Genomic organization, localization and polymorphism of porcine PSMB10, a gene encoding the third beta-type proteasome subunit of 26S proteasome complex.

The proteasome subunit, beta type 10 (PSMB10) gene regulated by interferon-gamma is a core part of the 26S proteasome complex, which is an important protein degrading system. Isolation and characterization of swine PSMB10 revealed a conserved structure with other mammalian PSMB10 genes. An A/G nucleotide polymorphism in PSMB10 intron 2 and a C/T single nucleotide polymorphism in exon 5 were detected by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism. The allele frequencies were significantly different among Tongcheng, Landrace, Large White and Duroc. The porcine PSMB10 was mapped by somatic cell hybrid panel and radiation hybrid mapping on SSC6p14-p15, which is in good agreement with human-pig comparative maps.
