چکیده
Restriction fragment length polymorphisms have been identified between inbred strains of mice for the homeo box gene complex Hox-2. These genetic markers were used to follow the segregation of different Hox-2 alleles among recombinant inbred strains of mice and among the progeny of a three point genetic cross. The results place the Hoax-2 locus approximately 1 cM from the rex (Re) locus on mouse chromosome 11.

The Hox-2 locus on chromosome 11 represents one of the major clusters of homeo-box-containing genes in the mouse. We have identified two new members (Hox-2.6 and Hox-2. 7), which form part of this cluster of seven linked genes, and it appears that the Hoxo2 locus is related by duplication and divergence to at least one other mouse homeo box cluster, Hox-1. The Hox-2.6 gene encodes a predicted p...
متن کاملA new family of mouse homeo box-containing genes: molecular structure, chromosomal location, and developmental expression of Hox-7.1.
Two families of homeo box-containing genes have been identified in mammals to date, the Antennapedia- and engrailed-like homeo boxes, based on the sequence similarity to those from Drosophila. Here, we report the isolation of a homeo box-containing gene that belongs to a new family of which there are at least three related genes in the mouse genome. The homeo box of this new gene shows remarkab...
متن کاملDevelopmental and spatial patterns of expression of the mouse homeobox gene, Hox 2.1.
The Hox 2.1 gene forms part of a cluster of homeobox-containing genes on mouse chromosome 11. Analysis of Hox 2.1 cDNAs isolated from an 8 1/2-day p.c. mouse embryo library predicts that the gene encodes a 269 amino acid protein (Mr, 29,432). This deduced protein contains a homeobox 15 amino acids from the carboxy terminus and is very rich in serine and proline. A second partially conserved reg...

The Hox-2.1 gene is one of homeobox-containing genes located in the Hox-2 cluster on mouse chromosome 11. In this study, we have examined transcription of the Hox-2.1 gene during differentiation of F9 embryonal carcinoma cells induced by treatment with retinoic acid. The level of Hox-2.1 mRNA increases rapidly after induction of differentiation and then falls. Nuclear run-on experiments demonst...
