Characterization of two novel casein transcripts in rabbit mammary gland.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two clones were isolated from a cDNA library corresponding to mRNAs which accumulate in mid-lactating (14 day) rabbit mammary gland and characterized by DNA sequencing. The two clones sequenced corresponded to two novel casein transcripts (pBRM5 and pBRM42). Relative mRNA abundances for the two clones were assessed by dot-blot analysis. Phylogenetic analysis and comparison of both pBRM5 and pBRM42 with other members of the casein family revealed that the rabbit may be unique among mammals in expressing two alpha s2-casein genes. The presence of two alpha s2-casein genes in the rabbit may be the result of a relatively recent intergenic duplication event.

Background: Milk proteins genes have been the focus of the researches as the candidate target genes that play a decisive role when animal breeding is desired.Objectives: In the present study, the transcriptional levels of Beta-lactoglobulin (BLG) and Alpha S1 casein (CSN1S1) genes were investigated during prenatal, milking and drying times in mammary glands of the Adani goats which showed...

The secretagogue effect of prolactin (PRL) on casein release by epithelial mammary cells has been previously related to stimulation of the phospholipase A2-arachidonic acid cascade. In order to determine whether other intracellular pathways are implicated in this secretagogue effect, different agents acting on protein kinase C (PKC) and phospholipase C (PLC) activity have been assessed in vitro...
متن کاملThe poly(A) tail length of casein mRNA in the lactating mammary gland changes depending upon the accumulation and removal of milk.
The length of casein mRNA from the lactating mouse mammary gland, as assessed on Northern blots, is shorter after weaning, but is elongated following the removal of milk. In order to investigate this phenomenon, the molecular structures of beta- and gamma-casein mRNAs were analysed. The coding and non-coding regions of the two forms were the same length, but the long form of casein mRNA had a l...

Leptin is known as a cytokine mostly produced by fat cells and implicated in regulation of energy metabolism and food intake but has also been shown to be involved in many physiological mechanisms such as tissue metabolism and cell differentiation and proliferation. In particular, leptin influences the development of mammary gland. Although leptin expression in mammary gland has been studied in...
