Whole-genome duplication in the ancient ray-finned fish and subsequent tetraploidization in the ancestor to the salmonids have complicated genomic and candidate gene studies in these organisms as many genes with multiple copies are present throughout their genomes. In an attempt to identify genes with a potential influence on growth and development, we investigated the genomic positions of insulin-like growth factors 1 and 2 (IGF1, IGF2), myogenic factors 5 and 6 (MYF5, MYF6) and growth hormone-releasing factor/pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (GRF/PACAP) in three salmonid species: rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus). Our results suggest a tight association between the IGF1, MYF5 and MYF6 genes in all three species. We further localized the duplicated copies of IGF1 to the homeologous linkage groups RT-7/15 in rainbow trout and AC-3/24 in Arctic charr, and the two copies of MYF6 to homeologous linkage groups AS-22/24 in Atlantic salmon. Localization of GRF/PACAP to RT-7, AS-31 and AC-27 and IGF2 to RT-27, AS-2 and AC-4 in rainbow trout, Atlantic salmon and Arctic charr respectively is consistent with previously reported homologies among these chromosomal segments identified using other genetic markers. However, localization of the second copy of GRF/PACAP to RT-19 and AC-14 and the duplicated copy of IGF2 to AC-19 suggest a possible new homology/homeology between these chromosomes. These results might also be an indication of a more ancient polyploidization event that occurred deep in the ray-finned fish lineage.  相似文献

The MYF5 gene has been reported to be integral to muscle growth and development, and hence it has been considered as a candidate gene for meat selection programs in pig. To ascertain whether there was variation in the porcine MYF5 gene, we have developed a method of PCR–single-strand conformational polymorphism (PCR–SSCP) analysis. In this study, two coding regions of the MYF5 gene were investigated. Four unique SSCP patterns were detected in exon 1 and three patterns were identified in exon 3. Two SNPs detected in exon 1 led to a non-synonymous alanine/proline substitution. A nucleotide change in exon 3 did not affect the amino acid sequence. Five extended haplotypes were observed across the two regions. The variation detected in this study might underpin the development of gene markers for improved muscle growth in pig breeding.  相似文献

Myogenic factor 5 plays actively roles in the regulation of myogenesis. The aims of this study are to identify the evolution information of MYF5 protein among 10 domestic and mammalian animals, to uncover the expression patterns of MYF5 gene in calves and adults of Qinchuan cattle, and to expose the genetic variants of the MYF5 gene and explore its effect on cattle growth traits and beef quality traits in Qinchuan cattle. The bioinformatics results showed that the MYF5 proteins highly conserved in different mammalian or domestic animals apart from chicken. The expression level of MYF5 gene in the heart, muscle, lung, large intestine and liver was greater than that of other tissues. PCR amplicons sequencing identified four novel SNPs at g.5738A>G, g.5785C>T and g.5816A>G in the 3rd exon region and g.6535A>G in the 3’ UTR. Genotypic frequencies of g.5785C>T was harshly deviated from the HWE (P < .05). Genetic diversity was low or intermediate for the four SNPs and those SNPs were in the weak linkage disequilibrium. Association analysis results indicated g.5785C>T, g.5816A>G and g.6535A>G significant effect on growth performance and beef quality traits of Qinchuan cattle. H1H3 diplotype had greater body size and better beef quality. All the results implicate that the MYF5 gene might be applied as a promising candidate gene in Qinchuan cattle breeding.  相似文献

Five new loci, myogenic factor 5 (MYF5), complement 1 receptor (CIR), myosin-like heavy chain (MYHL), islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP), and alpha-2-macroglobulin receptor (A2MR), were mapped onto sheep chromosome 3q by Southern hybridization to a panel of chro-mosomally characterized sheep × hamster cell hybrid lines. The location of the triose phosphate isomerase (TPI1) gene and one of the nucleolar organizer regions (RNR) on sheep 3q was confirmed by Southern analysis. This study provides further evidence for the existence of a large conserved chromosomal segment comprising much of sheep chromosome 3q, cattle chromosome 5, and human chromosome 12. The distal evolutionary breakpoint on human chromosome 12, producing the chromosomal segment U23 in cattle marked by aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2), also produces a separate segment in sheep. Neither ALDH2 nor pancreatic lipase (PLA2), which is also distally located on human chromosome 12, were mapped onto sheep chromosome 3q.  相似文献

The six proteins of the CCN family have important roles in development, angiogenesis, cell motility, proliferation, and other fundamental cell processes. To date, CCN5 distribution in developing rodents and humans has not been mapped comprehensively. CCN5 strongly inhibits adult smooth muscle cell proliferation and motility. Its anti-proliferative action predicts that CCN5 would not be present in developing tissues until the proliferation phase of tissue morphogenesis is complete. However, estrogen induces CCN5 expression in epithelial and smooth muscle cells, suggesting that CCN5 might be widely expressed in embryonic tissues exposed to high levels of estrogen. 9–16 day murine embryos and fetuses and 3–7 month human fetal tissues were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. CCN5 was detected in nearly all developing tissues. CCN5 protein expression was initially present in most tissues, and at later times in development tissue-specific expression differences were observed. CCN5 expression was particularly strong in vascular tissues, cardiac muscle, bronchioles, myotendinous junctions, and intestinal smooth muscle and epithelium. CCN5 expression was initially absent in bone cartilaginous forms but was increasingly expressed during bone endochondral ossification. Widespread CCN5 mRNA expression was detected in GD14.5 mice. Although CCN2 and CCN5 protein expression patterns in some adult pathologic conditions are inversely expressed, this expression pattern was not found in developing mouse and human tissues. The widespread expression pattern of CCN5 in most embryonic and fetal tissues suggests a diverse range of functions for CCN5.

Four novel small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), h5sn1, h5sn2, h5sn3, and h5sn4, were successfully amplified from human total RNAs using RT-PCR. They exhibited the structural hallmarks of box H/ACA snoRNAs and formed sequence complementarity to 5S rRNA. The nucleotide sequences of the snoRNAs from different donors were highly conserved as evidenced by single-stranded conformational polymorphism and direct nucleotide sequence analysis. Although their host genes had no protein-coding potential, the expression of the snoRNAs was differentially displayed in different tissues. Noticeably, h5sn2 was highly expressed in normal brain, but its expression drastically decreased in meningioma. This opens the fascinating possibility of the relationship between the processing of snoRNAs and carcinogenesis.  相似文献

Laminin-5, a heterotrimer of laminin alpha3, beta3, and gamma2 chains, is an essential component of various epithelial basement membranes, and it strongly promotes cellular adhesion and motility in vitro. In this study, we established an efficient expression system of human recombinant laminin-5 (rLN5), in which full-length cDNAs encoding the human laminin alpha3, beta3, and gamma2 chains were introduced into the human embryonic kidney cell line HEK293. rLN5 was purified from the conditioned medium of the HEK293 transfectant (LN5-HEK) by immuno-affinity chromatography in a yield of 1 mg protein/liter, about 10 times higher than that of a natural LN5 from human gastric cancer cells. rLN5 was indistinguishable from the natural LN5 in its protein composition and biological activity. In addition, analysis of HEK293 transfectants expressing two exogenous LN5 subunits showed that the alpha3/gamma2 chains and the beta3/gamma2 chains, but not the alpha3/beta3 chains, were secreted as heterodimers, suggesting an important role of the gamma2 chain in the association of the three LN5 subunits. The expression system of rLN5 can be used as an important tool to understand the biological functions of this laminin and may be applicable to future regenerative medicine.  相似文献

Tight junctions are the main intercellular junctions of podocytes of the renal glomerulus under nephrotic conditions. Their requisite components, claudins, still remain to be identified. We have measured the mRNA levels of claudin subtypes by quantitative real-time PCR using isolated rat glomeruli. Claudin-5 was found to be expressed most abundantly in glomeruli. Mass spectrometric analysis of membrane preparation from isolated glomeruli also confirmed only claudin-5 expression without any detection of other claudin subtypes. In situ hybridization and immunolocalization studies revealed that claudin-5 was localized mainly in glomeruli where podocytes were the only cells expressing claudin-5. Claudin-5 protein was observed on the entire surface of podocytes including apical and basal domains of the plasma membrane in the normal condition and was inclined to be concentrated on tight junctions in puromycin aminonucleoside nephrosis. Total protein levels of claudin-5 in isolated glomeruli were not significantly upregulated in the nephrosis. These findings suggest that claudin-5 is a main claudin expressed in podocytes and that the formation of tight junctions in the nephrosis may be due to local recruitment of claudin-5 rather than due to total upregulation of the claudin protein levels.  相似文献
