The present meta-analysis was carried to provide the more reliable estimates of gene frequency and association of Rsa 1 generated candidate genotype of prolactin gene within exon-3 with performance traits in 1198 Indian dairy cows using data from 15 published studies. Six genetic models viz., codominant (AA vs. AB, AA vs. BB and AB vs. BB), dominant (AA+AB vs. BB), completely over dominant (AA+BB vs. AB) and recessive (AA vs. AB+BB) were used to obtain standardized mean difference (SMD) between genotypes. Meta-analysis showed that the gene frequency of A allele (156 bp) was 0.60 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.54, 0.65). In association analysis, cows with AB genotype [SMD?=?0.65, 95% CI 0.00, 1.30] had significantly (P?<?0.05) higher lactation milk yield (LMY) as compared to BB genotype, whereas AA and AB genotypes had similar trend. Likewise, AA?+?AB also had larger effect [SMD?=?2.31, 95% CI 0.21, 4.10] on LMY as compared to BB. Cows with AB genotype had significantly lower age at first calving (AFC) with small effect [SMD (AA vs. AB)?=?1.38, 95% CI 0.06, 2.70] and medium effect [SMD (AB vs. BB)?=????3.83, 95% CI???6.41,???1.24] as compared to cows with AA and BB genotypes, respectively. This finding was confirmed under dominant and completely over dominant models. In case of fat%, AA genotype showed negative effect (SMD?=????0.51, 95% CI???0.84,???0.17) under recessive model. It was concluded that the propagation of allele A is promising to help dairy farmers to improve the genetic quality of their dairy cows.

A fragment of 570 bp corresponding to exon 5 and 6 of integrin beta 2 (ITGB2) gene was amplified for screening D128G mutation in one hundred and fifty two buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) which causes bovine leukocyte adhesion deficiency syndrome (BLAD) in cattle, as well as to ascertain polymorphism. TaqI PCR-RFLP revealed no such mutation thus indicating the absence of bubaline leukocyte adhesion deficiency (BuLAD) allele in animals under study. However, the polymorphism studies using MspI restriction enzyme revealed two genotypic patterns viz. AA pattern (bands of 293, 141, 105, and 31 bp) and BB pattern (bands of 293, 105, 77, 64, and 31 bp). The sequences of A and B alleles were submitted to the GenBank (EU853307 and AY821799). 相似文献
Abstract The 5-oxo-6-methylene-pyrimidine-2,4-dione intermediate (6) that is formed when 5-acetoxy-6-acetoxymethyl-1-β-D-(5-O-acetyl-2,3-O-isopropylidene)-ribofuranosyluracil (5) is treated with sodium hydroxide undergoes cyclization at pH 14 to give 2′,3′-O-isopropylidene-5-hydroxy- O5, 6-methanouridine (8) in good yield. Conversion of 8 into the 5-triflate ester 14 followed by reduction with [(Ph)3P]4Pd/Bu3SnH and deblocking with acetic acid then affords O5′, 6-methanouridine (4) Conformational studies (NOE difference spectra, vicinal 1H-13C coupling constants, NOESY and CD spectra, molecular modeling) indicate that the C7-methylene group of 4 projects towards the furanose ring oxygen atom, producing a glycosyl rotation angle of about ? 160°. 相似文献
A highly chitinolytic strain Penicillium ochrochloron MTCC 517 was procured from MTCC, Chandigarh, India. Culture medium supplemented with 1% chitin was found to be suitable for maximum production of chitinase. Purification of extracellular chitinase was done from the culture medium by organic solvent precipitation and DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. The chitinase was purified 6.92-fold with 29.9% yield. Molecular mass of purified chitinase was found to be 64 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The chitinase showed optimum temperature 40 °C and pH 7.0. The enzyme activity was completely inhibited by Hg2+, Zn2+, K+ and NH4+. The enzyme kinetic study of purified chitinase revealed the following characteristics, such as apparent Km 1.3 mg ml?1, Vmax 5.523 × 10?5 moles l?1 min?1 and Kcat 2.37 s?1 and catalytic efficiency 1.82 s?1 M?1. The enzyme hydrolyzed colloidal chitin, glycol chitin, chitosan, glycol chitosan, N,N′-diacetylchitobiose, p-nitrophenyl N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminide and 4-methylumbelliferyl N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminide. The chitinase of P. ochrochloron MTCC 517 is an exoenzyme, which gives N-acetylglucosamine as the main hydrolyzate after hydrolysis of colloidal chitin. Protoplasts with high regeneration capacity were obtained from Aspergillus niger using chitinase from P. ochrochloron MTCC 517. Since it also showed antifungal activity, P. ochrochloron MTCC 517 seems to be a promising biocontrol agent. 相似文献
