Abstract
Inosine monphosphate (IMP) is one of the important indicators for evaluating meat flavor, and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in its transcription and post-transcriptional regulation. Currently, there is little information about how lncRNA regulates the specific deposition of IMP in chicken muscle. In this study, we used transcriptome sequencing to analyze the lncRNAs of the breast and leg muscles of the Jingyuan chicken and identified a total of 357 differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs), of which 158 were up-regulated and 199 were down-regulated. There were 2,203 and 7,377 cis- and trans-regulated target genes of lncRNAs, respectively, and we identified the lncRNA target genes that are involved in NEGF signaling pathway, glycolysis/glucoseogenesis, and biosynthesis of amino acids pathways. Meanwhile, 621 pairs of lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA interaction networks were constructed with target genes involved in purine metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, and biosynthesis of amino acids. Next, three interacting meso-networks gga-miR-1603-LNC_000324-PGM1, gga-miR-1768-LNC_000324-PGM1, and gga-miR-21-LNC_011339-AMPD1 were identified as closely associated with IMP-specific deposition. Both differentially expressed genes (DEGs) PGM1 and AMPD1 were significantly enriched in IMP synthesis and metabolism-related pathways, and participated in the anabolic process of IMP in the form of organic matter synthesis and energy metabolism. This study obtained lncRNAs and target genes affecting IMP-specific deposition in Jingyuan chickens based on transcriptome analysis, which deepened our insight into the role of lncRNAs in chicken meat quality.

Abstract
AMP deaminase (AMPD) is manifest through a multigene family in higher eukaryotes, including man. The human AMPD1 and AMPD3 genes have been cloned and partially characterized. This study describes the cloning, chromosomal localization, partial sequence and characterization of the human AMPD2 gene. Composed of nineteen exons and eighteen intervening sequences spanning nearly 14 kb of genomic DNA, the human AMPD2 gene is positioned on the short arm of chromosome 1 near the p13.3 boundary. Two alternative 5' exons (1A and 1B) are remotely located upstream, whereas the other seventeen are compressed into the 3' terminal one-half of the gene. Transient transfections of human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells using heterologous constructs containing 5' flanking and 5' untranslated sequences cloned upstream of a luciferase reporter gene show that promoter activities are associated with exons 1A and 1B. Inspection of genomic DNA sequence reveals that AMPD2 promoter regions lack readily identifiable TATA boxes and are G + C-rich, particularly in the region of multiple transcription initiation sites in exon 1A. The regulation and evolution of the entire human AMPD multigene family are discussed.

Abstract
Previous work has identified multiple human AMPD3 transcripts proposed to differ by mutually exclusive alternative splicing of three exons located at, or near, the 5' end of the gene. In this study, we perform a more comprehensive evaluation of human AMPD3 gene expression. Combined Northern blot and RNase protection analyses show that alternative mRNAs are widely expressed in human tissues and cells, but at variable relative abundances. Sequencing of human genomic clones, together with human-mouse somatic cell hybrid analysis, demonstrates that the entire gene is comprised of seventeen exons spanning approx. 60 kilobases on the short arm of chromosome 11 in the region p13-pter. Together, RT-PCR and additional RNase protection analyses establish that exons 1a, 1b, and 1c are 5' terminal sequences in alternative transcripts. Transient transfection experiments show fusion constructs containing proximal flanking and 5' untranslated sequence from each of these exons are able to direct expression of a reporter luciferase gene in mammalian cell lines. These combined results reveal that AMPD3 gene expression is subject to transcriptional control by three tandem promoters. Differential regulation of the exon 1b promoter in skeletal myocytes, as compared to retinal pigment epithelial cells, is proposed to be mediated by skeletal muscle-specific basic helix-loop-helix protein/E-box interactions. Finally, an internal splice acceptor site in exon 1c is shown to be used alternatively to retain the 3' portion of this exon in mature AMPD3 transcripts initiating upstream in exon 1b.

Abstract
In man, there are at least four isoforms of adenosine monophosphate deaminase (AMPD): myoadenylate deaminase in skeletal muscle, the L isoform in liver, and the E1 and E2 isoforms in erythrocytes. Myoadenylate deaminase is encoded by the AMPD1 gene located on chromosome 1 p13-p21, the L isoform by the AMPD2 gene, and both isoforms in erythrocytes by the AMPD3 gene. Myoadenylate deaminase deficiency is found in 2-3% of all muscle biopsies. The inborn type of myoadenylate deaminase deficiency is caused by a single mutant allele harbouring two mutations: C34-->T (Gln-->Stop) and C143-->T (Pro-48-->Leu). Population studies revealed a frequency of the mutant allele of 0.12 in Caucasian Americans and Germans. The C34-->T mutation is located in exon 2, which is alternatively spliced in part of the AMPD1 transcript in human muscle. Since the second mutation does not affect enzyme function, alternatively spliced mRNA encodes a catalytically active enzyme. Only one patient with a disorder linked to liver AMPD has been described so far. In this patient the decreased inhibition of this enzyme by GTP resulted in uric acid overproduction and gout. A complete lack of erythroyte AMPD activity is found in asymptomatic subjects. The molecular basis of both disorders is not yet known.

Lai LW, Hart IM, Patterson D. A gene correcting the defect in the CHO mutant Ade -H, deficient in a branch point enzyme (adenylosuccinate synthetase) of de novo purine biosynthesis, is located on the long arm of chromosome 1.

Abstract
Somatic hybrids between human cells and the Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) K1 mutant, Ade -H cells, were selected for purine prototrophy by growth in adenine-free medium. The Ade -H mutant is defective in the enzyme adenylosuccinate (AMPS) synthetase (ADSS; EC 6.3.4.4), which carries out the first of a two-step sequence in the biosynthesis of AMP from IMP, and therefore requires exogenous adenine for growth. The presence of the long arm of human chromosome 1 in the hybrids is 100% concordant for the ability to grow in adenine-free medium and restoration of the enzyme activity. Hybrid segregants that lose the ability to grow in adenine-free medium lose all or a portion of chromosome 1 and enzyme activity. Southern blot hybridization with a chromosome 1-specific probe, BCMI, confirms the existence of human chromosome 1 in these hybrids. Analysis of a human/CHO translocation chromosome that arose in one of the hybrids suggests that the gene correcting the defect lies in the region 1 cen-1q12. In summary, we have shown by cytogenetics, segregant analysis, biochemical assay, and Southern blot analysis that human chromosome 1, most likely in the region 1cen-1q12, corrects the defect in ADSS-deficient mutant Ade-H cells.
