Rothschild21 Department of Biological Science, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, CA 92697, USA2Department of Animal Science and Center for Integrated Animal GenomicsIowa State University, Ames, Iowa 50011, USA Sow productive life plays an important role in the economic efficiency of pork production. Several genes have been isolated in model organisms and humans that are associated with lifespan. Our hypothesis is that these same genes or regulatory pathways are also important for sow productive life. Angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) has been identified as being key to several diseases known to shorten human lifespan. In human, the ACE gene is located on chromosome 17, but it has not been mapped in the pig. Three primer sets were designed to amplify the pig ACE sequence and are anchored in exons and spanned introns covering from exon 1- exon 2, exon 9-exon 10, and exon 12 - exon 13 based on pig sequence and human intronic sizes based on Ensembl. Sequence results from the primer set designed to amplify sequence from exon 12- exon 13 showed an exonic C/T single nucleotide polymorphism located 95 bases from the start of the amplified fragment. The restriction enzyme AluI was used to perform PCR-RFLP test on this SNP in the Berkshire x Yorkshire Resource Family. The genotypes were used to linkage map this loci using CRIMAP. The results showed that ACE is located between microsatellite markers S0229 and SW874 on pig chromosome 12 (SSC12), as expected by comparative mapping with the human location. Radiation Hybrid (RH) mapping confirmed that ACE is located on pig chromosome 12. The association studies of this SNP with sow productive life are ongoing. FIGURE 1. CHROMATOGRAM FIGURE 2.ACE LINKAGE MAP C/T C cM T MATERIAL AND METHODS RESULTS AND DISCUSSION REFERENCES • Sequencing of PCR products, using the designated primers, revealed 17 single nucleotide polymorphisms, of which five were verified by PCR-RFLP tests (Table 2). • An exonic C/T SNP in the amplified fragment from exon 12 - exon 13 was identified in the sequence chromatogram (Figure 1). • ACE mapped to SSC12 between microsatellites, S0029 and SW874, (Figure 2) on pig chromosome 12, which was expected when compared to human map. • RH mapping confirmed the location of ACE on pig chromosome 12 between markers RH and SW957. • Green, P., Falls, K. and Crooks, S.
