Abstract

F-box proteins are quite significant ubiquitin-proteasome pathway regulators in eukaryotic cells. FBXO40, a member of this large family, alters its expression pattern in muscle atrophy. Here we isolated most of the verified porcine FBXO40 coding sequence (CDS) (2258 bp) and assigned it to the porcine chromosome 13q4.1-4.6 by using the INRA-Minnesota porcine radiation hybrid panel, and we also explored the tissue expression distributions, which is relatively high in longissimus dorsi muscle, heart, low in kidney, small intestine, brain, hypophysis, lymphonode, thymus, spleen, large intestine, ovary, stomach, and undetectable in testis, liver, uterus and thyroid gland. Inferring phylogenetic tree was constructed to study the evolutionary implications. Moreover, a HindII (HincII)-RFLP (A/C) polymorphism in 3′-untranslated region (3′-UTR) of porcine FBXO40 gene was demonstrated by sequencing and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis. Statistical analysis result of this polymorphism showed that the allele A was predominant in all detected indigenous breeds, but C in western introduced commercial breeds. The SNP was further analyzed in our experimental pig population including Tongcheng, Landrace, Large White, and crossbreds of Large White × (Landrace × Tongcheng) and Landrace × (Large White × Tongcheng). The association analysis results indicated that the A/C base substitution was associate with some hematological indexes, the hemoglobin concentration (P < 0.0001), mean corpuscular volume hemoglobin concentration (P = 0.0002) and mean corpuscular volume (P = 0.0138).
