Molecular cloning and expression analysis of TRAF3 in chicken

Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 3 (TRAF3) is a crucial regulator that suppresses c-Jun N-terminal kinase and non-canonical nuclear factor-kB signaling, but facilitates type I interferon production. To determine TRAF3 function in innate immune responses among birds, particularly chicken, we cloned and characterized the chicken TRAF3 gene (chTRAF3) and detected its tissue expression profile in chicken.

Molecular cloning and characterization of a novel chicken gene named grni

Y. Hua, Hui, D. Y., Rong, Z. H., and Cheng, T., “Molecular cloning and characterization of a novel chicken gene named grni”, vol. 13, pp. 386-395, 2014.

The full-length cDNA sequence of a novel expressed sequence tag (GenBank accession No. HQ184338) that was differentially expressed during Newcastle disease virus (NDV) infection in chickens was cloned from the chicken spleen by a rapid amplification of cDNA ends assay. This gene was further analyzed using bioinformatic methods and named grni. The full-length cDNA sequence was 1698 bp without introns, locating between 104,691,934 and 104,693,618 in galGal4 on chromosome 2. The open reading frame (ORF) contained 261 bp and encoded a deduced protein of 86 amino acid residues.
