This study aims to elucidate the effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the 5'-flanking region of porcine heat shock protein 70.2 gene (HSP70.2) on semen quality in boars. Genomic DNA isolated from 55 boars (41 Duroc, nine Landrace, and five Yorkshire) was subjected to PCR amplification of the 5'-flanking region of HSP70.2. The nucleotide sequences were determined by automated sequencing. Five SNPs (sites 44, 232, 250, 345, and 393) were detected in this region. Semen quality was evaluated in terms of sperm motility, percentage of normal sperm, percentage of sperm with proximal plasma droplet, percentage of abnormal sperm, sperm concentration, semen volume per ejaculate and total sperm number per ejaculate. The effect of the SNPs on semen quality was evaluated based on breed-corrected data within a season. During the cool season, the sperm motility of boars with AA genotype at the 232 site was significantly higher than that of boars with CC genotype (P<0.05). Meanwhile, boars with AC genotype at the 232 site had higher total sperm number per ejaculate than did those with CC genotype. In the hot season, heterozygotes at both the 232 and 250 sites had significantly higher total sperm number of per ejaculate than AA homozygotes (P<0.05). Semen volume of boars with TT and TC genotypes at the 345 site was significantly larger than that of those with CC genotype (P<0.05). Meanwhile, semen quality for boars with TT genotype at the 345 site was significantly higher than that of boars with TC or CC genotype (P<0.05), that is the semen contained higher percentages of normal sperm and lower percentages of abnormal sperm or sperm with proximal plasma droplets. Results herein suggest that the SNPs in the 5'-flanking region of porcine HSP70.2 are associated with semen quality traits in the hot season. 相似文献

Polymorphism in the 5'-flanking region of the human insulin gene and the incidence of diabetes. 下载免费PDF全文

DNA length polymorphism in the 5'-flanking region of the human insulin gene has been reported by Bell et al. (1981), Rotwein et al. (1981), and Owerbach and Nerup (1982). Bgl I digestions of human DNA that have been hybridized to an insulin probe using the Southern technique shows that there are two distinct groups of 5'-flanking lengths: one being shorter than 3.6 kilobases (kb) and the other being longer than 4.3 kb. The insulin genes with the former length are denoted as A1, and those with the latter as A2. Using these data and demographic data of diabetes, it is estimated that, when the fitness of A1 A2 individual was taken as unity, the amounts of fitness reduction for A1 A1 was 6.5 X 10(-6) and that for A2 A2 was -5.6 X 10(-6). Because of these small magnitudes of selection, the changes in population incidences of insulin-dependent diabetes and noninsulin-dependent diabetes are not affected much by the polymorphism in the 5'-flanking region of the insulin gene. 相似文献

Structural organization of the bovine thyroglobulin gene and of its 5'-flanking region 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

The structural organization of the bovine thyroglobulin gene has been investigated by a combination of Southern genomic blotting and direct analysis of cloned gene fragments isolated from a chromosomal DNA library. The entire locus is spread over more than 200,000 base pairs which makes it one of the largest eukaryotic genes studies to date. The coding information is scattered into at least 42 exons, 34 of which have been precisely identified. A different evolutionary origin of the 5' and 3' regions of the gene is supported by the highly different proportion of exonic material they contain (12% and 3%, respectively) and by the existence of sequence homology between the 3' region of thyroglobulin and acetylcholinesterase. Detailed sequence analysis of the 5' region of the gene and its flanking segment demonstrated that a significant homology exists between bovine and human thyroglobulin sequences, except for the presence within the ruminant promoter region of a 220-base-pair sequence belonging to the bovine monomer repeated family. 相似文献
