Chicken egg white ovotransferrin (OTF) has been reported to exist in three electrophoretic variants (OTF A , OTF B and OTF C ). In this report, we identified a causal polymorphism between the OTF B and OTF C variants in Japanese and Taiwanese native chickens and compared the antibacterial activity between these two variants. The cDNA sequence analyses from Satsumadori oviducts revealed that three non-synonymous SNPs T1809G (Ser52Ala), A2258G (Ile96Val) and G7823A (Asp500Asn) corresponded to the OTF electrophoretic phenotypes. Of the three SNPs, the G7823A mutation perfectly corresponded to the electrophoretic phenotypes OTF B (G/G, Asp500Asp), OTF B/C (G/A, Asp500Asn) and OTF C (A/A, Asn500Asn) in three chicken populations. The variants OTF B and OTF C exhibited similar antibacterial potency against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. This study provides, for the first time, molecular information on polymorphism of OTF B and OTF C variants of chicken ovotransferrin and its effect on the antimicrobial activity of the respective variants.
