To explore the effects of the mutations of and genes on energy metabolism and genetic structure, we sequenced the and genes of . Our results showed that is a conserved gene and gene is positively selected during the evolution of the giant panda population with a low genetic diversity. Population expansion was observed in the giant panda group. The T179C mutation on Haplotype7 made the production of a potential phosphorylation site. This non-synonymous mutation may occur at the post-translational modification site that have a potential effect on the function of ATP synthase, related to the maintenance of body temperature of pandas at low metabolic rates.
为了探究 基因和 基因的突变对能量代谢和遗传结构的影响,我们对 的 和 基因进行了测序。我们的结果表明, 是一个保守基因, 基因在大熊猫种群进化过程中受到正选择,且遗传多样性较低。在大熊猫群体中观察到了种群扩张。单倍型7上的T179C突变产生了一个潜在的磷酸化位点。这种非同义突变可能发生在翻译后修饰位点,对ATP合酶的功能有潜在影响,而ATP合酶与大熊猫在低代谢率下维持体温有关。
