Abstract:

HOX genes express in nearly all eukaryotic cells such as yeast and human.To study tissue expression and bioinformatics of HOXC10 gene,the samples of heart,liver,spleen,lung,kidney,chest muscle,leg muscle,hypothalamus and ovary tissues were collected from 6 Jinghai Yellow chicken with 8-week-old to analyze the expression pattern of HOXC10 gene in different tissues by qRT-PCR method,and the different expression level were detected in ovary of 300 days old chickens in high yield group and low yield group.The bioinformatics of HOXC10 gene were analyzed by a variety of online softwares of Gallus gallus.The result showed that the expression level of HOXC10 gene in leg muscle was extremely significantly higher than that in other tissues of Jinghai Yellow chicken (P < 0.01);And it's expression level in low yield group was significantly higher than that in high yield group (P < 0.05);HOXC10 gene of Gallus gallus shared 77.4%,94.8%,98.6%,68.3%,67.9%,66.0%,59.0%,68.1% and 79.4% with Meleagris gallopavo,Columba,Anas platyrhynchos,Homo sapiens,Mus musculus,Bos taurus,Sus scrofa,Capra aegagrus hircus and Xenopus laevis,respectively;HOXC10 gene encoded 354 amino acids in which serine was the most abundant;There were 24 potential phosphorylation sites and a HD in 280 to 342 position of amino acid sequence;The subcellular of the encoding protein was mainly located in the cell nucleus,and it had no cross membrane structure.HOXC10 gene might play an important role in regulation network of growth and reproduction in Jinghai Yellow chicken.
