Both the CTNNBL1 (catenin, β-like1) and DGAT2 (diacylglycerol acyltransferase2) genes play important roles in adipose metabolism. In this study, we cloned these two genes in pigs. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR results showed that both genes were extensively expressed, and CTNNBL1 was at a high level in the heart and spleen, while DGAT2 was most abundant in the liver. In CTNNBL1, one synonymous mutation c.555C>T was identified in the coding region, and association analysis showed that different genotypes of CTNNBL1 were significantly associated with backfat at the shoulder and backfat at the rump (P < 0.05). In 3'-UTR of DGAT2, an A/G variation was detected by the Bcn I PCR-RFLP method, and different genotypes were significantly associated with backfat between the 6th and 7th ribs (P < 0.05). The allele frequency was tested among 188 unrelated pigs from six breeds. The results showed that for CTNNBL1, the Chinese indigenous breeds had higher frequencies of the C allele whereas the western breed had higher frequency of the T allele; and for DGAT2, allele A or G were distributed with no obvious difference in allele frequency. IMpRH was employed to localize these two genes, and CTNNBL1 was assigned to SSC17q21-23 and DGAT2 was assigned to SSC9p23-p24. The results suggest that the porcine CTNNBL1 and DGAT2 genes affect porcine fat deposition and further investigation will be necessary to illustrate the underlying mechanisms. |
