Characterization, mRNA expression profile, subcellular distribution and association analysis with piglet diarrhea of porcine matrix metallopeptidase 7 (pMMP7).

Gene | 2022

Matrix metalloproteinase 7 (MMP7) is involved in the degradation of extracellular matrix in disease processes and therefore plays an important role in host disease resistance/susceptibility. To better understanding the effects of porcine MMP7 (pMMP7) on piglets diarrhea trait, we characterized pMMP7 gene, identified genetic variations in pMMP7 and explored the relationship between pMMP7 polymorphisms and piglets diarrhea in Min pig and Landrace populations. The complete coding sequence of pMMP7 is 804 bp encoding a protein of 267 amino acids. Sequence alignment showed that the identity between pMMP7 and human MMP7 was approximately 80%. The expression of pMMP7 in the gut of healthy piglets were weak and the distribution of the pMMP7-EGFP fusion protein was observed mainly in the cytoplasm. After the identification of 21 genetic variations in 5' flanking region and exons, Hae III and Eco72 Ⅰ PCR-RFLP were established to genotype SNP rs327380117 and rs329429922, respectively. Statistical analysis indicated that Landrace piglets with a TT genotype at rs327380117 had a lower diarrhea score and day-14 wt than TC piglets (p < 0.05); the diarrhea score of AA Landrace animals with rs329429922 was lower than that of GG individuals (p < 0.05). The findings presented here contribute to the understanding of the biological function of pMMP7 and may provide new molecular markers for pig breeding.

JASPAR (tool)

RRID:SCR_003030

Open source database of curated, non-redundant set of profiles derived from published collections of experimentally defined transcription factor binding sites for multicellular eukaryotes. Consists of open data access, non-redundancy and quality. JASPAR CORE is smaller set that is non-redundant and curated. Collection of transcription factor DNA-binding preferences, modeled as matrices. These can be converted into Position Weight Matrices (PWMs or PSSMs), used for scanning genomic sequences. Web interface for browsing, searching and subset selection, online sequence analysis utility and suite of programming tools for genome-wide and comparative genomic analysis of regulatory regions. New functions include clustering of matrix models by similarity, generation of random matrices by sampling from selected sets of existing models and a language-independent Web Service applications programming interface for matrix retrieval.

STRING (tool)

RRID:SCR_005223

Database of known and predicted protein interactions. The interactions include direct (physical) and indirect (functional) associations and are derived from four sources: Genomic Context, High-throughput experiments, (Conserved) Coexpression, and previous knowledge. STRING quantitatively integrates interaction data from these sources for a large number of organisms, and transfers information between these organisms where applicable. The database currently covers 5''214''234 proteins from 1133 organisms. (2013)
