摘要
激素敏感脂肪酶(HSL)是动物体脂肪分解的关键酶。采用PCR-SSCP法研究猪HSL基 因的启动子区、部分5’一端转录非翻译区、第7外显子区、第8外显子区和3’一端部分转录非翻 译区域DNA多态性。结果在对应于HSL基因第8外显子区域发现1DNA片段的SSCP,表现 出3种基因型MM、MN和NN,脂肪型猪种梅山猪和通城猪含有更多的等位基因M(频率分别 为0.690和0.740),而瘦肉型猪种大白猪和长白猪则含有更多的等位基因N(频率分别为0.847 和 0.845);该 DNA片段经测序分析,发现位于基因cDNA第 2 249和 2 280处发生碱基序列的 改变(均为 A→G),使天冬酰胺变为天冬氨酸(Asn→Asp)和谷氨酸变为甘氨酸(Glu→Cly)。
Hormone sensitive lipase (HSL) is a key enzyme in fat metabolism. The polymorphism of the pig HSL gene is studied in this paper. The SSCP (Single Strand Conformational Polymorphism) is found in the HSL gene Exon 8. It shows three genotypes (MM,MN,NN). Fat-type pig breeds of Meishan and Tongcheng pigs have more allele M with frequencies of 0.690M and 0.740M respectively; however, lean-type pig breeds of Landrace and the Large White Pigs have more allele N with frequencies of 0.847N and 0.845N, respectively. PCR fragments representing HSL genotypes MM and NN are sequenced. Two A-G transitions are detected, and it resulted in corresponding changes of amino acid (Asn-Asp and Glu-Gly) in the HSL protein, respectively. The HSL gene can be considered as a candidate gene for fatness in pigs.
