The Polymorphisms of MSTN Gene and Its Relationship with Meat Quanlity Traits in Gaopo Pig

To explore the influence of Gaopo pig myostatin (MSTN) gene polymorphism on meat quanlity traits (moisture,crude fat,crude protein,crude ash, loin muscle area, marbling score, pH value, color of meat,tenderness,drip loss, water loss rate), MSTN gene was chosen as a candidate gene for research meat quality traits in this study. 50 Gaopo pigs at 10 months old were selected,the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of three exons of MSTN gene in Gaopo pig were detected by direct sequencing of PCR amplification products, and the correlation between MSTN gene SNP and meat quality traits was analyzed using SPSS 20.0 software. The results showed that a C/T mutation had been found at 63 bp of MSTN gene exon 3,the site was silent mutation, and did not caused changes of encoding amino acid. Genotype analysis showed only three samples had mutations in the site, CC genotype was the dominant type and allele C was the dominant gene, but there was no TT homozygous genotype. The test of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium showed the research group obeyed the genetic equilibrium (P>0.05). Population genetic parameter analysis showed the heterozygosity (He) of C63T was lower, and had a low variation in Gaopo pig population. Polymorphism information content (PIC) analysis showed that it was a low polymorphic loci (PIC<0.25), and the site could provide a little genetic imformation. There was no significant difference between the different genotypes and meat quality traits (P>0.05).Given the above, the polymorphism of MSTNgene exon was found in Gaopo pig, with less variation and relatively conservative.It's needed to expand the number of sample for further explore whether the site could be considered as genetic markers for meat quality traits of Gaopo pig or not.     

高坡猪肌肉生长抑制素基因多态性及其与肉质性状的相关性分析

为了探讨肌肉生长抑制素（myostatin,MSTN）基因的多态性对高坡猪肉质性状（水分、粗脂肪、粗蛋白质、粗灰分、眼肌面积、大理石纹、pH、肉色、嫩度、滴水损失、失水率）的影响,试验以MSTN基因作为肉质性状候选基因,以10月龄的50头高坡猪为研究对象,采用PCR扩增产物直接测序的方法对高坡猪MSTN基因3个外显子的单核苷酸多态性（SNP）进行研究,运用SPSS 20.0软件分析MSTN基因SNP与肉质性状的关联性。结果表明,仅在高坡猪MSTN基因第3外显子63 bp处检测到1个C/T突变位点,该突变为同义突变,未引起编码氨基酸的改变。基因型分析发现,仅有3个个体在该位点发生突变,CC基因型为优势基因型,C为优势等位基因,无TT纯合基因型。经χ²适合性检验分析,该SNP在研究群体中处于Hardy-Weinberg平衡状态（P>0.05）。群体遗传参数分析发现,C63T标记位点的杂合度（He）相对较低,表明其在高坡猪群体中的变异较小;就多态信息含量（PIC）而言,该位点属于低度多态（PIC<0.25）,说明该遗传标记能够提供少量的遗传信息。将该位点的不同基因型与肉质性状指标进行关联分析表明,所有肉质性状指标在不同基因型间差异均不显著（P>0.05）。综上所述,MSTN基因外显子在高坡猪中存在多态性,但变异较少,相对保守,能否作为高坡猪肉质性状的遗传标记有待于扩大样本数量进一步研究。     

Association of ADSL gene polymorphisms with meat quality and carcass traits in domestic pigeons (Columba livia)

ABSTRACT

1. Adenylosuccinate lyase (ADSL) plays an important role in the synthesis of inosine monophosphate (IMP). In this trial, a total of 200 pigeons were sampled and slaughtered. Seven meat quality traits and 11 carcass traits were measured. DNA sequencing was used to detect nucleotide mutations, and associations between ADSL gene polymorphisms and meat quality and carcass traits were analysed.

2. Sequencing results showed that 9 nucleotide mutations were found in the exons of the ADSL gene. All the mutations were synonymous except C13065G, which caused a change in amino acids (Ser to Arg). In addition, two of the detected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) had significant associations with meat quality and carcass traits.

3. For the C13065G SNP located in exon11, the IMP content of breast muscle in AA and AB genotype was higher than in the BB genotype (P < 0.01). The SNP G10696A located in exon10 was significantly associated with carcass rate, in which AA and AB genotype were higher than the BB genotype (P < 0.01).

4. The results indicated that the ADSL gene has a close association with meat quality and carcass traits in domestic pigeons, and G10696A and C13065G SNPs could be applied as genetic markers in molecular marker-assisted breeding of pigeons.     

鸡肉肌苷酸和肌内脂肪沉积规律研究

鸡肉肌苷酸（IMP）和肌内脂肪（IMF）含量与鸡肉风味品质密切相关，脂肪决定了鸡肉特殊的肉香味，而肌苷酸是一种重要的滋味物质。不同的消费者对肉鸡的品种、年龄、性别乃至部位都有不同偏好，这除了与风俗习惯有关外，更重要的是对品质和风味特性的选择。本研究通过比较不同品种、性别、日龄和部位的鸡肉IMP和IMF的含量，旨在探讨IMP和IMF的沉积规律，为确定风味性状选择方法提供依据。     

北京油鸡AMPD1基因多态性及其与肌苷酸含量关系的研究

根据人和大鼠的腺苷-磷酸脱氨酶1（AMPD1）基因序列设计引物，采用PCR-RF-SSCP技术检测了130只北京油鸡AMPD1基因多态性，并分析了AMPD1的不同基因型与北京油鸡肌苷酸含量的关系。结果表明：在北京油鸡中检测到AMPD1基因的A、B、C3个等位基因，基因频率分别为0．1808、0．6615、0．1577；产生AA、AB、AC、BB、BC、CC6种基因型，基因型频率分别为0．0769、0．1769、0．0308、0．4615、0．2231、0．0308。最小二乘分析表明基因型AC、BB所对应的肌苷酸含量最小二乘均值显著高于基因型AA所对应的最小二乘均值（P〈0．05），肌苷酸含量在AMPD1其余基因型之间没有显著差异（P〉0．05）。     

湖羊BMPR-IB、BMP15和GDF9基因的RFLP分析

以BMPR-IB、BMP15、GDF9基因作为湖羊多胎性状候选基因,采用PCR-RFLP技术检测了53只湖羊上述候选基因的单核苷酸多态性。结果表明:湖羊BMPR-IB基因的FecB位点只存在BB和+B两种基因型,二者的基因型频率分别为0.981 1和0.018 9;B等位基因为绝对优势等位基因,基因频率为0.990 6。未检测到BMP15基因的B4(FecXB)突变和GDF9基因的G8(FecGH)突变。因此,推测BMPR-IB基因的FecB位点是湖羊多胎性的主效基因,而BMP15基因和GDF9基因与湖羊群产羔数关系不大。研究结果同时反映了所测湖羊群体是一个高度纯化的宝贵绵羊品种资源。     

Correlations Analysis between Polymorphism of 3’-UTR in MSTN Gene and Slaughter Traits of China Red Steppe

In order to study the effect of myostatin (MSTN) gene on the meat performance of Local Yellow cattle in China,selecting 2 Local cattle breeds (Grassland Red bull,Yanbian cattle) as the research object,four binary hybrid cattle group (Germany Yellow cattle×Simmental,Limousin×Simmental,Charolais×Simmental and Red Angus×Simmental) as reference.PCR-RFLP and DNA sequencing methods were conducted to detect single nucleotide polymorphism of MSTN gene in two Chinese native cattle and four cross cattle,and analyzed the correlations between single nucleotide polymorphism of China Red Steppe MSTN gene and slaughter traits.The sequence analysis showed that there was no mutations in the MSTN gene exon 3,a C5358A mutation of 3'-UTR of MSTN gene was found,which made the AclⅠrestriction enzyme site disappeared,all cattle groups showed polymorphism which was formed two genes as A,C, and 3 genotypes as AA,CA and CC, respectively.The research results suggested that AA genotype in groups of four hybrid cattle had dominant advantage and the genotype frequency was apparently higher than two groups of Chinese Native cattle for the test of independence,allele A was expressed the preferential allelic,the frequencies of CA,CC and AA genotypes showed a little variation between two cross cattle and Native cattle,and the frequency of allele C was apparently higher than allele A,so allele C was designed the preferential allelic in the local population.While correlations between different genotypes of China Red Steppe and slaughter traits analysis showed that AA genotype individual net meat percentage and eye muscle area were significantly higher than CA and CC genotype individuals (P<0.05),but other slaughter straits had no significant differences in three genotypes(P>0.05).These results provided a useful reference for research of the meat performance of China Red Steppe in the molecular breeding field.     

Analysis of the Genetic Effects of Three Genes Involved in de novo Purine Biosynthesis on IMP Content in Baier Chickens

<正>GPAT,AIRC and purH genes are involved in the de novo purine biosynthesis,and they all had significant effects on muscle inosine monophosphate(IMP) content in chickens.This study was designed to investigate the effects of GPAT,AIRC and purH genes on muscle IMP content in a relatively large population of Baier chickens;single genotype effects as well as the combined genotype effects were analyzed.The results further support that GPAT,AIRC and purH genes had effects on muscle IMP content;they might be candidate loci or linked to major genes affecting muscle IMP content.The combined genotypic effects were significantly higher than those of the single genotypes and were even larger when more gene loci were combined.We tentatively conclude that combined genotypes are superior to single genotypes as potential molecular markers for meat quality traits in chicken.     

Effects of calpastatin and micro-calpain markers in beef cattle on tenderness traits

The objective of this study was to assess the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) developed at the calpastatin (CAST) and mu-calpain (CAPN1) genes with meat tenderness and palatability traits in populations with diverse genetic backgrounds. Three populations were used in the study. One population consisted of Bos taurus that included crossbred animals derived from Hereford, Angus, Red Angus, Limousin, Charolais, Gelbvieh, and Simmental (GPE7; n = 539). Another population consisted of Bos taurus with Bos indicus influence, including crossbred animals from Hereford, Angus, Brangus, Beefmaster, Bonsmara, and Romosinuano (GPE8; n = 580). The third population was Bos indicus and consisted of purebred Brahman (STARS; n = 444). Traits evaluated were meat tenderness measured as Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF; kg) at 14 d postmortem, and traits evaluated by trained sensory panels that included tenderness score, juiciness, and flavor intensity. A SNP at the CAST gene had a significant (P < 0.003) effect on WBSF and tenderness score in the GPE7 and GPE8 populations. Animals inheriting the TT genotype at CAST had meat that was more tender than those inheriting the CC genotype. The marker at the CAPN1 gene was significant (P < 0.03) for tenderness score in GPE7 and GPE8. Animals inheriting the CC genotype at CAPN1 had meat that was more tender than those inheriting the TT genotype. Markers at the CAST and CAPN1 genes were associated with flavor intensity in the GPE8 population. Animals inheriting the CC genotype at CAST and the TT genotype at CAPN1 produced steaks with an intense flavor when compared with the other genotypes. An interaction between CAST and CAPN1 was detected (P < 0.05) for WBSF on GPE8. The statistical significance of the interaction is questionable because of the limited number of observations in some cells. Markers developed at the CAST and CAPN1 genes are suitable for use in identifying animals with the genetic potential to produce meat that is more tender.     

Association of myostatin on early calf mortality, growth, and carcass composition traits in crossbred cattle

The objective of this study was to investigate a potential association of an inactive myostatin allele with early calf mortality, and evaluate its effect on growth and carcass traits in a crossbred population. Animals were obtained by mating F1 cows to F1 (Belgian Blue x British Breed) or Charolais sires. Cows were obtained from mating Hereford, Angus, and MARC III (1/4 Hereford, 1/4 Angus, 1/4 Pinzgauer, and 1/4 Red Poll) dams to Hereford, Angus, Tuli, Boran, Brahman, or Belgian Blue sires. Belgian Blue was the source of the inactive myostatin allele. Myostatin genotypes were determined for all animals including those that died before weaning. Early calf mortality was examined in the F2 subpopulation (n = 154), derived from the F1 sires mated to F1 cows from Belgian Blue sires, to evaluate animals with zero, one, or two copies of inactive myostatin allele. An overall 1:2:1 ratio (homozygous active myostatin allele:heterozygous:homozygous inactive myostatin allele) was observed in the population; however, a comparison between calves dying before weaning and those alive at slaughter showed an unequal distribution across genotypes (P < 0.01). Calves with two copies of the inactive allele were more likely (P < 0.01) to die before weaning. Postweaning growth traits were evaluated in the surviving animals (n = 1,370), including birth, weaning, and live weight at slaughter, and postweaning ADG. Carcass composition traits analyzed were hot carcass weight, fat thickness, LM area, marbling score, USDA yield grade, estimated kidney, pelvic, and heart fat, retail product yield and weight, fat yield and weight, bone yield and weight, and percentage of carcasses classified as Choice. Charolais lack the inactive myostatin allele segregating in Belgian Blue; thus, in the population sired by Charolais (n = 645), only animals with zero or one copy of the inactive myostatin allele were evaluated. Animals carrying one copy were heavier at birth and at weaning, and their carcasses were leaner and more muscled. In the population sired by Belgian Blue x British Breed (n = 725), animals with two copies of inactive myostatin allele were heavier at birth, leaner, and had a higher proportion of muscle mass than animals with zero or one copies. Heterozygous animals were heaviest at weaning and had the highest live weight, whereas animals with zero copies had the highest fat content. The use of the inactive myostatin allele is an option to increase retail product yield, but considerations of conditions at calving are important to prevent mortality.

ADSL基因启动子区遗传变异与鸡肉冻藏新鲜度的相关性分析

试验旨在探究鸡腺苷琥珀酸裂解酶（adenylosuccinate lyase,ADSL）基因启动子区多态性及其与鸡肉冻藏新鲜度的相关性。以161只青脚麻鸡为研究对象,通过DNA混池测序法检测ADSL基因启动子区遗传变异。采用等位基因特异性PCR完成个体基因型分析,并分析了各基因型与鸡胸肌肉色、体重及胸肌冷冻60 d后新鲜度K值和pH的相关性。结果显示,在ADSL基因启动子区ATG上游1 670 bp处发现1个SNP位点（c.-1670 C>A）,其AA基因型个体肌肉冷冻60 d后新鲜度K值（23.61%）极显著低于CA（33.00%）和CC（33.56%）基因型（P<0.01）,即冻藏60 d后AA基因型个体肌肉较CA和CC基因型新鲜,CA和CC基因型间新鲜度K值差异不显著（P>0.05）;各基因型间鸡体重、胸肌肉色及胸肌冷冻60 d后pH均无显著差异（P>0.05）。生物信息学预测发现,c.-1670 C>A导致ADSL基因启动子区转录因子结合位点的显著改变,该突变位点可能造成ADSL基因的表达差异。综上,ADSL基因启动子区c.-1670 C>A与青脚麻鸡胸肌冷冻60 d后新鲜度K值具有显著相关性,该位点可作为青脚麻鸡肉品新鲜度的候选分子遗传标记。

鸡肉风味候选基因AMPD1、ADSL、ATIC 的分析

对优质肉鸡肉品质利用候选基因遗传标记在基因水平上进行研究,找到对优质鸡肉品质性状有较大影响的几个基因,获得更符合市场需要,更能满足人们对鸡肉品质需求的优质肉鸡,是当前禽育种工作亟待解决的问题。肌苷酸是鸡肉质鲜味特性的主要物质基础,感官试验结果表明,肌苷酸的鲜味呈味作用显著,肉品IMP含量的差异会对肉品总体风味产生一定作用,作用大小与肌苷酸和谷氨酸钠等其它风味物的协同作用有关,因此影响肌苷酸生成的各种基因都是潜在的候选基因。腺苷一磷酸脱氨酶（AMPD1）、腺苷酸琥珀酸裂解酶（ADSL）、次黄嘌呤核苷酸环水解酶（ATIC）等3种酶是产生肌苷酸过程中3个重要的酶。作者对以上3种酶进行了分析和论述,以期为分子育种提供参考。
