摘要： In the present study, we cloned, sequenced, and explored the structural and functional characteristics of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-DQA gene from mink (Neovison vison) for the first time. The full-length sequence of DQA gene was 1147-bp-long, contained a coding region of 768-bp, which was predicted to encoding 255 amino acid residues. The comparison between DQA from mink (Neovison vison) and other MHC-DQA molecules from different animal species showed that nucleotide and encoded amino acid sequences of the mink DQA gene exhibited high similarity with the ferret (Mustela pulourius furo). Phylogenetic analysis revealed that mink (Neovison vison) DQA is grouped with that of ferret (Mustela pulourius furo). The cloned sequence contained a 23-amino acid NH2-terminal signal sequence with the signal peptide cutting site located in amino acids 23-24, and had three Asn-Xaa-Ser/Thr sequons. Three cysteine residues were also identified (Cys-85, Cys-121, and Cys-138). The 218 to 240 amino acids were predicted to be the transmembrane domains. The prediction of the secondary structure revealed three -helixes and fourteen -sheets in Neovison vison DQA protein, while random coil was a major pattern. In this study, the whole CDS sequence of Neovison vison DQA gene was successfully cloned, which was valuable for exploring the function and antiviral molecular mechanisms underlying the molecule. The findings of the present study have laid the foundation for the disease resistance and breeding of mink.
