Hepcidin, a novel gene encoded, 25 residue, 2–3 KDa cysteine rich cationic peptide synthesized in liver cells play an important role in iron metabolism in addition to its antimicrobial activity. In this study hepcidin cDNA expressed on hepatocytes of Bubalus bubalis has been characterized and the antibacterial activity of buffalo hepcidin analog has been determined. The complete buffalo hepcidin sequence is of 324 bp and have an ORF of 249 nucleotides from 14 to 262. The sequence analysis at nucleotide level showed homology of 98.0% with cattle, 84.3% with pig, whereas with human, chimpanzee and gorilla 80.3%, 80.7% and 81.5% respectively. The percent identity of buffalo hepcidin cDNA to that of japanese macaque, dog, gibbon, mouse and norway rat are81.9%, 79.9%, 79.9%, 67.9% and 65.9% respectively. The hepcidin cDNA of buffalo and cattle showed a total difference of five nucleotides at position 15, 108, 225, 240 and 246 with no difference in deduced amino acid sequence. The base A15, C108, A225, C240, A246 in cattle are replaced by G15, G108, G225, T240 and G246 respectively in buffalo. The deduced amino acid sequence of buffalo preprohepcidin consists of 82 amino acids containing 10 strongly basic, 3 strongly acidic, 27 hydrophobic and 29 polar amino acids. The predicted molecular weight and isoelectric point (PI) for the peptide is 8883.67 Daltons and 8.804 respectively. Phylogenetic analysis both at nucleotide and amino acid level indicate that buffalo and cattle hepcidin sequences comprises one clad which is more closely related to pig compared to human. The chemically synthesized analog of buffalo hepcidin using Fmoc chemistry in solid phase had antibacterial activity.  相似文献

In this study, buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) Toll-like receptor 8 (TLR8) gene has been characterized by sequence analysis and detecting polymorphism. Complete ORF of buffalo TLR8 gene was amplified using the RNA isolated from spleen tissue, which was found to be 3,102 nucleotides long encoding a 1,033 amino acid protein. Buffalo TLR8 had 10 nucleotide changes as compared to other livestock species resulting in six unique amino acid changes, four of them lying within leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domains. As compared to cattle (Bos indicus and Bos taurus), out of fifteen cysteine residues, fourteen were conserved and Cys at position 521 was replaced by Arg. Nine of the LRR domains had no amino acid change as compared to cattle, whereas LRR-C-terminus had maximum, five amino acid changes. Sequence characterization of 12 riverine and swamp buffaloes revealed presence of four polymorphic nucleotides, two of them were non-synonymous, one synonymous and one site in 3′UTR. PCR-RFLP genotyping of non-synonymous SNP 2758A>G (ILeu920Val) in Toll–interleukin-1 receptor domain of 463 swamp and riverine buffaloes showed a higher frequency of allele A in swamp (95 %) as compared to riverine (9.84 %) buffaloes.  相似文献

Identification of genes of importance regarding production traits in buffalo is impaired by a paucity of genomic resources. Choice to fill this gap is to exploit data available for cow. The cross‐species application of comparative genomics tools is potential gear to investigate the buffalo genome. However, this is dependent on nucleotide sequences similarity. In this study, gene diversity between buffalo and cattle was determined using 86 gene orthologues. There was approximately 3% difference in all genes in terms of nucleotide diversity and 0.267 ± 0.134 in amino acids, indicating the possibility for successfully using cross‐species strategies for genomic studies. There were significantly higher non‐synonymous substitutions both in cattle and buffalo; however, there was similar difference in terms of dN– dS (4.414 versus 4.745) in buffalo and cattle, respectively. Higher rate of non‐synonymous substitutions at similar level in buffalo and cattle indicated a similar positive selection pressure. Results for relative rate test were assessed with the chi‐squared test. There was no significance difference on unique mutations between cattle and buffalo lineages at synonymous sites. However, there was a significance difference on unique mutations for non‐synonymous sites, indicating ongoing mutagenic process that generates substitutional mutation at approximately the same rate at silent sites. Moreover, despite of common ancestry, our results indicate a different divergent time among genes of cattle and buffalo. This is the first demonstration that variable rates of molecular evolution may be present within the family Bovidae.  相似文献

本试验旨在对水牛黑色素皮质素1受体(MC1R)基因进行克隆、生物信息学分析及表达模式研究。参考牛MC1R基因(GenBank登录号:JN123363.1)序列设计引物,以本地沼泽水牛、白沼泽水牛、摩拉水牛和黄牛基因组DNA为模板,应用PCR方法扩增克隆MC1R基因片段并进行测序分析。运用QRT-PCR方法检测摩拉水牛、沼泽水牛、白沼泽水牛和黄牛皮肤组织中MC1R基因的表达模式,并通过Western blotting方法检测沼泽水牛和白沼泽水牛MC1R基因的蛋白表达差异。结果表明,应用PCR方法成功克隆了水牛MC1R基因,其编码区全长954 bp,共编码317个氨基酸。测序分析后发现沼泽水牛、白沼泽水牛、摩拉水牛和黄牛MC1R基因的核苷酸序列和氨基酸序列相似性很高。沼泽水牛与白沼泽水牛在476、618、881、930和931 bp位点上分别发生T→C、G→C、G→A、G→A和A→G突变,导致了沼泽水牛和白沼泽水牛第159位氨基酸由丝氨酸变成苯丙氨酸,第310位氨基酸由谷氨酸变成丙氨酸,第294位氨基酸由天冬氨酸变成丙氨酸,发生了非同义突变。QRT-PCR结果发现,MC1R基因在摩拉水牛、沼泽水牛和黄牛皮肤组织中的相对表达量均显著高于白沼泽水牛(P<0.05);Western blotting分析结果显示,沼泽水牛皮肤组织中MC1R蛋白的表达量高于白沼泽水牛。综上所述,白沼泽水牛MC1R基因的编码区发生氨基酸位点突变,且相对表达量和蛋白表达量均低于沼泽水牛,推测此为白沼泽水牛体内合成的黑色素缺失而导致毛色白化的主因。  相似文献

Very few cytokines that are important to the understanding of T helper cell function are characterized in marsupials. Expression of a 645 bp cDNA product that codes for a predicted Interleukin-4 peptide of 157 amino acids was detected in the lymph node tissues of Macropus eugenii, the tammar wallaby. Using Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends, both 5'- and 3'-untranslated regions were identified and a polyadenylation signal and three mRNA instability motifs associated with secreted cytokine molecules were also present. The translated cDNA sequence has a putative signal peptide of 24 amino acids, a predicted secondary structure that is consistent with the short-chain alpha-helical cytokine family and 82% conservation of residues associated with the Interleukin-4 family sequence motif. Comparisons of wallaby nucleotide and predicted peptide sequences with the coding domains of other vertebrate species demonstrate the diversity within this gene family; with nucleotide and amino acid identities of 74% and 59% with opossum, 52% and 32% with human and 38% and 19% with chicken homologues respectively. Despite these differences in sequence conservation, the putative Macropus eugenii Interleukin-4 mature peptide contains conserved structural motifs and predicted receptor-binding residues that suggest that it may retain functional properties associated with this important Th2 cytokine in other mammals.  相似文献

The natural resistance associated macrophage protein 1 (Nramp1) has been reported to confer resistance or susceptibility to Mycobacterium bovis, Salmonella typhimurium, and Leishmania donovani in the mouse, Mus musculus. A Gly and Asp substitution at position 169 of the mouse Nramp protein is invariably associated with the resistant and susceptible phenotypes, respectively. The present study aimed to detect polymorphisms in the NRAMP1 gene from different cattle and buffalo breeds. Genomic DNAs from five breeds of cattle and four breeds of buffalo were used in the study. Sequencing showed two nucleotide substitutions found in intron 4, three in exon V, and ten in intron 5. An amino acid substitution was observed at nucleotide position 1202 in exon V of the Japanese black, Angus, Philippine and Bangladesh swamp-type buffaloes which coded for Thr, while the Korean cattle, Holstein, African N'dama, Indonesian swamp-type buffalo and the Bangladesh river-type buffalo had Ile. All the breeds of cattle and buffaloes tested in this study coded for Gly at the position in exon VI which corresponds to the same amino acid of the murine Nramp1-resistant phenotype at position 169. The phylogenetic relationship among the different breeds showed a cluster comprised mainly of cattle and another one mainly of buffaloes.  相似文献

Buffaloes are known for their productivity as compared to average yielding cows due to higher fat percentage, better feed conversion ability and disease resistance. On the other hand, the reproductive performances of buffaloes are often considered as poor owing to late sexual maturity, weak/silent oestrus, repeat breeder and prolonged intercalving interval. The study of cascade of events during oestrus and oestrous cycle can be useful for the improvement of reproductive efficiency of buffaloes. More precisely, the hormonal changes initiated at the molecular level within the animal determine the reproductive nature of the species. Nucleotide/protein sequence analysis serves as a vital tool in analysing the binding of the hormones for their effect or functions. In this study, we have reported cloning and characterization of the complete coding (cDNA) sequence of oxytocin receptor gene (OXTR) in buffaloes. Buffalo OXTR gene contains an uninterrupted ORF of 1176 nucleotides corresponding to an inferred polypeptide length of 391 amino acids (aa). The molecular weight of the deduced aa sequence was found to be 43 kDa with an isoelectric point of 9.253 and 16.328 charge at pH 7.0. The deduced protein sequence consists of 38 strongly basic (+) (K,R), 22 strongly acidic (?) (D,E), 186 hydrophobic (A, I, L, F, W, V) and 95 Polar (N, C, Q, S, T, Y) aa. Results indicated that aspartate (D) at aa position 85 and D, R and C at aa positions 136, 137 and 138, respectively, are conserved in buffaloes. The buffalo OXTR gene shared a per cent similarity ranging from 84.7 to 98.1 and 88.5 to 97.7 at nucleotide and deduced aa sequence levels, respectively, with that of other species. Phylogram constructed on the basis of either nucleotide or deduced aa sequences of buffalo OXTR gene showed that buffalo, cattle and sheep have diverged from human and swine and formed a separate clad. The buffalo sequence has shown maximum similarity and closeness with cattle followed by sheep both at nucleotide and at aa level.  相似文献

CD97 is a member of a novel subfamily of leukocyte proteins that are characterized by the presence of tandemly repeated extracellular epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domains and a seven-span transmembrane region, known as EGF-TM7. We here report the cloning of cDNA encoding the pig homologue of CD97. A pig CD97 specific probe was generated by PCR amplification of pig leukocyte cDNA, using primers based on consensus regions among the known sequences of mouse and human CD97. Screening of a pig aorta smooth muscle cDNA library identified one clone containing an open reading frame (ORF) that encoded an 18 amino acid putative signal peptide, a 141 amino acid sequence consisting of three EGF domains, a mucin-like spacer region of 276 amino acid, containing a G-protein coupling motif of 52 amino acids, followed by a 250 amino acid region containing seven membrane spanning domains and a 47 amino acid cytoplasmic tail. The amino acid sequence of the clone was 75, 67 and 59% homologous to cattle, human and mouse CD97 antigen, respectively. Therefore, it was termed pig CD97. Pig CD97 antigen shares many structural features with human, cattle and mouse CD97. RT-PCR analysis of cDNA from different pig cells and tissues showed that CD97 was highly expressed in leukocytes and lymph node cells. This is the first report describing the identification of a member of the EGF-TM7 family in the pig.  相似文献
