Chromosome assignment of genes encoding the alpha and beta subunits of glycoprotein hormones in man and mouse
Abstract
The chromosomal locations of the genes for the common alpha subunit of the glycoprotein hormones and the beta subunit of chorionic gonadotropin in humans and mice have been determined by restriction enzyme analysis of DNA isolated from somatic cell hybrids. The CG alpha gene (CGA), detected as a 15-kb BamHI fragment in human DNA by hybridization to CG alpha cDNA, segregated with the chromosome 6 enzyme markers ME1 (malic enzyme, soluble) and SOD2 (superoxide dismutase, mitchondrial) and an intact chromosome 6 in human-rodent hybrids. Cell hybrids containing portions of chromosome 6 allowed the localization of CGA to the q12 leads to q21 region. The greater than 30- and 6.5-kb BamHI CGB fragments hybridizing to human CG beta cDNA segregated concordantly with the human chromosome 19 marker enzymes PEPD (peptidase D) and GPI (glucose phosphate isomerase) and a normal chromosome 19 in karyotyped hybrids. A KpnI-HindIII digest of cell hybrid DNAs indicated that the multiple copies of the CG beta gene are all located on human chromosome 19. In the mouse, the alpha subunit gene, detected by a mouse thyrotropin (TSH) alpha subunit probe, and the CG beta-like sequences (CG beta-LH beta), detected by the human CG beta cDNA probe, are on chromosomes 4 and 7, respectively.
