Retrotransposons, a type of DNA fragment that can mobilize itself on genome, can generate genetic variations and develop for molecular markers based on the insertion polymorphism. Zinc finger proteins (ZNFs) are among the most abundant proteins in eukaryotic animals, and their functions are extraordinarily diverse and particularly important in gene regulation. In the current study, bioinformatic prediction was performed to screen for retrotransposon insertion polymorphisms (RIPs) in sixZNFgenes (ZNF2, ZNF3, ZNF7, ZNF8, ZNF10andZNF12). Six RIPs in theseZNFs, including one short interspersed nuclear element (SINE) RIP in intron 1 and one long interspersed nuclear element 1 (L1) RIP in intron 3 ofZNF2, one SINE RIP in 5′ flanking region and one SINE RIP in intron 2 ofZNF3, one SINE RIP in 3′ UTR ofZNF7and one L1 RIP in intron 2 ofZNF12, were discovered and their presence was confirmed by PCR. The impact of the SINE RIP in the first intron ofZNF2, which is close to the core promoter ofZNF2, on the gene activity was investigated by dual-luciferase assay in three cell lines. Our results showed that the SINE insertion in the intron 1 ofZNF2repressed the core promoter activity extremely significantly (P<0.01) in cervical cancer cells and porcine primary embryonic fibroblasts (HeLa and PEF), thus SINE may act as a repressor. This SINE RIP also significantly (P<0.05) affected the corrected back fat thickness in Yorkshire pigs. The corrected back fat thickness of individuals with SINE insertion in the first intron ofZNF2was significantly (P<0.05) higher than that of individuals without SINE insertion. In summary, our data suggested that RIPs play important roles in the genetic variations of theseZNFgenes and SINE RIP in the intron 1 ofZNF2may provide a useful molecular marker for the screening of fat deposition in the pig breeding.
