改进的多片段重叠延伸PCR制作基因多位点突变

为在研究工作中提高制作目标基因多位点突变体的效率,对常规重叠延伸PCR进行适当改进:对于相距较近的两个突变位点,只需设计一对突变引物各自涵盖其中一个位点即可一次突变;对于相距较远的两个位点,可以采用三片段重叠延伸PCR的办法解决;两者结合则可一次性突变多个位点。以制作RBCT的6位点突变体PSM6为例,利用上述策略,设计两对突变引物;采用OE-PCR法,第一轮PCR扩增出三个片段,第二轮PCR同时利用三片段重叠延伸产物作为模板扩增出目标基因突变体,再按常规分子克隆方法将其连入质粒载体。经测序检测,发现得到了预期的目标基因多位点突变体。因此,采用灵活的引物设计策略,结合多片段重叠延伸PCR即可一次性制作基因的多位点突变体,此方案可解决研究工作中大多数多位点突变问题。

Guidelines for the Tetra-Primer ARMS–PCR Technique Development

The tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system–polymerase chain (ARMS–PCR) reaction is a simple and economical method to genotype single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). It uses four primers in a single PCR and is followed just by gel electrophoresis. However, the optimization step can be very hardworking and time-consuming. Hence, we propose to demonstrate and discuss critical steps for its development, in a way to provide useful information. Two SNPs that provided different amplification conditions were selected. DNA extraction methods, annealing temperatures, PCR cycles protocols, reagents, and primers concentration were also analyzed. The use of tetra-primer ARMS–PCR could be impaired for SNPs in DNA regions rich in cytosine and guanine and for samples with DNA not purified. The melting temperature was considered the factor of greater interference. However, small changes in the reagents concentration significantly affect the PCR, especially MgCl₂. Balancing the inner primers band is also a key step. So, in order to balance the inner primers band, intensity is important to observe which one has the weakest band and promote its band by increasing its concentration. The use of tetra-primer ARMS–PCR attends the expectations of modern genomic research and allows the study of SNPs in a fast, reliable, and low-cost way.     

绵羊产羔性状主效基因检测研究

以绵羊BMP15基因和BMPR-IB基因为候选基因,以湖羊、中国美利奴单胎品系、中国美利奴肉用和毛用多胎品系为研究对象,采用PCR-RFLP方法对候选基因进行单核苷酸多态性（SNP）位点检测和基因型分析,同时研究基因对绵羊产羔数的影响。对BMP15基因进行SNP检测,结果未发现多态性位点;对BMPR-IB基因进行多态性检测,结果发现了一个A746 G SNP位点。依据A746 G SNP位点进行基因型分析,结果在各品种（系）羊中发现了3种基因型,即BB、B+和++。等位基因型频率在各品种（系）间差异极显著（P<0.001）,在湖羊中以BB基因型为主,在中国美利奴单胎品系中以++基因型为主, 而在中国美利奴肉用和毛用多胎品系中以B+基因型为主。BMPR-IB A746G位点的变异明显影响绵羊的产羔数,与++基因型母羊相比, BB和B+基因型母羊产羔数明显较多。研究结果同时表明,利用BMPR-IB基因型可以很好的预测母羊的产羔数。研究获得的这些结果强烈表明BMPR-IB为影响绵羊的产羔数的主效基因,可以用于对绵羊产羔数的选择。Abstract: The current study was designed to detect SNPs within BMP15 and BMPR-IB gene and investigate the effect of the genes on sheep litter size. Four sheep lines, HU-Yang, Chinese M erino monotocous, Chinese Merino multiparous for wool production and Chinese Merino multiparous for mutton production, were used in this study. Litter sizes were recorded for each ewe in the four lines. Primers for BMP15 and BMPR-IB gene were designed from database sheep sequence and polymorphisms were detected by PCR-RFLP method. The results showed that there was no polymorphism with BMP15 gene among the four lines, and there was an A / G SNP with BMPR-IB gene at base 746 among the four lines. Three types of genotype (BB, B+ and ++), based on A / G locus, were found within each line. The frequencies of genotypes were significantly different among the lines (P<0.001), with BB genotype primarily existing in HU-Yang, ++ genotype in Chinese Merino monotocous line, and B+ genotype in Chinnese Merino multiparous lines. The A / G mutation influence significantly the sheep litter sizes, and the BB and B+ ewes had significant higher litter sizes than ++ ewes. The results of present study showed simultaneously that the genotype of BMPR-IB was a perfect predictor of the sheep litter sizes. These results intensively indicated that BMPR-IB is a major gene to affect litter size in sheep, and could be used as the molecular genetic marker to select litter size in sheep.     

Polymorphisms of coding region of BMPR-IB gene and their relationship with litter size in sheep

The bone morphogenetic protein receptor IB (BMPR-IB) was studied as a candidate gene for the prolificacy of sheep. Nine pairs of primers (P1-P9) were designed to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of exons 1-4 and 6-10 of the BMPR-IB gene in both high (Small Tail Han and Hu sheep) and low prolificacy breeds (Texel and Chinese Merino sheep) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP). Only the products amplified by primers P2, P5, P6, P7, P8 and P9 displayed polymorphisms. The present study identified 22 SNPs in partial coding regions of ovine BMPR-IB, in which 20 SNPs were reported for the first time. In total of the 22 mutations, 18 DNA variations were originated from the Hu breed, three were found in the Small Tail Han breed (two of them were found in other sheep breeds), three in the Chinese Merino breed, and none in the Texel breed. These results preliminarily demonstrated that BMPR-IB is a major gene affecting the hyperprolificacy in Small Tail Han and Hu sheep, and could be used as a molecular genetic marker for early auxiliary selection for hyperprolificacy in sheep.     

Polymorphism of fecundity genes (FecB, FecX, and FecG) in the Indian Bonpala sheep

The present study was designed for screening polymorphism of known fecundity genes in prolific Indian Bonpala sheep. Employing tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system PCR, 11-point mutations of BMP1B, BMP15, and GDF9 genes of 97 Bonpala ewes were genotyped. The FecB locus of the BMPR1B gene and two loci (G1 and G4) of GDF9 gene were found to be polymorphic. In FecB locus, three genotypes, namely, wild type (Fec++, 0.02), heterozygous (FecB+, 0.23), and mutant (FecBB, 0.75) were detected. At G1 locus of GDF9 gene, three genotypes, namely, wild type (GG, 0.89), heterozygous (GA, 0.10), and mutant (AA, 0.01) were detected. At G4 locus of GDF9 gene, three genotypes, namely, wild type (AA, 0.01), heterozygous (AG, 0.14), and mutant (GG, 0.85) were detected. Statistically no significant correlation of polymorphism of FecB, G1, and G4 loci and litter size was found in this breed. All five loci of BMP15 and three loci of GDF 9 genes were monomorphic. This study reports Bonpala sheep as the first sheep breed where concurrent polymorphism at three important loci (FecB, G1, and G4) of two different fecundity genes (BMPR1B and GDF9) has been found.     

优良的BMPR-IB基因型可提高绵羊冷冻胚胎的受胎效果

以控制BooroolaMerino羊高繁殖力的BMPR-IB基因为候选基因,以小尾寒羊及其杂交羊、东北半细毛羊、澳洲美利奴羊、德国肉用美利奴羊、萨福克羊、特克塞尔羊、夏洛莱羊为试验对象,采用PCR-限制性片段长度多态性(PCR-RFLP)方法进行基因单核苷酸多态性(SNP)检测和基因型分析,同时研究基因对高繁殖力的影响.研究结果表明:小尾寒羊及其杂交羊、东北半细毛羊和夏洛莱羊群体中发现了与BooroolaMerino羊相同的A746G碱基突变,而小尾寒羊及其杂交羊群体的B等位基因频率明显高于其他2个品种.另外4个品种中未发现此突变.携带B等位基因的群体较非携带B等位基因群体排出更多的卵子,排卵后黄体直径较小.移植入冷冻胚胎后, 、B 和BB3种基因型群体的妊娠率分别为38.78%、45.71%和66.67%.由此推断,BMPR-IB基因突变很有可能从增加卵巢排卵数和提高胚胎着床及妊娠建立效率两个方面同时影响绵羊高繁殖力性状.所得BB型群体冻胚移植妊娠率明显高于 和B 型群体,已接近鲜胚移植水平,通过PCR-RFLP方法进行基因型分析,选用合适基因型群体作为胚胎移植受体,有可能为提高绵羊胚胎移植受胎率提供新的方向.

BMPR-IB和BMP15基因作为小尾寒羊多胎性能候选基因的研究

以控制BooroolaMerino羊多胎性能的BMPR IB基因 ,以及影响Invedale和Hanna羊排卵数的BMP15基因作为候选基因 ,从分子水平上对小尾寒羊的多胎机制进行研究 ,分析突变位点的特性 ,并通过大规模的群体检测统计推断其遗传效应。实验结果表明 :多胎品种小尾寒羊在BMPR IB基因的相应位置上发生了与BooroolaMerino羊相同的突变 (A74 6G) ,该基因的BB基因型在小尾寒羊群体内为优势基因型 ,且小尾寒羊初产和经产母羊的BB基因型比 ++基因型分别多产 0 97羔 (P <0 0 5 )和 1 5羔 (P <0 0 1) ,推测BMPR IB基因与控制小尾寒羊多胎性能的主效基因存在紧密的遗传连锁。而BMP15基因在小尾寒羊中不存在V31D或Q2 3Ter突变 ,说明小尾寒羊的多胎遗传机制与Romney羊不同 ,因此排除了BMP15突变影响小尾寒羊排卵数的可能性。     

Use of allele-specific sequencing primers is an efficient alternative to PCR subcloning of low-copy nuclear genes

Direct Sanger sequencing of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified nuclear genes leads to polymorphic sequences when allelic variation is present. To overcome this problem, most researchers subclone the PCR products to separate alleles. An alternative is to directly sequence the separate alleles using allele-specific primers. We tested two methods to enhance the specificity of allele-specific primers for use in direct sequencing: using short primers and amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS) technique. By shortening the allele-specific primer to 15-13 nucleotides, the single mismatch in the ultimate base of the primer is enough to hinder the amplification of the nontarget allele in direct sequencing and recover only the targeted allele at high accuracy. The deliberate addition of a second mismatch, as implemented in the ARMS technique, was less successful and seems better suited for allele-specific amplification in regular PCR rather than in direct sequencing.     

甘肃现代肉羊新品种群羊GH基因外显子1多态性与体重关联分析

根据GenBank发表的绵羊生长激素(GH)基因外显子1的序列设计一对引物,采用PCR-SSCP技术分析GH基因外显子1在甘肃现代肉羊新品种选育群羊中的单核苷酸多态性,并与3月龄前的体重进行关联分析。结果表明,GH基因外显子1在新品种群羊中存在多态性,检测到两种基因型(AA、AB),其301bp处有一个T/A突变和305bp处有一个G/A突变,初生重、1月、2月、3月龄体重AA、AB型都无显著性差异(P>0.05),但3月龄AB型个体的体重相对于AA型偏高,由此初步推断GH基因可能是影响绵羊体重性状的主基因或与主基因相连锁,可用以对绵羊体重性状进行标记辅助选择。
