A STUDY OF PROTEASE INHIBITOR GENE POLYMORPHISM BUFFALO (Bubalus bubalis)
نویسنده
چکیده
Protease inhibitor (PI) genes belong to the superfamily of serine protease inhibitors that includes C1 esterase, antithrombin, and α1antichymotrypsin, among others. The primary role of PI is to protect tissues against proteolytic digestion by neutrophil elastase. PI is also found to be associated with increased milk and fat yields, increased productive life and decreased somatic cell score. The present study was carried out to reveal PCR-RFLP polymorphism of protease inhibitor exon 2 fragment in Mehsana buffaloes. The buffaloes were registered under the progeny testing programme of the Dudhsagar Research and Development Association, Mehsana, Gujarat state (India). The fragment of 448 bp of PI gene (exon 2) locus was amplifi ed by PCR and subsequently digested with restriction enzyme SfaN1. It revealed monomorphic patterns. Further representative samples were cloned and sequenced. On comparison with published cattle sequences, the nucleotide sequence variation between cattle and buffalo was present at ten nucleotide positions, i.e., 110, 141, 146, 170, 236, 257, 277, 306, 350, and 396.

Analysis of polymorphism of MHC class II BuLA DRB3 exon 2 gene in North West Iranian populations of the Water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) through PCR-SSCP
The DRB3 gene is a highly polymorphic major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II gene and plays an important role in variability of immune responsiveness and disease resistance. In the present study, the MHC class II DRB3 gene in water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) populations from Northwest regions of Iran was investigated through PCR-SSCP. Genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood samples c...

DNA polymorphism within diacylglycerol transferase 2 (DGAT2) / monoacyl glycerol transferases 2 (MOGAT2), leptin and butyrophilin genes were analysed using PCR-SSCP in Murrah buffalo. The single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis of amplified gene fragment in exon 5 of MOGAT2, exon 3 of leptin and intron 1 of butyrophilin gene revealed different patterns. A, B and C showed the fol...
متن کاملCharacterization of PRLR and PPARGC1A genes in buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)
More than 40 million households in India depend at least partially on livestock production. Buffaloes are one of the major milk producers in India. The prolactin receptor (PRLR) gene and peroxisome proliferators activated receptor-γ coactivator 1-alpha (PPARGC1A) gene are reportedly associated with milk protein and milk fat yields in Bos taurus. In this study, we sequenced the PRLR and PPARGC1A...
متن کاملDGAT1 and ABCG2 polymorphism in Indian cattle (Bos indicus) and buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) breeds
BACKGROUND Indian cattle (Bos indicus) and riverine buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) give a poor yield of milk but it has a high fat and protein percentage compared to taurine cattle. The identification of QTLs (Quantitative Trait Loci) on BTA14 and BTA6 and its subsequent fine mapping has led to identification of two non conservative mutations affecting milk production and composition. Our objective ...
