Preliminary data mining and bioinformatics studies on bovine α-gustducin. (A) Chromosomal mapping of the human and bovine type 2 taste receptor (T2R) gene family and GNAT-3. (B) Bovine GNAT-3 gene location and neighbouring genes (i.e., CD36—receptor for fat); (C) Ensembl gene splicing image showing one protein coding variant of GNAT-3 gene and its associated exons—in filled rectangles and introns—as lines in between; (D) multiple alignment sequences of bovine GNAT-3 compared to human, mouse and rat GNAT-3 amino acid sequences; red box—mutation in the aspartate-glutamine-arginine triad (i.e., DQR); (E) altered amino acid residues found in the bovine protein compared to human GNAT-3 protein and associated functional site; (F) graphical summary of GNAT-3 conserved domains with its several functional features; red encircle amino acid sequences represents the DQQ <> DQR triad sequences; and (G) bovine GNAT-3 protein percent identity matrix compared to that of humans and rodent protein.
