Abstract: The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) site of four exons of SLA-DRA gene in Bamei, Juema and Gansu Black pigs were screened via polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and DNA sequencing analysis, and further secondary structure of mRNA, secondary and tertiary structures of DRA protein were predicted through the bioinformatics tools. The results showed that 6 SNP sites were detected, including A177G, located in exon 1, A3093C, located in exon 2, A4167G, A4246G, C4282T and G4293A, located in exon 4, and among these SNP sites, A3093C, A4167G and G4293A were missense mutation, A3093C led to methionine (Met) into leucine (Leu), A4167G led to glutamine (Gln) into arginine (Arg), and G4293A led to arginine (Arg) into histidine (His). Based on the 3 missense SNPs, 6 haplotypes were constructed, in which H1, H3 and H6 were the main haplotypes with frequencies 0.25, 0.21 and 0.21, respectively. The results of bioinformatics showed that secondary structure of mRNA, secondary and tertiary protein structures of DRA haplotypes in three pigs were different from those in wild type. The consequence would provide basis for study of breed conservation and molecular breeding in disease resistance for Bamei, Juema and Gansu Black pigs.
