Human laminin A chain (LAMA) gene: chromosomal mapping to locus 18p11.3.

Laminin, an integral component of basement membranes, consists of three subunit polypeptides, A, B1, and B2 chains. We have recently isolated cDNAs corresponding to human laminin A chain. These cDNAs were utilized for chromosomal in situ hybridizations to establish the genomic location of the laminin A chain gene. Metaphase chromosomes of PHA-stimulated human peripheral blood leukocytes were examined by in situ hybridization with 3H-labeled cDNAs, and the chromosomes were identified by R-banding (fluorochrome-photolysis-Giemsa method). The results indicated that the human laminin A chain is at locus 18p11.3. Since human laminin B1 and B2 chain genes have been previously mapped to chromosomes 7 and 1, respectively, the results indicate that genes encoding human laminin chains reside in separate chromosomes.

Recalibration of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PAO chromosome map in time units using high-frequency-of-recombination donors.

High-frequency-of-recombination donors of P. aeruginosa strain PAO were generated using a temperature-sensitive, replication mutant of the IncP-1 plasmid R68, loaded with the transposon Tn2521. Fourteen donors so isolated mobilized the chromosome in a polarized manner from a number of different transfer origins. The donors were used to construct a time of entry map of the entire chromosome and this was achieved by determining the time of entry of 32 randomly dispersed markers in crosses using nalidixic acid to interrupt chromosome transfer. Analysis of the time of entry data enabled the recalibration of the chromosome map to 75 min.

Chromosomal mapping and nucleotide sequence of a human DNA autonomously replicating sequence.

A 1.1-kb human DNA fragment (ARSH1) capable of functioning as a putative origin of replication in yeast cells has been characterized both by in situ hybridization to human metaphase chromosomes and by DNA sequencing. Our hybridization studies show a preferential localization of ARSH1 in chromosome regions 1p34-36 and 2q34-37. DNA sequence analysis indicates that in addition to the consensus sequence required for ARS function in yeast cells, nuclear matrix-associated DNA motifs are also present in the 1.1-kb fragment. These results suggest that ARSH1 sequences may serve as points of anchorage to the nuclear matrix for chromosomes 1 and 2.

Expression, exon-intron organization, and chromosome mapping of the human sodium iodide symporter.

The active iodide uptake of the thyroid gland in humans is mediated by the human sodium iodide symporter (hNIS). In this report, we show that hNIS expression was detected primarily in thyroid tissue, but also in breast, colon, and ovary tissues. Expression of hNIS is greatly reduced in thyroid tumors compared to normal thyroid tissue. Among tumor tissues, hNIS expression appears to be variable, consistent with the variable response to radioiodide treatment observed for thyroid carcinomas. The coding region of hNIS is interrupted by 14 introns, and the nucleotide sequence of each exon-intron junction is reported. Using this information, an alternatively spliced form of hNIS was identified. Finally, the chromosome location of the hNIS gene was mapped to chromosome 19p.

Comparative molecular cytogenetic studies in the order Carnivora: mapping chromosomal rearrangements onto the phylogenetic tree.

We have made a set of chromosome-specific painting probes for the American mink by degenerate oligonucleotide primed-PCR (DOP-PCR) amplification of flow-sorted chromosomes. The painting probes were used to delimit homologous chromosomal segments among human, red fox, dog, cat and eight species of the family Mustelidae, including the European mink, steppe and forest polecats, least weasel, mountain weasel, Japanese sable, striped polecat, and badger. Based on the results of chromosome painting and G-banding, comparative maps between these species have been established. The integrated map demonstrates a high level of karyotype conservation among mustelid species. Comparative analysis of the conserved chromosomal segments among mustelids and outgroup species revealed 18 putative ancestral autosomal segments that probably represent the ancestral chromosomes, or chromosome arms, in the karyotype of the most recent ancestor of the family Mustelidae. The proposed 2n = 38 ancestral Mustelidae karyotype appears to have been retained in some modern mustelids, e.g., Martes, Lutra, Ictonyx, and Vormela. The derivation of the mustelid karyotypes from the putative ancestral state resulted from centric fusions, fissions, the addition of heterochromatic arms, and occasional pericentric inversions. Our results confirm many of the evolutionary conclusions suggested by other data and strengthen the topology of the carnivore phylogenetic tree through the inclusion of genome-wide chromosome rearrangements.

Chromosome mapping in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAT.

A linkage map of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAT has been derived from the results of conjugation experiments using the plasmids FP2-2, R68, R91-5, and R68.45. FP2-2 and R68 each mobilize the chromosome from single, distinct transfer origins. R91-5 appears to mobilize the chromosome from two such origins, and R68.45 utilizes a number of transfer origins. R68 and R91-5 have both been shown to mobilize the chromosome with a polarity opposite to that by FP2-2. The locations of the transfer origins of these plasmids are such that it has not been possible to demonstrate chromosomal circularity by means of interrupted mating experiments. However, the available time-of-entry data combined with linkage data from plate mating experiments support the conclusion that the chromosome of P. aeruginosa is circular.

Genomic structure and chromosomal mapping of the nuclear orphan receptor ROR gamma (RORC) gene.

The nuclear orphan receptor subfamily ROR/RZR is part of the steroid and thyroid hormone/retinoid receptor superfamily and consists of three different genes, alpha, beta, and gamma. In this study, we determined the genomic structure of mouse ROR gamma and the chromosomal localization of both mouse ROR gamma and human ROR gamma (HGMW-approved symbol RORC). The genomic structure of the mouse ROR gamma gene was derived from the analysis of P1 vector clones containing large genomic fragments encoding ROR gamma. These results revealed that the mROR gamma gene has a complex structure consisting of 11 exons separated by 10 introns spanning more than 21 kb of genomic DNA. The DNA-binding domain is contained in two exons, 3 and 4, each encoding one zinc-finger. The splice site between exon 3 and exon 4 is identical to that found in RAR and TR3 receptors. ROR gamma is expressed as two mRNAs, 2.3 and 3.0 kb in size, that are derived by the use of alternative polyadenylation signals. We show by fluorescence in situ hybridization that the mouse ROR gamma gene is located on chromosome 3, in a region that corresponds to band 3F2.1-2.2. The human ROR gamma was mapped to chromosome region 1q21. The results demonstrate that the ROR gamma genes are located in chromosomal regions that are syntenic between mouse and human.

Chromosomal mapping of the gene for the type II insulin-like growth factor receptor/cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor in man and mouse.

The gene for insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) receptor (IGF2R) that has recently been found, by DNA sequencing, to be identical to the cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor (CIM6PR) has been mapped in the human and murine species. Cloned cDNAs for human and rat IGF-II receptors were used to probe Southern blots of somatic cell hybrid DNA and for in situ chromosomal hybridization. The genes are located in a region of other conserved syntenic genes on the long arm of human chromosome 6, region 6q25----q27, and mouse chromosome 17, region A-C. The CIM6PR/IGF2R locus in man is asyntenic with the genes encoding IGF-II (IGF2), the IGF-I receptor (IGF1R), and the cation-dependent mannose 6-phosphate receptor (CDM6PR).

Structure, chromosome mapping, and expression of the mouse Lyl-1 gene.

The mouse Lyl-1 gene was cloned and shown to consist of four exons with extensive nucleotide and structural homology to the human LYL1 gene. The Lyl-1 gene was localized to the central region of mouse chromosome 8 which defines a new region of synteny with human chromosome 19p. The predicted mouse Lyl-1 protein is 78% identical to human LYL1. The region of highest similarity occurs in the basic DNA binding and helix-loop-helix dimerization motifs which are nearly identical in mouse and man differing by only one conservative amino acid substitution. Expression of the Lyl-1 gene was found to be low in murine spleen and undetectable in other tissues by Northern blot analysis. In lymphoid cell lines, Lyl-1 was expressed in most B lineage cells but downregulated during terminal differentiation and was not expressed in most T lineage cells. In a human T ALL cell line carrying a translocation that juxtaposed LYL1 with the beta TCR gene, the translocated LYL1 gene was transcriptionally active whereas the nontranslocated gene was transcriptionally silent. We conclude that LYL1 has the properties of a lineage- and differentiation-specific HLH protein that contributes to T-cell neoplasia through its deregulated expression following chromosomal translocation.

Chromosome mapping of the human cytidine-5'-triphosphate synthetase (CTPS) gene to band 1p34.1-p34.3 by fluorescence in situ hybridization.

The human cytidine-5'-triphosphate synthetase (CTPS) gene was mapped by a direct mapping system combined with fluorescence in situ hybridization and replicated prometaphase R-bands. By high-resolution banding analysis, the signals were localized to band 34.1-34.3 of the short arm of chromosome 1; 1p34.1-p34.3. Simple procedures for the detection of R-bands are described.
