Markers within the regulatory region of the growth hormone receptor gene and their association with milk-related traits in Holsteins.

چکیده
We studied sequence variations in the regulatory region of the bovine growth hormone receptor gene. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based method for detecting AluI, AccI, and StuI restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) in the 5' flanking region of the bovine growth hormone receptor gene was developed and tested for association with milk-related traits in Holstein bulls. Allele frequencies of the polymorphisms in two groups of Holstein progeny-tested bulls born from 1950 to 1970 and in the 1980s, respectively, were estimated. The allele frequency of the AluI(-) allele was 0.63 and 0.42 in the bulls from 1950 to 1970 and in the 1980s, respectively. The frequency of the StuI(-) allele was 0.14 and 0.07 in the two respective bull groups. Allele frequency for AccI(-) allele was about 0.22 in both bull groups. The differences in allele frequencies for the AluI polymorphism in the two bull groups were significantly different (P < or = .005). The AluI(+/+) bulls had a higher estimated breeding value (EBV) for fat (P < or = .016) than AluI(-/-) bulls. The average effect of allele substitution for the AluI polymorphism was +/- 8 for fat EBV. The AluI polymorphism could be further evaluated for use in marker-assisted selection in dairy cattle.

The growth hormone receptor (GHR) is a member of cytokine/hematopoietin family that mediates the biological actions of growth hormone (GH) on target tissues. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the association of TG-repeat polymorphisms in the 5’-flanking region of bovine GHR gene with milk production traits and somatic cell score (SCS) in Holstein cattle of Iran. The part of 5’...

Prophet of POU1F1 (PROP1) plays direct or indirect important roles in the morphogenesis of pituitary gonadotropes as well as lactotropes, somatotropes and caudomedial thyrotropes. It also controls the expression of growth hormone, prolactin and thyrotropin subunits through regulatory PIT1 factor. These hormones have important influences on production traits in most animal species including the ...

Lactoferrin (Lf) is a bioactive protein present in all external secretions such as milk that plays important role in the innate host defense. Therefore, the Lf has a major role in bovine mammary gland defense during mastitis. In this study, 5’-flanking region of bovine Lf gene containing three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at positions −602 (T/G), −600 (A/G) ...
