Angiotensinogen is an 2 involved in the maintenance of blood pressure and electrolyte balance. We have refined the position of the mouse angiotensinogen locus (Agt) on Chromosome (Chr) 8 and have also confirmed the assignment of the human angiotensinogen locus (AGT) to Chr 1. The segregation of several restriction fragment length variants (RFLVs) was followed in two interspecific backcross sets and in four recombinant inbred (RI) mouse sets. Analysis of the segregation patterns closely linked Agt to Aprt and Emv-2, which places the angiotensionogen locus on the distal end of mouse Chr 8. Additionally, a literature search has revealed that the strain distribution pattern (SDP) for the mouse skeletal -actin locus 1 (Actsk-1, previously Actal, Acta, or Acts) is nearly identical to the SDP for Agt in two RI sets. On the basis of this information we were able to reassign Actsk-1 to mouse Chr 8. By screening a panel of human-mouse somatic cell hybrids, we confirmed that the human angiotensioogen locus lies on Chr 1. This information describes a new region of conserved linkage homology between mouse Chr 8 and human Chr 1. It also defines the end of a large region of conserved linkage homology between mouse Chr 8 and human Chr 16. 相似文献

The mouse homologs of the Huntington's disease (HD) gene and 17 other human Chromosome (Chr) 4 loci (including six previously unmapped) were localized by use of an interspecific cross. All loci mapped in a continuous linkage group on mouse Chr 5, distal to En2 and Il6, whose human counterparts are located on Chr y. The relative order of the loci on human Chr 4 and mouse Chr 5 was maintained, except for a break between D5H4S115E and Idua/rd, with relocation of the latter to the opposite end of the map. The mouse HD homolog (Hdh) mapped within a cluster of seven genes that were completely linked in our data set. In human these loci span a1.8 Mb stretch of human 4p 16.3 that has been entirely cloned. To date, there is no phenotypic correspondence between human and mouse mutations mapping to this region of synteny conservation. 相似文献

Proximal mouse Chromosome (Chr) 16 shows conserved synteny with human Chrs 16, 8, 22, and 3. The mouse Chr 16/human Chr 22
conserved synteny region includes the DiGeorge/Velocardiofacial syndrome region of human Chr 22q11.2. A physical map of the
entire mouse Chr 16/human Chr 22 region of conserved synteny has been constructed to provide a substrate for gene discovery,
genomic sequencing, and animal model development. A YAC contig was constructed that extends ca. 5.4 Mb from a region of conserved
synteny with human Chr 8 at Prkdc through the region conserved with human Chr 3 at DVL3. Sixty-one markers including 37 genes are mapped with average marker
spacing of 90 kb. Physical distance was determined across the 2.6-Mb region from D16Mit74 to Hira with YAC fragmentation. The central region from D16Jhu28 to Igl-C1 was converted into BAC and PAC clones, further refining the physical map and providing sequence-ready template. The gene
content and borders of three blocks of conserved linkage between human Chr 22q11.2 mouse Chr 16 are refined.

Mapping of the structural gene for S-adenosyl homocysteine hydrolase to mouse Chromosome 2, and related sequences to Chromosomes 8 and X 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Comparative mapping studies in human and mouse have shown that, to date, human Chromosome (Chr) 20 is completely syntenic with distal mouse Chr 2. The structural locus for S-adenosyl-l-homocysteine hydrolase (EC 3.3.1.1) in human, AHCY, maps to 20 qterq13.1, and we report here that the homologous locus in the mouse, Ahcy, maps to distal mouse Chr 2 with gene order Pcna-Ahcy-Ada. Analysis of 123 progeny of an interspecific backcross between a laboratory stock, AN, and Mus spretus using a rat cDNA probe revealed the presence of at least two other Ahcy-related sequences segregating independently in the mouse genome. One, Ahcy-rs1, was mapped to Chr 8 in the BXH recombinant inbred strains, and the other, Ahcy-rs2, shows a pattern of inheritance consistent with X-linkage. 相似文献

Genomic structure, mapping, and expression analysis of the mammalian Lunatic, Manic, and Radical fringe genes 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The three members of the mammalian fringe gene family, Manic fringe (Mfng), Radical fringe (Rfng), and Lunatic fringe (Lfng), were identified on the basis of their similarity to Drosophila fringe (fng) and their participation in the evolutionarily conserved Notch receptor signaling pathway. Fringe genes encode pioneer secretory
proteins with weak similarity to glycosyltransferases. Both expression patterns and functional studies support an important
role for Fringe genes in patterning during embryonic development and an association with cellular transformation. We have
now further characterized the expression and determined the chromosomal localization and genomic structure of the mouse Mfng, Rfng, and Lfng genes; the genomic structure and conceptual open reading frame of the human RFNG gene; and the refined chromosomal localization
of the three human fringe genes. The mouse Fringe genes are expressed in the embryo and in adult tissues. The mouse and human
Fringe family members map to three different chromosomes in regions of conserved synteny: Mfng maps to mouse Chr 15, and MFNG maps to human Chr 22q13.1 in the region of two cancer-associated loci; Lfng maps to mouse Chr 5, and LFNG maps to human Chr 7p22; Rfng maps to mouse Chr 11, and RFNG maps to human Chr 17q25 in the minimal region for a familial psoriasis susceptibility locus.
Characterization of the genomic loci of the Fringe gene family members reveals a conserved genomic organization of 8 exons.
Comparative analysis of mammalian Fringe genomic organization suggests that the first exon is evolutionarily labile and that
the Fringe genes have a genomic structure distinct from those of previously characterized glycosyltransferases.

By use of rat cDNA probes and a panel of cell hybrids segregating rat chromosomes, the genes encoding three pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP)-dependent decarboxylases—namely, DOPA-decarboxylase (Ddc), glutamic acid decarboxylase 1 and 2 (Gad1 and Gad2)—were assigned to rat Chromosomes (Chrs) 14, 3, and 17, respectively. If one takes into account chromosome localizations in the human and the mouse, the present results (i) show that a synteny group is retained on rat Chr 14, human Chr 7, and mouse Chr 11 (Ddc); (ii) strengthen the homology relation known between rat Chr 3 and human and mouse Chrs 2 (Gad1); (iii) suggest that rat Chr 17 has no extensive homology to any human chromosome; and (iv) suggest the order (Prl, Fdp)-Tpl2-Gad2 on the rat Chr 17. 相似文献

We present here the genetic mapping of the -skeletal actin locus (Actsk-1) on mouse Chromosome (Chr) 8, on the basis of the PCR analysis of a microsatellite in an interspecific backcross. Linkage and genetic distances were established for four loci by analysis of 192 (or 222) meiotic events and indicated the following gene order: (centromere)-Es-1-11.7 cM-Tat-8.3 cM-Actsk-1-0.5 cM-Aprt. Mapping of ACTSK to human Chr 1 and of TAT and APRT to human Chr 16 demonstrates the existence of a new short region of homology between mouse Chr 8 and human Chr 1. Intermingling on this scale between human and mouse chromosomal homologies that occurred during evolution creates disorders in comparative linkage studies. 相似文献

Familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL) is a common genetic dyslipidemia predisposing to premature coronary heart disease
(CHD). We previously identified a locus for FCHL on human Chromosome (Chr) 1q21-q23 in 31 Finnish FCHL families. We also mapped
a gene for combined hyperlipidemia (Hyplip1) to a potentially orthologous region of mouse Chr 3 in the HcB-19/Dem mouse model of FCHL. The human FCHL locus was, however, originally mapped about 5 Mb telomeric to the synteny border, the
centromeric part of which is homologous to mouse Chr 3 and the telomeric part to mouse Chr 1. To further localize the human
Hyplip1 homolog and estimate its distance from the peak linkage markers, we fine-mapped the Hyplip1 locus and defined the borders of the region of conserved synteny between human and mouse. This involved establishing a physical
map of a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) contig across the Hyplip1 locus and hybridizing a set of BACs to both human and mouse chromosomes by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). We
narrowed the location of the mouse Hyplip1 gene to a 1.5-cM region that is homologous only with human 1q21 and within approximately 5–10 Mb of the peak marker for linkage
to FCHL. FCHL is a complex disorder and this distance may, thus, reflect the well-known problems hampering the mapping of
complex disorders. Further studies identifying and sequencing the Hyplip1 gene will show whether the same gene predisposes to hyperlipidemia in human and mouse.

The chicken natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 1 (NRAMP1) gene has been mapped by linkage analysis by use of a reference panel to develop the chicken molecular genetic linkage map and by fluorescence in situ hybridization. The chicken homolog of the murine Nramp1 gene was mapped to a linkage group located on Chromosome (Chr) 7q13, which includes three genes (CD28, NDUSF1, and EF1B) that have previously been mapped either to mouse Chr 1 or to human Chr 2q. Physical mapping by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis revealed that NRAMP1 is tightly linked to the villin gene and that the genomic organization (gene order and presence of CpG islands) of the chromosomal region carrying NRAMP1 is well conserved between the chicken and mammalian genomes. The regions on mouse Chr 1, human Chr 2q, and chicken Chr 7q that encompass NRAMP1 represent large conserved chromosomal segments between the mammalian and avian genomes. The chromosome mapping of the chicken NRAMP1 gene is a first step in determining its possible role in differential susceptibility to salmonellosis in this species. 相似文献

Recent evidence suggests that the human neuromuscular disorders, hyperkalemic periodic paralysis and paramyotonia congenita, are both caused by genetic defects in the -subunit of the adult skeletal muscle sodium channel, which maps near the growth hormone cluster (GH) on Chromosome (Chr) 17q. In view of the extensive homology between this human chromosome and mouse Chr 11, we typed an interspecies backcross to determine whether the murine homolog (Scn4a) of this sodium channel gene mapped within the conserved chromosomal segment. The cytosolic thymidine kinase gene, Tk-1, was also positioned on the genetic map of Chr 11. Both Scn4a and Tk-1 showed clear linkage to mouse Chr 11 loci previously typed in this backcross, yielding the map order: Tr
J-(Re, Hox-2, Krt-1)-Scn4a-Tk-1. No mouse mutant that could be considered a model of either hyperkalemic periodic paralysis or paramyotonia congenita has been mapped to the appropriate region of mouse Chr 11. These data incorporate an additional locus into the already considerable degree of homology observed for these human and mouse chromosomes. These data are also consistent with the view that the conserved segment region may extend to the telomere on mouse Chr 11 and on human 17q. 相似文献

The linkage map of sheep Chromosome 6 compared with orthologous regions in other species 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
E. A. Lord J. M. Lumsden K. G. Dodds H. M. Henry A. M. Crawford H. A. Ansari P. D. Pearce D. W. Maher R. T. Stone S. M. Kappes C. W. Beattie G. W. Montgomery 《Mammalian genome》1996,7(5):373-376
The genetic linkage map of sheep Chromosome (Chr) 6 has been extended to include 35 loci with the addition of 11 RFLP and
12 microsatellite loci. The sex-averaged linkage map now spans 154 cM from phosphodiesterase cyclic GMP beta polypeptide (PDE6B) to OarCP125, an anonymous sheep microsatellite. The male and female map lengths, at 180 cM and 132 cM respectively, did not differ significantly.
The physical assignment of PDE6B to Chr 6q33-qter orientates the linkage map on sheep Chr 6 with PDE6B near the telomere and OarCP125 towards the centromere. The order and genetic distances between loci are similar for the sheep Chr 6 and cattle Chr 6 maps,
except for the position of the casein genes. The sheep Chr 6 linkage map is also comparable to portions of human Chr 4, mouse
Chrs 5 and 3, and pig Chr 8. The synteny between sheep Chr 6 and human Chr 4 has been extended from PDE6B (4p16.3) to epidermal growth factor (EGF, 4q25-q27). However, a region from platelet-derived growth factor receptor α polypeptide (PDGFRA) to bone morphogenetic protein 3 (BMP3), which spans 19 cM on sheep Chr 6, appears to be inverted with respect to the human and mouse loci. Other differences in
the gene order between sheep, pig, and mouse suggest more complex rearrangements.

To determine chromosome positions for 10 mouse phospholipase C (PLC) genes, we typed the progeny of two sets of genetic crosses
for inheritance of restriction enzyme polymorphisms of each PLC. Four mouse chromosomes, Chr 1, 11, 12, and 19, contained
single PLC genes. Four PLC loci, Plcb1, Plcb2, Plcb4, and Plcg1, mapped to three sites on distal mouse Chr 2. Two PLC genes, Plcd1 and Plcg2, mapped to distinct sites on Chr 8. We mapped the human homologs of eight of these genes to six chromosomes by analysis of
human × rodent somatic cell hybrids. The map locations of seven of these genes were consistent with previously defined regions
of conserved synteny; Plcd1 defines a new region of homology between human Chr 3 and mouse Chr 8.

Twenty-four named Idd loci that contribute to the development of autoimmune diabetes in the nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse have been mapped by linkage and congenic analysis. Previously, meta-analysis of genome-wide linkage scans supported the existence of a locus for susceptibility to autoimmune phenotypes on rodent Chromosome (Chr) 18, in a position orthologous to the human type 1 diabetes susceptibility locus IDDM6 (human Chr 18q12-q23). However, an autoimmune diabetes susceptibility locus has not previously been reported on mouse Chr 18. In this study, we demonstrate linkage of the majority of mouse Chr 18 to diabetes in a (ABH × NOD)F1 × NOD backcross. Congenic analysis, introgressing at least 92% of Biozzi ABH Chr 18 onto the NOD background, confirmed the presence of a diabetes locus. The chromosome substitution strain (NOD.ABH-Chr18) had reduced diabetes incidence compared with NOD mice (P < 0.0001). We have named the Chr 18 diabetes locus Idd21. 相似文献

The X Chromosome (Chr) genes for phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetases 1 and 2, Prps1 and Prps2, were mapped on the mouse X Chr with interspecific backcrosses between C57BL/6 (B6) and M. spretus (S). Southern analysis showed that Prps1 mapped between Plp and DXWas31, a mouse X Chr region that is homologous to Xq21-24 on the human X Chr while Prps2 mapped between DXWas31 and Amg, a region that is homologous to the map position of PRPS2 on Xp22 of the human X Chr. Additionally, other restriction fragments highlighted by PRS II showed autosomal segregation. In situ hybridization and FISH analysis of metaphase chromosome spreads prepared from lymphocytes of B6 or S male mice confirmed that there were in fact two different locations on the X Chr, X F1-2 and X F2-3 for Prps1 and 2 respectively, as well as two autosomal sites for Prps-like genes. 相似文献

The calcium-sensing receptor (CASR), a member of the G-protein coupled receptor family, is expressed in both parathyroid and kidney, and aids these organs in sensing extracellular calcium levels. Inactivating mutations in the CASR gene have been described in familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH) and neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism (NSHPT). Activating mutations in the CASR gene have been described in autosomal dominant hypoparathyroidism and familial hypocalcemia. The human CASR gene was mapped to Chromosome (Chr) 3q13.3-21 by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). By somatic cell hybrid analysis, the gene was localized to human Chr 3 (hybridization to other chromosomes was not observed) and rat Chr 11. By interspecific backcross analysis, the Casr gene segregated with D16Mit4 on mouse Chr 16. These findings extend our knowledge of the synteny conservation of human Chr 3, rat Chr 11, and mouse Chr 16. 相似文献

The mouse gene Punc encodes a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell surface proteins. It is highly expressed in the developing embryo
in nervous system and limb buds. At mid-gestation, however, expression levels of Punc decrease sharply. To allow investigation of such a regulatory mechanism, the genomic locus encompassing the Punc gene was cloned, characterized, and mapped. Fluorescent in situ hybridization was used to determine the chromosomal location
of the Punc gene of mouse and human. Mouse Punc maps to Chromosome (Chr) 9 in the region D-E1, whereas the human PUNC gene is localized to Chr 15 at 15q22.3-23, a region
known to be syntenic to mouse 9D-E1. The human PUNC gene therefore maps close to a genetic locus that is linked to Bardet-Biedl
Syndrome, an autosomal recessive human disorder. Confirmation for the location of human PUNC was obtained through sequence
relationships between mouse Punc cDNA, human PUNC cDNA, genomic sequence upstream of the murine Punc gene, and human STS markers that had been previously mapped on Chr 15. The STS sequence WI-14920 is in fact derived from
the 3′-untranslated region of the human PUNC gene. WI-14920 had been placed at 228cR from the top of the Chr 15 linkage group,
which provided positional information for the human PUNC gene at high resolution. Thus, this study identifies PUNC as the
gene corresponding to a previously anonymous marker and serves as a basis to investigate its role in genetic disorders.

A linkage map of mouse Chromosome 1 using an interspecific cross segregating for the gld autoimmunity mutation 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

An interspecific backross was used to define a high resolution linkage map of mouse Chromosome (Chr) 1 and to analyze the segregation of the generalized lymphoproliferative disease (gld) mutation. Mice homozygous for gld have multiple features of autoimmune disease. Analysis of up to 428 progeny from the backcross [(C3H/HeJ-gld x Mus spretus)F1 x C3H/HeJ-gld] established a map that spans 77.6 cM and includes 56 markers distributed over 34 ordered genetic loci. The gld mutation was mapped to a less than 1 cM segment on distal mouse Chr 1 using 357 gld phenotype-positive backcross mice. A second backcross, between the laboratory strains C57BL/6J and SWR/J, was examined to compare recombination frequency between selected markers on mouse Chr 1. Significant differences in crossover frequency were demonstrated between the interspecific backcross and the inbred laboratory cross for the entire interval studied. Sex difference in meiotic crossover frequency was also significant in the laboratory mouse cross. Two linkage groups known to be conserved between segments of mouse Chr 1 and the long arm of human Chrs 1 and 2 where further defined and a new conserved linkage group was identified that includes markers of distal mouse Chr 1 and human Chr 1, bands q32 to q42. 相似文献

As a first step in determining whether there are polymorphisms in the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) genes that
are associated with nicotine addiction, we isolated genomic clones of the β2-nAChR genes from human and mouse BAC libraries.
Although cDNA sequences were available for the human gene, only the promoter sequence had been reported for the mouse gene.
We determined the genomic structures by sequencing 12 kb of the human gene and over 7 kb of the mouse gene. While the sizes
of exons in the mouse and human genes are the same, the introns differ in size. Both promoters have a high GC content (60–80%)
proximal to the AUG and share a neural-restrictive silencer element (NRSE), but overall sequence identity is only 72%. Using
a 6-Mb YAC contig of Chr 1, we mapped the human β2-nAChR gene, CHRNB2, to 1q21.3 with the order of markers cen, FLG, IVL,
LOR, CHRNB2, tel. The mouse gene, Acrb2, had previously been mapped to Chr 3 in a region orthologous to human Chr 1. We refined mapping of the mouse gene and other
markers on a radiation hybrid panel of Chr 3 and found the order cen, Acrb2, Lor, Iv1, Flg, tel. Our results indicate that this cluster of markers on human Chr 1 is inverted with respect to its orientation on the
chromosome compared with markers in the orthologous region of mouse Chr 3.

Despite rapid progress in the physical characterization of murine and human genomes, little molecular information is available on certain regions, e.g., proximal mouse chromosome 11 (Chr 11) and human chromosome 2p (Chr 2p). We have localized thewobblerspinal atrophy genewrto proximal mouse Chr 11, tightly linked toRab1,a gene coding for a small GTP-binding protein, andGlns-ps1,an intronless pseudogene of the glutamine synthetase gene. We have now used these markers to construct a 1.3-Mb yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) contig of theRab1region on mouse Chr 11. Four YAC clones isolated from two independent YAC libraries were characterized by rare-cutting analysis, fluorescencein situhybridization (FISH), and sequence-tagged site (STS) isolation and mapping.Rab1andGlns-ps1were found to be only 200 kb apart. A potential CpG island near a methylatedNarI site and a trapped exon,ETG1.1,were found between these loci, and a new STS,AHY1.1,was found over 250 kb fromRab1.Two overlapping YACs were identified that contained a 150-kb region of human Chr 2p, comprising theRAB1locus,AHY1.1,and the human homologue ofETG1.1,indicating a high degree of conservation of this region in the two species. We mappedAHY1.1and thus humanRAB1on Chr 2p13.4–p14 using somatic cell hybrids and a radiation hybrid panel, thus extending a known region of conserved synteny between mouse Chr 11 and human Chr 2p. Recently, the geneLMGMD2Bfor a human recessive neuromuscular disease, limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B, has been mapped to 2p13–p16. The conservation between the mouseRab1and humanRAB1regions will be helpful in identifying candidate genes for thewobblerspinal muscular atrophy and in clarifying a possible relationship betweenwrandLMGMD2B. 相似文献
