Abstract:

The aim of this study was to investigate the structure and physicochemical index of PFN3 gene(Profilin 3)in Sangsang yak,and to detect the expression of RPL8 gene in various tissues by qPCR,so as to lay a theoretical foundation for exploring the biological function of PFN3 gene in Sangsang yak.Using cardiac tissue cDNA as template,we cloned the CDS region of PFN3 gene in yak and detected its expression in different tissues.Bioinformatics analysis is performed using a variety of software and online tools.The results showed that the PFN3 coding region of Sangsang yak was 414 bp in length,with 3 open reading frames encoding 137 amino acids.The analysis of PFN3 protein in yak showed that the aliphatic coefficient was 101.75,the theoretical isoelectric point was 9.04,and the instability index was 37.22,indicating that PFN3 protein was a stable hydrophobic protein.The protein had 4 potential phosphorylation sites and no signal peptide and transmembrane region.Glycine(Gly)accounted for 14.6% of the total amino acids.Subcellular localization showed that PFN3 protein accounted for 43.5%,30.4% and 26.1% in cytoplasm,nucleus and mitochondria,respectively.Homology comparison showed that Sangsang yak had the closest homology with wild yak,and was the most closely related to African warthog and Eurasian boar.KEGG pathway enrichment analysis of interacting proteins showed that these proteins were mainly enriched in actin cytoskeleton regulation,Rap1 signaling pathway,focused adhesion,salmonella infection and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.qPCR results showed that PFN3 gene expression in Sangsang yak was the highest in rectal tissue,significantly higher than that in other tissues,and the lowest in heart.
