The mRNA differential display technique was performed to investigate the differences of gene expression in the longissimus dorsi muscle and backfat tissues from Chinese Meishan and Russian Large White pigs. One novel gene that was differentially expressed was identified through semiquantitative RT-PCR, and the cDNA complete sequence was then obtained using the rapid amplification of the cDNA ends (RACE) method. The cDNA sequence of this gene is not homologous to any of the known porcine genes. The sequence prediction analysis revealed that the open reading frame of this gene encodes a protein of 402 amino acids that contains the putative conserved transposase DDE domain, and further Blast analysis revealed that this protein has 100% homology with the Tn10 transposase from Oryza sativa, Serratia marcescens, and Salmonella, and, therefore, this gene can be defined as the swine Tn10 transposase gene. This novel porcine gene was finally assigned to Gene ID: 100049649. The RT-PCR analysis of the tissue expression profile was carried out using the tissue cDNAs of one Meishan pig as the templates, and the result indicated that this novel swine gene is moderately expressed in fat and weakly expressed in small intestine, liver, kidney, and spleen but almost not expressed in heart, ovary, muscle, and lung. Our experiment established the primary foundation for further research into the biological significance of swine Tn10 transposase gene.
