Polymorphism of Insulin-induced gene 1 (INSIG1) of three local beef cattle in Indonesia

Insulin-induced gene 1 (INSIG1) encoded protein that blocked of proteolysis activity from protein sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBP). The role gene plays of cholesterol, fatty acid, and glucose metabolism. Indonesia has many several beef cattle which has good quality of growth trait. The aim of this study was to identify polymorphism of INSIG1 gene (SNP 4366 (A>G) and 4534 (T>C)) of three local beef cattle in Indonesia (Bali, Pasundan and Ongole Decendent). One hundred and twenty seven samples were used in this study consisting of Bali cattle (46) from Pulukan Bali Island, Pasundan (36) from UPTD BPPT Beef cattle Ciamis West Java and Ongole Grade (OD) (45). DNA was extracted from whole blood using High Salt method then genotyping used PCR-RFLP method with RsaI and TaqI enzymes. Parameters in this study were genotype and allele frequencies, heterozigosity observed (Ho), expected (He), Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE) and Polymorphism Information Content (PIC). Result showed that a 428 bp of DNA fragment was successfully amplified and digested. Three variant of genotypes with two alleles were identified. For SNP 4366 (A>G) were AA, AG and GG with dominant of G allele while SNP 4534 (T>C) were CC, CT and TT with dominant C allele. Both of SNPs in each of breed populations was in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium and polymorphic. Additionally, PIC value reached moderate. In conclusion, polymorphism was found in beef cattle and it could be early study for genetic diversity
