摘要:

旨在研究绵羊TRA2B基因的结构与功能,探讨其在两品种脂尾型绵羊脂肪等不同组织中的表达和调控特性。采用RT-PCR克隆TRA2B基因编码区(CDS)并对其进行生物信息学分析; Real-time PCR检测广灵大尾羊和小尾寒羊8月龄公羊共8只心、肝、肾、小肠、睾丸、肾周及尾脂肪组织、股二头肌中TRA2B基因mRNA的表达。结果表明,TRA2B基因CDS区长867 bp,编码288个氨基酸。生物信息学分析表明,TRA2B为不稳定的水溶性蛋白,无信号肽和跨膜域,有2个O-糖基化位点和70个磷酸化位点,109~196氨基酸残基为RRM保守结构域。TRA2B基因mRNA在所检测的组织中均有一定的表达,睾丸中表达量最高,显著高于肾、肾周脂肪与尾脂(P<0.05)以及肝、股二头肌和小肠中的表达量(P<0.05),心中表达量最低(P<0.05)。品种间总mRNA表达量差异不显著(P>0.05),品种因素显著影响该基因组织间的表达(P<0.05)。TRA2B可能在绵羊繁殖及脂质代谢中发挥重要作用。为深入研究TRA2B在绵羊中的基因功能提供了理论基础。

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to explore the gene structure and function of TRA2B and characterize its expression and regulation properties in adipose and other tissues in two breeds of fat-tailed sheep. The coding sequence (CDS) of TRA2B gene was cloned using RT-PCR technology and the sequence was analyzed by bioinformatics. Eight rams from Guangling Large Tailed and Small Tailed Han respectively were slaughtered at 8 months of age, heart, liver, kidney, small intestine, testis, perirenal and tail fats as well as femoral biceps were collected to determine the mRNA expression by real-time PCR technology. The results showed that the CDS of ovine TRA2B gene was 867 bp in length, encoding 288 amino acids. The bioinformatics analysis suggested that TRA2B was a kind of unstable and hydrophilic protein with 2 potential O-glycosylation sites and 70 phosphorylation sites, while without signal peptide and transmembrane domain, a highly conserved domain of RRM was located at 109-196 amino acid residues in TRA2B. TRA2B mRNA expressed in all the investigated tissues and the highest expression was found in testis, which was significantly higher than that in kidney, perirenal and tail fats (P<0.05) as well as in liver, femoral biceps and small intestine (P<0.05), with the lowest level in heart (P<0.05). The total mRNA expression between 2 breeds was not significantly different (P>0.05), however, breed significantly affected the mRNA expression patterns in tissues (P<0.05). Taken together, the findings in this study indicated that TRA2B was possibly an important regulation factor involving reproduction performance as well as lipid metabolism in sheep. The study would lay a theoretical foundation for further exploration of the gene function of TRA2B in sheep.
