LPL gene polymorphisms and growth traits indicated that the individuals with H1H1 haplotype combination had higher BW and HG than those with other haplotype combinations (P?<?0.05). The animals with CC genotype maintain higher mean values for BW than those with the CT and TT genotypes (P?<?0.05) at T355420C locus. The animals with the AA genotype have lower mean values for WH, BL, HG and BW than those with the AT and TT genotypes at A355427T locus (P?<?0.05). The results suggested that the SNPs of the LPL gene might be useful genetic markers for growth traits in the bovine reproduction and breeding. 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

Single nucleotide polymorphisms are the most important and basic form of variation in the genome, and they are responsible for genetic effects that produce susceptibility to most autoimmune diseases. The rapid development of databases containing very large numbers of single nucleotide polymorphisms, and the characterization of haplotypes and patterns of linkage disequilibrium throughout the genome, provide a unique opportunity to advance association strategies in common disease rapidly over the next few years. Only the careful use of these strategies and a clear understanding of their statistical limits will allow novel genetic determinants for many of the common autoimmune diseases to be determined. 相似文献

Background
To better understand the genetic determination of udder health, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on a population of 2354 German Holstein bulls for which daughter yield deviations (DYD) for somatic cell score (SCS) were available. For this study, we used genetic information of 44 576 informative single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 11 725 inferred haplotype blocks.Results
When accounting for the sub-structure of the analyzed population, 16 SNPs and 10 haplotypes in six genomic regions were significant at the Bonferroni threshold of P ≤ 1.14 × 10-6. The size of the identified regions ranged from 0.05 to 5.62 Mb. Genomic regions on chromosomes 5, 6, 18 and 19 coincided with known QTL affecting SCS, while additional genomic regions were found on chromosomes 13 and X. Of particular interest is the region on chromosome 6 between 85 and 88 Mb, where QTL for mastitis traits and significant SNPs for SCS in different Holstein populations coincide with our results. In all identified regions, except for the region on chromosome X, significant SNPs were present in significant haplotypes. The minor alleles of identified SNPs on chromosomes 18 and 19, and the major alleles of SNPs on chromosomes 6 and X were favorable for a lower SCS. Differences in somatic cell count (SCC) between alternative SNP alleles reached 14 000 cells/mL.Conclusions
The results support the polygenic nature of the genetic determination of SCS, confirm the importance of previously reported QTL, and provide evidence for the segregation of additional QTL for SCS in Holstein cattle. The small size of the regions identified here will facilitate the search for causal genetic variations that affect gene functions. 相似文献11.

Bovine lactoferrin (LTF) is a multifunctional small glycoprotein found in milk acting mainly as a defense factor in the mammary gland. Many polymorphisms have been found in the bovine LTF gene but almost none were considered as genetic markers of production traits in dairy cattle. In this study, the promoter fragment of LTF gene containing mutation (G/C) in position +32 has been amplified by PCR followed by genotyping by the SSCP and RFLP method. 358 Polish Holstein-Friesian cows were screened, giving the following frequency of genotypes: 0.628, 0.313 and 0.059 for GG, GC and CC, respectively. GLM (General Linear Model) analysis was applied to evaluate the associations of lactoferrin with milk performance traits, including SCC - somatic cell count. It was found that CC cows show significantly higher (P < or = 0.01) protein content in milk in comparison with GG cows. The values of other milk performance traits were also higher but at non-significant levels. SCC in milk was the lowest in CC cows, but also at a non-significant level. 相似文献

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in exons 13, 15 and 16 of equine transferrin for common, rare and mutant variants were investigated. Compared with previous work a further 13 SNPs have been identified, allowing for the two previously identified clades to be subdivided into 11 groups. A combination of one or more of eight SNPs can be used to classify the equine variants into these 11 groups, since most are co-inherited. Putative sites of glycosylation in exons 13 and 16 showed no polymorphism, suggesting that presence or absence of sugar moieties does not lead to electrophoretic variation between the variants. Using the 26 SNPs currently identified in transferrin it is still not possible to differentiate variants F1 from F2, or D from H2, which represent 75% of the variants occurring in Thoroughbred equine population. This suggests that further SNPs exist in equine transferrin. The significance of the high level of variation in exon 15 is discussed. 相似文献

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

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the coding and untranslated regions of heat shock 70 kDa protein 1A (HSP70A1A), an inducible molecular chaperone that is responsible for cellular protection against heat stress, have been reported as being associated with heat tolerance. A fragment of the HSP70A1A gene was amplified in Chinese Holstein cattle and eight novel mutations were found. We performed comprehensive linkage disequilibrium (LD) and haplotype analyses of the eight SNPs of the HSP70A1A gene and examined their involvement in heat resistance in 600 Chinese Holstein cattle. Our results revealed the presence of significant differences between individuals carrying haplotype 1 and those without haplotype 1 for most of the heat-tolerance traits. Haplotype 1 increased the risk of heat stress; however, association analysis of its combination with haplotype 2 showed the lowest rectal temperature and red blood cell K+ level, moderate respiratory rate, and the highest red blood cell NKA level, suggesting a heterozygote advantage in the penetration of the phenotype. Protein expression levels in white blood cells among haplotype combinations further confirmed the hypothesis that heterozygotes for haplotypes 1 and 2 are more sensitive to heat stress. We presume that these mutations may be useful in the future as molecular genetic markers to assist selection for heat tolerance in cattle. 相似文献

Genetic polymorphism of the prolactin receptor (PRLR) gene was detected by PCR-SSCP and DNA sequencing methods in 665 individuals from five Chinese cattle breeds. The results
showed that at the P1 locus, three observed genotypes (AA, AB and BB), two linked SNPs (G1267A and T1268C), and one missense mutation (S18N) within a putative signal peptide were determined.
The frequencies of haplotypes A and B in the five breeds were 0.596–0.802 and 0.198–0.404, respectively. Polymorphism of the PRLR gene was shown to be significantly associated with growth traits in the Nanyang breed. Individuals with genotype BB had greater hucklebone width, body weight and average daily gain than those with genotype AA at 6 months old (P < 0.01), as well as better body height, body length and heart girth when 6 months (P < 0.05). This study revealed for the first time that the PRLR gene is a promising candidate gene that affects growth traits in cattle. 相似文献

Emphasis on livestock genetic improvement in the past decades has led to commercialization of different breeds of livestock species. Breed validation has become increasingly important to assess the safety and authenticity of livestock products in global and domestic markets. The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of breed-specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in discriminating between Holstein and Jersey dairy cattle breeds. Two separate resource populations were used, including a reference population consisting of 498 Holstein and 83 Jersey bull DNA samples, and a validation population consisting of 260 Holstein and 34 Jersey cow DNA samples. Five Jersey-specific and four Holstein-specific SNPs were identified and genotyped on the reference and validation resource populations. The reference population was used to validate the breed-specific SNPs used in this study and to predict the allocation efficiencies and misclassification probabilities of different combinations of SNPs. Individual animals in the validation population were allocated to either breed based on the presence of breed-specific alleles. It was found that any combination of three breed-specific SNPs had, on average, high breed allocation efficiency of >95% and low misclassification probability of <5%. In conclusion, this study demonstrates a simple, yet effective, method of using breed-specific SNPs to discriminate between Jersey and Holstein cattle breeds. 相似文献

We assessed SLC27A1, a candidate gene for milk production traits in Chinese Holstein cattle. DNA was extracted from the blood of 48 top Chinese Holstein Cattle selected according to phenotypic character and mixed into DNA pool for SNP detection. We tested blood samples of these cattle for SNPs in exon 3 and the 3'-flanking region of the SLC27A1 gene by using polymerase chain reaction-single-stranded conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and DNA sequencing. We found 2 polymorphic sites: 112T>C, a synonymous mutation, in exon 3 (SNP(1)), and 64G>A in the 3'-UTR (SNP(2)). We also determined the genotypes of 330 Chinese Holstein cattle by using PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). We found 3 genotypes each at SNP(1) (TT, TC, and CC) and SNP(2) (GG, GA, and AA). The association among the different genotypes at these 2 sites and milk production traits was analyzed using a least-squares procedure. The results showed that cows with genotype CC had higher milk yields than those with genotype TC (0.01 < p < 0.05). No significant difference was detected among the 3 SNP(2) genotypes in terms of milk production traits. Our results provide evidence that the C allele have potential effects on milk yield trait. 相似文献
