Abstract: 【Objective】 This study was aimed to explore the biological characteristics of the protein encoded by CC chemokine receptor 7(CCR7) gene and the expression of mRNA in breast tissues of healthy and inflammatory dairy cows.【Method】 The CDS region of CCR7 gene in Chinese Holstein dairy cows was amplified by PCR method and cloned,the similarity alignment and phylogenetic tree construction were carried out after sequencing.The composition,physicochemical properties and structure of CCR7 protein were analyzed by bioinformatics softwares.The expression difference of CCR7 gene in breast tissues between healthy and inflammatory dairy cows were detected by Real-time quantitative PCR.【Result】 The full-length of CCR7 gene CDS region in Chinese Holstein dairy cows was 1 325 bp,which had high similarity (95.2%) and close genetic relationship with sheep;And had low similarity (56.4%) and far genetic relationship with chicken.CCR7 gene encoded 379 amino acids,among which the content of leucine was the most,the content of valine was the second,and the content of histidine and tryptophan were the lowest.The molecular weight of CCR7 protein was 14.56 ku,the theoretical isoelectric point was 8.89,and the average hydrophilic coefficient was 0.640,it was a transmembrane hydrophobic protein.The cleavage site of signal peptide might exist between amino acids 24 and 25.The structure of alpha helix was the most in the secondary structure,as high as 51.72%,and the tertiary structure was mainly alpha helix and random coil.The expression of CCR7 gene in breast tissue of inflammatory dairy cows was extremely significantly higher than that in healthy dairy cows (P<0.01),which might play an important role in the immune regulation of dairy cows mastitis.【Conclusion】 The CDS region of bovine CCR7 gene was successfully cloned,and the corresponding bioinformatics analysis and tissue quantitative expression were carried out,which provided materials for further study of the specific functions of CCR7 gene,and was of great significance to explore the regulatory function of CCR7 gene in dairy cow mastitis.
