Summary. The calpain proteolytic system — the micromolar calcium-activated neutral protease μ-calpain encoded by the CAPN1 gene, and its inhibitor — calpastatin — encoded by the CAST gene, is involved in biological processes regulation by partial degradation of substrates — cytoskeletal proteins, signaling molecules and enzymes. Calpain system dysfunction caused by mutations or Ca2+ elevation is associated primarily with diseases affecting central nervous and cardiovascular systems, as well as skeletal muscles. For cattle breeding purposes the calpain hyperactivity in the presence of excess calcium ions (calcium passes out due to cell death) is considered to be desirable offering the possibility to obtain more tender meat. This study is aimed to analyze the polymorphic variants CAPN316 and CAST282 of calpain and calpastatin genes in Aberdeen-Angus bred within Kharkiv region and to compare obtained result with commercial herds of other countries. For the SNP genotyping, PCR-RFLP methods were set up. Testing deviation from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was performed using Pearson’s chi-squared test. Spearman’s correlation coefficient was used to measure the strength of association between two characteristics. Cluster analysis was used to classify the allele frequencies obtained within similar data obtained for cattle in other countries. The allele and genotype frequencies of SNP CAPN316 (AF252504.2:g.5709C>G) in calpain gene are: C — 0.398 and G — 0.602; CC — 13.6%, CG — 52.3% and GG — 34.1%. The allele and genotype frequencies of SNP CAST282 (AY_008267.1:g.282C>G) in calpastatin gene are: C — 0.807 and G — 0.193; CC — 63.6%, CG — 34.1% and GG — 2.3%. Group-to-group variability in allele C frequency for SNP CAPN316 (0.37%) is higher than CAST282 (0.06%), due to the modulating effect of the calpastatin. The Aberdeen-Angus herd of Kharkiv region are comparable to the European commercial beef cattle herds by allele frequencies. Association between latitudinal zonation and frequency of allele C in cattle herds was demonstrated (R = 0.53, p < 0.05).
