Abstract
The Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas is renowned for its high zinc content, but the significant variation among individuals diminishes its value as a reliable source of zinc supplementation. The Zrt/Irt-like protein 1 (ZIP1), a pivotal zinc transporter that facilitates zinc uptake in various organisms, plays crucial roles in regulating zinc content. In the present study, polymorphisms of a ZIP1 gene in C. gigas (CgZIP1-II) were investigated, and their association with zinc content was evaluated through preliminary association analysis in 41 oysters and verification analysis in another 200 oysters. A total of 17 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified in the exonic region of CgZIP1-II gene, with c.503A>G significantly associated with zinc content. Protein sequence and structure prediction showed that c.503A>G caused a p.Met110Val nonsynonymous mutation located in the metal-binding region of CgZIP1-II, which could influence its affinity for zinc ions, thereby modulating its zinc transport functionality. These results indicate the potential influence of CgZIP1-II polymorphisms on zinc content and provide candidate markers for selecting C. gigas with high zinc content.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
