Abstract: 【Objective】 This study was aimed to investigate the sequence characteristics of coding region and promoter region of the proteasome 20S subunit beta 9 (PSMB9) gene in Hu sheep,and analyze its potential transcriptional regulation mechanism and its impact on myoblast cell proliferation. 【Method】 The CDS region of PSMB9 gene in Hu sheep was obtained by cloning and sequencing,the promoter region was determined by genome position in sheep,and the characteristics of CDS and promoter region were analyzed by bioinformatics method.The phylogenetic tree based on the amino acid sequence of PSMB9 was constructed using Neighbor-Joining (NJ) method of Mega 5.0 software.The tissue expression profile of PSMB9 gene in Hu sheep was detected by Real-time quantitative PCR.The overexpression vector of PSMB9 gene in Hu sheep was constructed by double enzyme digestion.CCK-8 kit were determined to detect the proliferative capacity,Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the overexpression effect of PSMB9 gene in C2C12 cells and the expression of proliferation gene PCNA. 【Result】 The results showed that the CDS region of PSMB9 gene in Hu sheep was 660 bp,encoding 219 amino acid residues,and the similarity of nucleotide and amino acid sequences with mammals including Homo sapiens,Bos taurus,Sus scrofa and Mus musculus were high.The active sites and beta subunit interaction sites of PSMB9 were highly conserved.Phylogenetic tree analysis found that Hu sheep first clustered with Bos taurus,and then clustered with Sus scrofa,Homo sapiens and Mus musculus,indicating that PSMB9 was relatively conserved in mammals.PSMB9 gene promoter contained one CpG island,two GC-boxes (CCGCCC) and two E-boxes (CANNTG),as well as potential binding sites for various transcription factors such as SP1,KLF4,STAT3,YY1 and CREB1.Tissue expression pattern showed PSMB9 gene was widely expressed in various tissues of Hu sheep,especially highly expressed in spleen and followed by muscle.Compared with control group,overexpression of PSMB9 gene in C2C12 cell lines could extremely significantly improve the proliferation ability of cells (P<0.01),the expression of proliferation gene PCNA was extremely significantly upregulated (P<0.01). 【Conclusion】 The sequence of PSMB9 gene in Hu sheep was successfully cloned in this study,PSMB9 gene was highly conserved in mammals,the promoter region of PSMB9 gene contained important regulatory elements,CpG island and potential binding sites of transcription factors.PSMB9 gene was highly expressed in spleen and muscle of Hu sheep,and overexpression of PSMB9 gene could promote the proliferation of myoblasts.The results provided a basis for further elucidating the molecular mechanism of PSMB9 gene regulation of muscle development in Hu sheep.
