Abstract:

In order to comprehensively analyze the structure and function of yak MHCⅡ gene, molecular cloning and sequencing technology was used to estimate the coding region of DRA gene of Datong yak and conduct bioinformatics analysis. The results showed a DRA gene open reading frame in the coding region containing 762 bp, a total of 253 amino acids encoding; a total of 3 SNPs (g.2376C>T, g.2851C>G, g.3016C>A). In exons 2 and 3, there was one synonymous mutation in C→T and a missense mutation (L→M) in C→A, respectively, both mutations reduced the stability of mRNA secondary structure of DRA gene. There were differences in the molecular mass, total number of atoms, fat coefficient, instability coefficient, and total average hydrophilicity of the protein encoded by the g.3016C>A mutation. Methodological analysis by bioinformatics revealed that the BoLA-DRA gene were highly conserved genes in the MHC gene family. The results laid the foundation for the structure and function of DRA in Datong yak.
