Promoter identification and analysis of key glycosphingolipid biosynthesis-globo series pathway genes in piglets

Glycosphingolipid biosynthesis-globo series pathway genes (FUT1, FUT2, ST3GAL1, HEXA, HEXB, B3GALNT1, and NAGA) play an important regulatory role in the defense against Escherichia coli F18 in piglets. In this study, we identified the transcription initiation site and promoter of this gene cluster by mined previous RNA-seq results using bioinformatics tools. The FUT.. Read More»

To assess the relationship between the expression of a(1,2)-fucosyltransferase (FUT1 and FUT2) genes and resistance to Escherichia coli F18 in weaned pigs, FUT1 and FUT2 expression levels in Large White, Meishan, and Sutai pigs (with resistance to E. coli F18) were determined using real-time PCR. The results revealed that FUT1 and FUT2 expression levels were higher in the liver, lungs, kidneys,.. Read More»
