Sterol regulatory element-binding factor 1 (SREBP1) plays an important role in the lipogenesis which affects fatty acid (FA) composition in backfat and consequently influences beef nutritional quality. This study analyzed the association of 84 bp-indel, both short (S) and long (L) alleles in intron 5 of SREBP1, with FA composition and gene expression of SREBP1 in backfat of northern Spanish beef breeds (Pirenaica, Salers and Holstein-Friesian). Phylogenetic analysis suggests that 84 bp-indel of ruminants is a highly conserved region compared with those in the full-length sequence of intron 5 or mRNA of SREBP1 among species. Overall, higher content of polyunsaturated FAs was observed in SL genotype compared to LL genotype of 84 bp-Indel (p < .05). In particular, in Pirenaica, SL genotype was associated with a higher content of stearic (18:0), α-linolenic (18:3n-3) acid, and total n-3 content (p < .05). However, the gene expression of SREBP1 did not differ among genotypes of 84 bp-Indel (p > .05).
固醇调节元件结合蛋白 1(SREBP1)在脂肪生成中起着重要作用,影响背膘中的脂肪酸(FA)组成,从而影响牛肉的营养品质。本研究分析了西班牙北部肉牛品种(比利牛斯牛、萨莱尔牛和荷斯坦-弗里生牛)背膘中 SREBP1 第 5 内含子 84bp 插入/缺失(84bp-indel),包括短(S)和长(L)等位基因,与 FA 组成和 SREBP1 基因表达的关系。系统发育分析表明,与物种间 SREBP1 第 5 内含子全长序列或 mRNA 的 84bp 插入/缺失相比,84bp 插入/缺失在反刍动物中是一个高度保守的区域。总体而言,84bp-Indel 的 SL 基因型与 LL 基因型相比,多不饱和 FA 的含量更高(p<0.05)。特别是在比利牛斯牛中,SL 基因型与硬脂酸(18:0)、α-亚麻酸(18:3n-3)和总 n-3 含量的增加有关(p<0.05)。然而,84bp-Indel 各基因型之间 SREBP1 的基因表达没有差异(p>0.05)。
