Abstract: Buffalo BMP1 gene was cloned in the present study, the BMP1 sequence was systemically analysed by bioinformatics techniques, and the expression level of BMP1 gene in different tissues were also assayed with Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (QRT-PCR).The results showed that with RT-PCR a 3 195 bp buffalo BMP1 gene was cloned and sequenced, including the whole ORF of 2 967 bp (coding 988 amino acid).The sequence multialigned results showed that buffalo BMP1 gene shared 99%, 96%, 96%, 96% and 95% of similar amino acid sequence with Bos taurus, Sus scrofa, Equus, Homa sapiens and Mus musclus, respectively.It was predicted that buffalo BMP1 protein contained a signal peptide domain, a preregion, a metalloproteinases domain, five complement-Uegf-BMP-1 domain (CUB domain) and two epitheloid growth factor-like domain (EGF-like domain).In addition, we also analyzed the expression level in different tissues through QRT-PCR, the results showed that BMP1 gene mRNA existed in all nine tissues with the most abundant expression in heart, followed by testis, ovary, genital ridge, while with lower amount of bone and other tissues, the minimal expression in liver was observed.
