Abstract. The aim of research is to monitor the genetic diversity of Kazakh White-Headed breed, taking into account the GHL127Vand GHR F279Ypolymorphisms. Research methods. The object of the study were cows (n = 57 heads) and young animals (calves and heifers, n = 50 heads) from the breeding farm "Krasnyy Oktyabr'", Volgograd region. Whole blood of animals served as the biomaterial; genotyping was carried out according to the polymorphisms GHL127Vin growth hormone gene and GHR F279Y in growth hormone receptor gene by PCR-RFLP method. Results. The study of the gene pool by polymorphisms of the somatotropic axis genes in Kazakh White-Headed cattle showed that the representatives of mature herd and young animals had L (PL = 0.660-0.728) and V (PV = 0.272-0.340) alleles in the locus of growth hormone gene, as well as F (PF = 0.412-0.550) and Y (PY = 0.450-0.588) in the locus of growth hormone receptor gene. Genotypes distribution in growth hormone gene polymorphism was more balanced according to the Hardy-Weinberg law, but the population significantly (P < 0.05) deviated from the equilibrium state according to the genetic frequencies in growth hormone receptor gene. Differences in genetic frequencies for the growth hormone gene did not reach a significant level (x2 = 4.451; P = 0.108) between cows and young animals. Тогда как по гену рецептора гормона роста отмечались значительные различия (x2 = 12,103; P = 0,002) по встречаемости носителей гомозиготных генотипов, что обусловливалось использованием в воспроизводстве стада гетерозиготного по этому полиморфизму быка-производителя. Whereas, there were significant differences (x2 = 12.103; P = 0.002) in the frequencies of homo-zygous genotypes carriers for the growth hormone receptor gene, which was due to the use of heterozygous sire for this polymorphism in the reproduction of the herd. Scientific novelty. For the first time, data on the assessment of the genetic structure of the Kazakh White-Headed mature herd and replacement young animals of Volgograd © selection were obtained according to the polymorphisms GHL127Vand GHR F279Y, associated with indicators of meat productivity. The results of the analysis of the genetic structure of the herd indicate the possibility of directed Z changes in the gene pool of the population in just one generation, which creates the prerequisites for the introduc- l tion of marker-assisted selection. |

group characteristics of animals, regardless of paratypi-cal factors. The combination of genetic monitoring and traditional zootechnical methods increases the efficiency of selection in breeding herds [4, p. 86].

The selection of animals according to the intensity of average daily gain and meat traits is important in breeding work with cattle in high-quality beef production [5, p. 8]. These traits have a relatively high herita-bility according to numerous studies, which indicates the existence of genetic factors that determine the listed economic traits in cattle. Thus, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in growth hormone (GH) and growth hormone receptor (GHR) genes involved in the somatotropic axis are associated with growth and development, carcass weight, rib eye area, and other selectable traits in beef cattle [6, p. 54]. Thereby, studying the state of the population gene pool for GH and GHR genes, evaluation and predicting its dynamics over time, and determining the limits of acceptable changes is of high economic importance in beef cattle breeding [7, p. 39].

These studies are especially relevant for domestic (Kalmyk and Kazakh White-Headed) beef breeds, because the improvement of their breeding traits for a long time took place due to the internal genetic resources. So, selection work with Kazakh White-Headed breed was based on breeding along lines that were founded on a limited number of outstanding prepotent sires with the large-scale use of artificial insemination in breeding herds [8, p. 207]. This means that sires had to stable pass on their heredity to progeny. At the next stage of breeding work, a strict selection of successors was carried out according to the results of a test by own productivity for further consolidation of the genealogical line. As a result, the current state of the genetic resources tends to decrease in diversity, which ultimately affects the decrease in phenotype variability in Kazakh White-Headed breed.

A large number of livestock (4th place among beef cattle) and a wide distribution area of Kazakh White-Headed breed, which occupies various natural and climatic zones of Russia, make it possible to minimize the negative effects of reducing genetic variability. In addition, ecological differentiation provided favorable conditions for the development of domestic cattle breeding, enriched its hereditary potential of productivity, and regular exchange of genetic material allows maintaining the unity of the breed using modern genetic and genomic methods [9, p. 9-10].

Information about the distribution of genetic variability between different generations of a breeding herd has important effects for selection and improving beef cattle breeds. Reliable assessment of population diversity for significant genes is critical for identifying the genetic relationships between different breeding groups and development an effective breeding system for breed improving. At the same time, selection for genes of the

same physiological and biological pathway increases the efficiency of gene pool improving in beef cattle.

Due to the need for study the dynamic processes in the gene pool of Kazakh White-Headed cattle, the purpose of our work was to evaluate the genetic variability of the breed in two successive generations, taking into account the polymorphisms GH L127V of the growth hormone gene and GHR F279Y of the growth hormone receptor gene.

Methods

The object of the study was the population of Kazakh White-Headed cattle from the APC breeding farm "Krasnyy Oktyabr'" in Volgograd region. Cows (n = 57 heads) and young animals (bull-calves and heifers, n = 50 heads) were genotyped for polymorphisms GH L127V of the growth hormone gene and GHR F279Y of the growth hormone receptor gene. All young animals were obtained by artificial insemination from sire No. 3207 with GHLV and GHRFY genotype. Whole blood was taken from animals for genotyping, from which DNA was isolated using the "DIAtomtaD-NAPrep" kit (IsoGeneLab, Moscow). The "GenePak-PCRCore" kits (IsoGeneLab, Moscow) were used for PCR. Genotyping was performed by PCR-RFLP on a "Tertsik" programmable thermal cycler (DNA-technol-ogy, Russia) to assess the polymorphisms of the growth hormone (GH) and growth hormone receptor (GHR) genes, using primers synthesized at the "Lytech" Co. Ltd.: GH L127V - (F: 5'-gct-gct-cct-gagcct-tcg-3' and R: 5'-gcg-gcg-gca-ctt-cat-gac-cct-3'), GHR F279Y -(F: 5'-ata-tgt-agc-agt-gac-aat-at-3'and R: 5'-acg-ttt-cac-tgg-gtt-gat-ga-3').

PCR program:

1) for GH L127V polymorphism: "hot start" -5 minutes at +95 °C; 35 cycles: denaturation - 45 seconds at +94 °C, annealing - 45 seconds at +65 °C, extension - 45 seconds at +72 °C; final extension - 7 minutes at +72 °C;

2) for GHR F279Y polymorphism: "hot start" -5 minutes at +95 °C; 35 cycles: denaturation - 30 seconds at +95 °C, annealing - 60 seconds at +60 °C, extension - 30 seconds at +72 °C; final extension -10 minutes at +72 °C.

Restriction endonucleases were used to restrict amplified gene regions: for GH L127V - AluI; for GHR F279Y - SspI. The recognition site for AluI endonu-clease is the nucleotide sequence AGjCT. Restriction endonuclease AluI recognizes the allele containing C nucleotide (GHL). If the allele contains a G nucleotide (GH), then the restriction site disappears. The recognition site for the SspI endonuclease is the AATjATT nucleotide sequence. Restriction enzyme cuts the amplificate containing the T nucleotide (GHRF). If the allele contains the A nucleotide (GHRY), then the restriction site disappears.

Restriction analysis was carried out at +37 °C. Identification of products for the growth hormone gene was:

GH™ - 223 bp; GHLV - 223, 171, 52 bp; GHLL - 171, 52 bp; for the growth hormone receptor gene: GHRYY -182 bp; GHRFF - 158, 24 bp; GHRFY- 182, 158, 24 bp. The digested products were separated by horizontal electrophoresis in 1x Tris-borate buffer at a voltage of 80 V in a 2.5 % agarose gel with visualization in ethidium bromide. After that, the gel was analyzed in ultraviolet light on a "UVT-1" transilluminator, the "VITran v. 1.0" system was used for photographing. Fragment length was determined using the "GenePakR DNA Ladder M 50" (IsoGene Lab, Moscow) molecular weight marker.

The studies were carried out on the equipment of Laboratory of Immunogenetics and DNA Technologies of All-Russian Research Institute of Sheep Breeding and Goat Breeding - Branch FSBSI North Caucasian Federal Agricultural Research Center (certificate PZh-77 No. 008326 from 18.04.2018) and in Federal Research Centre of Biological Systems and Agrotechnologies RAS.

The genotypes frequency was determined by the formula:

p = n / N ,

where p - genotype frequency;

n - the number of individuals that have a certain genotype,

N - the number of individuals.

The allelic frequency was determined by the formula:

PA = (.2nAA + nAB) * 2N,

where PA -frequency of A allele; N - a total number of individuals. The error of genotypic and allelic frequencies were determined by the formulas:

Heterozygote excess value (Selender coefficient) was calculated by the formula:

, = \P(1-P) , = \P(1-P) p V N ' p V 2N where Sp - the error of frequencies; p - frequency in sample; N - number of individuals. The expected frequencies of genotypes in the studied population were calculated according to the Hardy - Weinberg law.

D =

Ho-He H

where Ho and He - observed and expected heterozygosity.

The data analysis was carried out using "Statistica 10.0" ("Stat Soft Inc.", USA) program in algorithms of non-parametric statistics. The accordance of the observed and expected genotypes with genetic equilibrium was checked by the Chi-square method (x2). In this case, the deviation of observed from expected frequencies of genotypes is significant at x2 > 5.99. The significance of differences in the allelic and genotypic frequencies was determined by the criterion x2 with the Yates amendment.

Results

Analysis of genetic structure of the herd by GH L127V polymorphism indicates the presence of 3 genotypes (LL-LV-VV) in the studied age categories of animals (Table 1), and the distribution of polymorphic variants in growth hormone gene corresponded to the expected distribution according to the Hardy -Weinberg equilibrium (x2 = 0.018 ... 0.571; P > 0.05). However, the genotypes frequencies varied both within groups and between generations of the Kazakh White-Headed herd. The general trend for cows and young animals was a low frequency of the homozygous GHVV genotype, which varied from 0.070 in the mature part of the population to 0.140 in progeny. On the contrary, the homozygous GHLL variant had a dominant distribution in the herd, unifying 46.0-52.6 % of individuals in studied age groups.

Cows differed by a high frequency of LL genotypes (by 0.066) and LV (by 0.004) relative to their progeny. While the young animals were superior by 0.070 in proportion of individuals with VV variant of the growth hormone gene compared to the mature part of the herd. However, differences between age groups did not reach a significant level (x2 = 4.451; P = 0.108).

The allelic frequency also differed between generations of the herd, while the frequency of the prevailing L -allele of the growth hormone gene varied from 0.660 to 0.728 with a maximum value in mature part of the population. The highest distribution of the alternative V-allele was noted in the group of young animals, which exceeded the maternal contingent by 0.068 (P = 0.0012).

Genotyping of the Kazakh White-Headed herd by the GHR F279Ypolymorphism of the growth hormone receptor gene showed a discrepancy between the gene pool and the equilibrium state according to the Hardy-Weinberg law. Thus, the deviation of the observed genotypes frequency from the expected one was significant (X2 = 8.905; P = 0.012) for the whole herd. However, if we consider age categories separately, then the distribution of genotypes did not differ significantly from the optimal ratio (x2 = 2.746; P = 0.253) in the group of young animals. On the contrary, the mature contingent was close to the non-equilibrium state of the gene pool (X2 = 5.524; P = 0.063). In addition, heterozygous individuals were most widespread in the sample of young animals with a superiority of 0.020-0.120 compared to carriers of the homozygous GHRFF and GHRYY genotypes, respectively. On the contrary, the highest frequency (0.421) was found in GHRYY genotype in the gene pool of cows, which exceeded the proportion of heterozygous carriers and GHRFF variant of the growth hormone receptor gene by 8.8-17.5 %, respectively.

There were significant differences (x2 = 12.103; P = 0.002) in the distribution of homozygous genotypes carriers when compare the gene pool structures of two age groups for the growth hormone receptor gene. So, individuals with GHRYY variant (0.260) hold the minimum distribution among the young animals, while this genotype was predominant in the sample of the mature contingent with a superiority of 16.1 % relative to the progeny. The reverse trend was revealed when analyzing the frequency of GHR¥¥ variant of the growth hormone receptor gene, just as the proportion of young carriers exceeded the similar genotype by 11.4 % in cows. The differences were minimal (4.7 %) between the number of heterozygous individuals in two generations of Kazakh White-Headed cattle.

Features of the genetic structure according to the polymorphism in growth hormone receptor gene were associated with different allelic frequencies in a separate age categories of the population. Characteristically, there was a relatively low difference (0.100- 0.176) in distribution of alternative alleles in GHR gene compared to that recorded in GH gene (0.320-0.456) both for the dams' and for young animals' contingent. In addition, the rank according to the allelic frequency in growth hormone receptor gene was not the same in different generations of animals. Thus, there were individuals with the Y-allele with the highest frequency among the mature contingent, and the advantage was on the side of the F-allele carriers in the group of young animals. The difference in the distribution of the corresponding alleles was 0.138 between the studied age categories of the herd.

The studied Kazakh White-Headed herd was characterized by different levels of intrapopulation variability depending on the analyzed polymorphism and age group (Table 2). The observed heterozygosity (Ho) for the growth hormone gene averaged 0.402 and exceeded this parameter for the growth hormone receptor gene by 0.047 in the population. However, the expected heterozygosity (H) had an inverse distribution rank in the context of the studied genes. Thus, this indicator for GHR F279Y polymorphism was 0.499, which exceeded the theoretical genetic diversity for the growth hormone gene by 0.076 during herd genotyping.

A common feature for the studied age groups and the analyzed nucleotide substitutions was the excess of the expected heterozygosity over the observed one, except GH L127V polymorphism in the mature part of the herd, where the difference was 0.008 between H and He. This indicates a certain decrease in the genetic diversity level due to non-random crossing and the pressure of artificial selection, as well as an increase in population inbredness. A more significant difference between the observed and expected variability parameter was noted in growth hormone receptor gene according to the heterozygosity test, which varied in animals of different generations within -0.115 ... -0.152, and on average for the herd reached -0.144, which differed by -0.123 from the corresponding index in GH L127V

polymorphism.

The deficiency of heterozygotes in Kazakh White-Headed population is also confirmed by the Selender coefficient (D), which had negative values in all cases (except for cows genotyped for GH L127V polymorphism). This indicates a deviation of the herd gene pool from the optimal state.

Discussion and Conclusion

Scientists and practitioners pay special attention to the gene pool state in domestic herds for genes that are reliably associated with meat qualities of animals to implement the program for the genetic improvement of beef cattle. Somatotropic axis genes (GH, GHR, Pit-1, IGF-1) fully satisfy this requirement, as they encode proteins that make up a single humoral chain and providing the growth and differentiation of organs and tissues [10, p. 58].

The bovine growth hormone gene is located on 19 chromosome and is approximately 1793 bp long, consists of 5 exons and 4 introns [11, p. 9]. The gene product (growth hormone) is secreted in somatotropic or acidophilic cells of the mammalian anterior pituitary gland [12]. Many researches have been carried out to study the structure of bGH as well as its SNP due to the critical role of GH in improving animal performance [13, p. 157; 14; 15, p. 5]. At least 10 single nucleotide polymorphisms have been identified in growth hormone gene: four in promoter region, one in region of the first exon, one in third intron, and four in fifth exon. Our studies was based in analysis of the genetic structure of Kazakh White-Headed herd according to GH g.2141C > G (GH L127V) polymorphism, which results in a non-synonymous replacement of leucine for valine (Leu > Val) amino acids in 127codon of the gene. This mutation is associated with different concentrations of growth hormone in the blood serum of bulls, what can affect unequal average daily gains in carriers of different genotypes. We identified three genotypes with different frequencies when genotyping Kazakh White - Headed cattle according to the GH L127V polymorphism. Carriers of LL genotype hold the largest proportion (49.5 %), and the VV variant (10.3 %) accounted for a smaller part of the herd. These data partially coincided with the results obtained on the Kazakh White-Headed breed in Russian (PLL = 48.8% and PVV = 3.7 %) and Kazakh populations (PLL = 63.3 % and PVV = 5.1%) [16, p. 1450]. The authors of the scientific work noted that the Kazakh selection is genetically different from domestic representatives of the breed. This is confirmed by the allelic distribution of the growth hormone gene in different populations. Thus, the frequencies of the minor V-allele were 0.275 and 0.304 (in our studies) in Russian herds, while it was 0.209 in the Kazakh population. In addition, data on the distribution of L-allele are presented in Herefords (PL = 0.69) and Limousines (PL = 0.71) [6, p. 55], which fully confirm the allelic ratio established in the herd of the breeding farm "Krasny Oktyabr'". Large-scale studies were car-

ried out on 9 beef breeds in South East Asia, as a result the wide ranges of the L-allele (P = 0.423...0.719) and V-allele (P = 0.281.0.577) frequencies were revealed in different cattle [17, p. 5].

The bovine GHR gene is located on 20 chromosome and encodes a transmembrane growth hormone receptor belonging to a large superfamily of cytokine and hematopoietic growth factor receptors [18, p. 71; 19, p. 352]. The growth hormone receptor is a transducer of the growth hormone action, which plays a key role in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism [20, p. 35]. Analysis of mutations reveals ten polymorphic regions in the bovine GHR gene [21, p. 64]. Four mutations were SNPs in introns, one was in the 3'-untranslated region, three were synonymous mutations at the third position of codon, and two SNPs modified the amino acid sequence. The T^-A nucleotide substitution in eighth exon causes a change in the amino acid sequence from phenylalanine to tyrosine at position 279 (F279Y). A new PCR-RFLP protocol was developed and 679 animals belonging to seven cattle breeds were genotyped in Italy to analyze this mutation [22, p. 417]. In their studies, all breeds were characterized by a high distribution (50.9-89.4 %) of the FF-genotype in the herds, while the proportion of GHRYY had a minimal number (0.0-5.6 %) of individuals. On the contrary, in our work, the largest number of animals were carriers of the heterozygous (35.5 %) and homozygous YY-gen-otypes (34.6 %). The genotyping of two crossbred beef herds confirm the overwhelming advantage in distribution of GHRYY and GHRFY variants, which varied within 97.5-98.5 % in the aggregate [23, p. 6]. Thus, a wide range of genotype frequencies was observed, which is reflected in a different allelic distribution. Thus, the presence of Y-allele was 0.086-0.370 when genotyped the Kazakh White-Headed breed of Kazakh selection [24, p. 263]. In our work, the frequency of this allele reached 0.523 on average for the herd.

When studying the dynamics of the distribution in allelic frequencies for GH L127V and GHR F279Y polymorphisms in two different generations of animals, it is necessary to note a fairly high homogeneity of the gene pool for the growth hormone gene, and, on the contrary, a significant genetic differentiation of the herd for the growth hormone receptor gene. This is confirmed by the differences in allelic (F and Y) frequencies between particular age groups of Kazakh White - Headed cattle, which is expressed in significant deviations (x2 = 8.905; P = 0.012) of observed from expected genotype frequencies in accordance with the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in the general population [25, p. 167].

As a result, for the first time, data were obtained on the evaluation of the genetic structure of Kazakh white-headed mature herd and replacement young animals of Volgograd selection according to GH L127V and GHR F279Y polymorphisms, associated with indicators of meat productivity.
