Protein phosphatase 1 catalytic subunit gamma is a causative gene for meat lightness and redness.
The quality of meat is important to the consumer. Color is a primary indicator of meat quality and is characterized mainly into lightness, redness, and yellowness. Here, we used the genome-wide association study (GWAS) and gene-based association analysis with whole-genome resequencing of 230 fast-growing white-feathered chickens to map genes related to meat lightness and redness to a 6.24 kb QTL region (Chr15: 6298.34-6304.58 kb). This analysis revealed that only the protein phosphatase 1 catalytic subunit gamma (PPP1CC) was associated with meat color (P = 8.65E-08). The causal relationships between PPP1CC expression and meat lightness/redness were further validated through Mendelian randomization analyses (P < 2.9E-12). Inducible skeletal muscle-specific PPP1CC knockout (PPP1CC-SSKO) mice were generated and these mice showed increased lightness and decreased myoglobin content in the limb muscles. In addition, the predominant myofiber shifted from slow-twitch to fast-twitch myofibers. Through transcriptome and targeted metabolome evidence, we found that inhibition of PPP1CC decreased the expression of typical slow-twitch myofiber and myofiber-type specification genes and enhanced the glycolysis pathway. Functional validation through a plasmid reporter assay revealed that a SNP (rs315520807, C > T) located in the intron of PPP1CC could regulate the gene transcription activity. The differences in meat color phenotypes, myoglobin content, frequency of rs315520807 variant, expression of PPP1CC and fast-twitch fiber marker genes were detected between fast-growing white-feathered chickens and local chickens. In this study, PPP1CC was identified as the causative gene for meat color, and the novel target gene and variant that can aid in the innovation of meat improvement technology were detected.
