ABSTRACT
Molt-inhibiting hormone (MIH), a neuropeptide synthesized in the eyestalk in crustaceans, is mainly responsible for the molting by negatively controlling the ecdysteroids secretion. Although there are several reports of the isolation and protein sequencing of MIH in the red swamp crayfish, little is known about the nucleotide sequence and gene organization of this neuropeptide, even less about the association of MIH polymorphisms and growth traits. Here, a 1237 bp full-length MIH cDNA was obtained from the crayfish eyestalk, which encodes a putative protein of 106 amino acids, with a 191 bp 5'-UTR and a 728 bp 3'-UTR. The MIH genomic DNA sequence is 4205 bp in length, which includes three exons interrupted by two introns, and a 929 bp 5'-flanking region. Potential transcription initiation site and transcription factor binding sites were identified in the 5'-flanking region, implying a potential role in transcriptional regulation. Seventeen SNPs in the 5'-flanking region and 3'-UTR were identified, and the associations between these SNPs and growth traits were evaluated with a two-stage design. A SNPs g. -12C > G that showed a significant association with body weight was identified. Individuals with GG genotype had a significantly higher body weight than those with CC genotype (43.98 ±â€¯9.82 g vs. 34.27 ±â€¯6.87 g; P ﹤ 0.001), indicating a beneficial effect of the G allele on the growth of red swamp crayfish. The obtained MIH gene, as well as the identified SNPs, may serve as targets for molecular marker-aided selection in growth improvement of the red swamp crayfish in future studies.
