BACKGROUND:The DGAT1 gene encodes an enzyme responsible for catalysing the terminal reaction in mammary triglyceride synthesis, and underpins a well-known pleiotropic quantitative trait locus (QTL) with a large influence on milk composition phenotypes. Since first described over 15 years ago, a protein-coding variant K232A has been assumed as the causative variant underlying these effects, following in-vitro studies that demonstrated differing levels of triglyceride synthesis between the two protein isoforms. RESULTS:We used a large RNAseq dataset to re-examine the underlying mechanisms of this large milk production QTL, and hereby report novel expression-based functions of the chr14 g.1802265AA > GC variant that encodes the DGAT1 K232A substitution. Using expression QTL (eQTL) mapping, we demonstrate a highly-significant mammary eQTL for DGAT1, where the K232A mutation appears as one of the top associated variants for this effect. By conducting in vitro expression and splicing experiments in bovine mammary cell culture, we further show modulation of splicing efficiency by this mutation, likely through disruption of an exon splice enhancer as a consequence of the allele encoding the 232A variant. CONCLUSIONS:The relative contributions of the enzymatic and transcription-based mechanisms now attributed to K232A remain unclear; however, these results suggest that transcriptional impacts contribute to the diversity of lactation effects observed at the DGAT1 locus. |
