Development of single nucleotide polymorphisms in key genes of taurine and betaine metabolism in Crassostrea hongkongensis and their association with content-related traits.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Taurine and betaine are important nutrients in Crassostrea hongkongensis and have many important biological properties. To investigate the characteristics of taurine and betaine contents and identify SNPs associated with traits in the C.hongkongensis, we cloned the full-length cDNA of key genes in taurine and betaine (unpublished data) metabolism, determined taurine and betaine content and gene expression in different tissues and months of specimen collection, and developed SNPs in the gene coding region.

Results

We cloned the full-length cDNA of cysteine dioxygenase (ChCDO) and cysteine sulfite decarboxylase (ChCSAD), which are key genes involved in taurine metabolism in C. hongkongensis, and found that betaine and taurine conte
