牦牛黑素皮质素受体-4基因的克隆与序列分析

对牦牛黑素皮质素受体-4（MC4R）基因进行了克隆和序列分析,以期为进一步开展牦牛MC4R基因与其肥胖性状的相关分析以及基因定位、表达调控等研究提供理论基础。首先采用特定引物对牦牛MC4R基因进行PCR扩增、克隆和测序,然后用B ioEd it7.0.0软件拼接MC4R基因全序列,用DNAMAN5.2.2软件对编码序列进行翻译,用DNAStar6.13比对后比较基因和氨基酸序列同源性。实验获得牦牛MC4R基因全长1343bp,其中编码序列全长999bp,共编码332个氨基酸残基的蛋白质。牦牛MC4R基因序列与普通牛、人、食蟹猴、猪、狗、大鼠、小鼠、鸡、斑马鱼、金鱼、东方鲀和河豚的同源性分别是99.5%、85.5%、84.9%、88.1%、86.7%、83.9%、83.8%、75.5%、61.2%、59.5%、65.3%和64.6%,由此推导的氨基酸序列同源性分别是99.1%、91.9%、91.9%、93.1%、92.2%、90.4%、89.8%、84.0%、66.7%、65.7%、67.2%和66.7%。本研究成功的克隆了牦牛的MC4R基因,表明其在物种间具有较高的保守性。

Cloning and sequence analysis of melanocortin receptor-4 gene in yak

Melanocortin Receptor-4(MC4R) Gene in Yak was cloned and sequenced,in order to provide theoretical foundation for further research of the corelevantion of MC4R gene in yak and fat traits,location and expression i.e.MC4R gene of yak was amplified using particular primers,cloned by T-A method and sequenced,and spliced by using BioEdit7.0.0.then translated by using DNAMAN5.2.2.All MC4R sequences were aligned and compared in percent identity by using DNAStar6.13.The length of MC4R gene in yak was 1343bp,in whic...
