Congenital heart diseases (CHDs) affect nearly 1% of all neonates and show an increasing tendency. The complex inheritance patterns and multifactorial etiologies make these defects difficult to be identified before complete manifestation. Genetic screening has identified hundreds of specific mutant sites for CHDs based on cardiac transcriptional factors. GATA4 is a master regulator required for ventral...
Wood-feeding insects depend heavily on the secretion of a combination of cellulases, mainly endoglucanases and other glucanases such as exoglucanases and xylanases, to achieve efficient digestion of the cellulose of cellulosic materials. In this paper, we report a novel cellulose Bh-EGaseI belonging to the glycoside hydrolase family 45(gh45-1) obtained from the beetle Batocera horsfieldi. The Bh-EGaseI...
TBC1D1 plays an important role in numerous fundamental physiological processes including muscle metabolism, regulation of whole body energy homeostasis and lipid metabolism. The objective of the present study was to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in chicken TBC1D1 using 128 Erlang mountainous chickens and to determine if these SNPs are associated with carcass traits. The approach...
Apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme catalytic subunit 2 (APOBEC2) plays an important role in regulating and maintaining muscle development in mammals. In this study, we evaluated APOBEC2 mRNA abundance and protein expression and the results indicated that APOBEC2 mRNA was most abundant in skeletal and cardiac muscle, with relatively low expression in the gonads, gizzard and subcutaneous fat tissues...
The “Ming” lethal egg mutant (l-e m ) is a vitelline membrane mutant in silkworm, Bombyx mori. The eggs laid by the l-e m mutant lose water, ultimately causing death within an hour. Previous studies have shown that the deletion of BmEP80 is responsible for the l-e m mutation in silkworm, B. mori. In the current study, digital gene expression (DGE) was performed to investigate...
