Abstract: | Search for structural variants of three globin chains (x, y, z), synthesized only during mouse embryonic hematopoiesis, was carried out by electrophoretic analysis of blood from 12-day embryos, all with C57BL/6 mothers, and fathers from 115 inbred stocks selected for their diverse genetic origins. Structure of the -chains of adult hemoglobins differed among the tested strains, with 57 carrying the Hbbsallele, 56 the Hbbdallele, and two the Hbbpallele. The search revealed no x- or z-chain variants but confirmed and extended knowledge of a previously described y-chain variant. Blood of all embryos sired by males from the 57 Hbbsstrains contained only y1-chains, while blood of all embryos sired by Hbbdor Hbbpmales contained y2-chains as well as the y1-chains inherited from their C57 BL/6 mother. The locus controlling structure of the y-chain of mouse embryonic hemoglobins is thus extremely closely linked to the locus controlling structure of adult hemoglobin -chain, with maximum possible recombination frequency less than 0.019.This work was supported in part by Grants CA-01074 from the National Cancer Institute, USPHS, and GM 18684 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, in part by Grant ACS-VC58 from The American Cancer Society, in part by grants to the Jackson Laboratory from the Bushrod H. Campbell and Adah F. Hall Charity Fund and the Robert Sterling Clark Foundation, and in part by the Jackson Laboratory Endowment Fund.
