Abstract

The leptin receptor gene(LEPR) produces a high affinity receptor that mediates the regulation of the leptin gene. Leptin secreted from adipose tissue plays an important role in regulating feed intake and energy balance. In this study, a microsatellite marker within LEPR was selected and genotyped for the F2 population composed of 354 individuals from an intercross between Korean Native boars and Landrace sows. Totally, six alleles (255, 259, 261, 263, 265 and 267bp) and nineteen genotypes were detected in the population, of which the CE (261/265), CC (261/261) and EE (265/265) types were observed by 20.0%, 10.1% and 9.6%, respectively. Relationships between their genotypes and economic traits were analyzed. We found specific genotypes associated with economic traits such as body weight at 12 weeks of age/body fat including abdominal and trimmed fat/shear force (P〈0.001), body weight of 30 weeks of age (P〈0.01) and body weight of 3 weeks of age/back fat thickness (P〈0.05). The DD (263/263) and DF (263/267) types were associated with body weight at 3, 5, 12 and 30 weeks of age. The DF (263/267) type showed a highly significant effect on back fat thickness and body fat including abdominal and trimmed fat. The DF (263/267) type showed positive effect on shear force, whereas the BB (259/259) and DD (263/263) types negatively affected on tenderness.

본 연구는 재래돼지와 랜드레이스를 기초축으로 한 F$_2$ 354두에 대해 Leptin receptor와 연관되어있는 초위성체 표지인자를 이용하여 그 다형성을 조사하고 돼지의 성장형질, 도체형질, 육질형질과 그 유전자형간의 연관성을 구명코자 실시하였다. F$_2$ 354두로부터 얻어진 총 대립유전자는 255bp, 259bp 261bp, 263bp, 265bp, 267bp로써 총 6가지 형태로 나타났다. 집단 내에서 6개의 대립유전자들은 19가지의 유전자형 조합을 나타내었고 가장 많이 나타난 유전자형은 CE형 (261bp/265bp)으로 전체의 20.0%를 차지하였고 다음으로 CC(261/261)와 EE(265/ 265)가 각각 10.1%와 9.6%로 나타났으며 AC(255/261)와 EF(265/267)은 각각 1두에서만 관찰되었다. 각 유전자형간 12주령 체중이 고도의 유의성을 가지고 있었고 (P〈0.001), 3주령 체중(P〈0.05)과 30주령 체중(P〈0.01)에서도 유의성을 보였다. 특히, 성장초기와 달리 12주령 이후 돼지의 증체율은 급증하게 되고 각 개체간의 증체량에 대한 변이가 커지게 되는 것으로 나타났다. 3, 5, 12, 30주령 체중에서 DD(263/263), DF(263/267)형은 항상 상위를 나타내는 유전자형들로 나타났다. 특히 263bp 대립유전자를 가지고 있는 유전자형에 있어서 증체량에 대한 영향력이 크게 나타났다. 각 유전자형간 도체지방과 전단력도 유의성을 가지고 있었고 (P〈0.001), 등지방층 두께에서도 유의성을 보였다(P〈0.05). 그러나 근내지방함량에 대해서는 LEPR 유전자형들의 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 등지방층 두께와 도체지방에 대한 최상위 값을 갖는 유전자형은 두 형질 모두 DF (263/267)형으로 나타났다. 반면, 등지방층 두께에서 최하위 값을 갖는 유전자형은 AB (255/259), BE (259/265), AE(255/265) 순으로 나타났고, 도체지방에서는 AB(255/259), DD (263/263), AE(255/ 265) 순으로 나타났다. 특히 255, 259, 265bp 대립유전자를 갖는 개체들은 두 형질에 있어서 부의 상관관계를 갖는 것으로 판단되어진다. 전단력의 평균값이 각각 4.59kg/$cm^3$과 4.52kg/$cm^3$인 DD(263/263), BB(259/259)가 등심근육의 연도를 저하시켰고 반대로 DF(263/267) 유전자형을 갖은 개체는 더 좋은 연도를 나타내었다.
