Identification of the homozygous recessive genotype for the deficiency of uridine monophosphate synthase in 35-day bovine embryos

Abstract: Holstein-Friesian cattle heterozygous for the deficiency of uridine monophosphate (UMP) synthase have half-normal activity of UMP synthase. The homozygous recessive genotype would result in little or no activity, has not been observed among live animals and apparently leads to embryonic mortality at approximately Day 40 of gestation. Activity of UMP synthase averaged 2.74 +/- 0.61 units/mg protein for 19 obligatory normal embryos (from normal x normal matings). Activity for 18 embryos from heterozygote x heter… Show more

“…Because pyrimidines are heavily required for nucleic acid synthesis during embryonic development, embryos that are homozygous for the recessive mutant allele die before day 40 of gestation (Schwenger et al, 1994;Ghanem et al, 2006). Heterozygotes are phenotypically normal but show half of the normal activity of the UMPS enzyme, which in turn causes elevated levels of orotic acid in their milk and urine (Shanks and Robinson, 1989;Shanks et al, 1992).…”

“…Pirimidin nükleotid sentezinin son aşamasında orotik asit üridin monofosfat senteaz enzimi (UMPS) tarafından üridin monofosfata (UMP) dönüştürülür (13). UMPS yokluğu, canlıda önemli sağlık sorunlarına neden olur (10,15). UMPS enzimini sentezleyen genin 405. kodonunda meydana gelen bir nokta mutasyonu, sığırlarda UMPS geninde erken bir stop kodonu oluşarak fonksiyonel olarak bozuk bir enzim sentezletir (5,8).…”

“…Çiftlik hayvanlarında embriyonik ölümler ve bunların nedenlerinin belirlenmesi ancak dişi hayvanın tohumlamanın gebelik ile sonuçlanmaması ile anlaşılabilir (14,15). UMPS enziminin eksikliği, embriyonik ölümlere neden olan bir kaç nedenden biri olduğu için süt sığırı yetiştiriciliğinde özellikle üzerinde durulması gereken kalıtsal bir bozukluktur (15).…”
