Abstract

This research was conducted on three strains of Nigerian Indigenous (gallus gallus domesticus) and Noiler (exotic) chickens. It examined the physicochemical and structural validation of Myxovirus resistance 1 (Mx1) protein on the three strains of Nigerian indigenous (naked neck, frizzle feather, normal feather) and noiler (exotic) chickens and also the prediction of the Physicochemical Analysis of protein. Nucleotide sequence were retrieved from National Center for Bio-Technology Information (NCBI) database and subjected to multiple sequence alignment, prediction of the physicochemical analysis of protein was done in the ProtParam web server. Modeling of 3D structural validation, Swiss modeling and Statistical analysis were all carried out. Software was used to align the sequences to find any Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNPS). The result of physicochemical analysis showed that the properties of the Mx1 protein fell within accepted threshold and predicted that the proteins were generally related. To validate the structure obtained from modeling, the obtained PDB files were ran on the Pro-check validation server and obtained Errat and Ramachandran plots. The study elucidates the unique features and potential functional implications of Mx1 protein across different strains of Nigerian indigenous and exotic chickens. This knowledge can inform the development of strategies to improve disease resistance in local chicken populations through selective breeding or genetic manipulation. Comparing the Mx1 protein among different strains of Nigerian indigenous chickens can reveal evolutionary adaptations and provide valuable information for understanding the molecular basis of immune defense mechanisms in poultry. Understanding the physicochemical properties and structural dynamics of Mx1 protein contributes to the broader understanding of innate immune responses in indigenous chicken breeds, offering insights into their disease resistance and adaptation mechanisms.
