The genetics of alpha-hydroxyacid oxidase and alcohol dehydrogenase in the mouse: evidence for multiple gene loci and linkage between Hao-2 and Adh-3.

چکیده
Electrophoretic polymorphisms for stomach alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH-C2) and kidney L-alpha-hydroxyacid oxidase (HAOX-B4) have been identified in an Asian subspecies of mouse, Musmusculus castaneous. These variants are inherited in a normal Mendelian fashion with two alleles in each case showing codominant expression. The structural gene loci for those enzymes (Adh-3 and Hao-2, respectively) are apparently linked (17.6% recombinants) in this organism, whereas the multiple gene loci for HAOX, Hao-1 (encoding the A4 liver isozyme) and Hao-2, exhibited independent segregation and are unlinked (50% recombinants). Evidence is presented for 3 ADH loci: ADH-1, encoding liver ADH-A2 which exhibits high activity with ethanol (SELANDER, HUNT and YANG 1969; ADH-2, liver and stomach ADH-B2 using 2-hexene-1-ol as substrate; and Adh-3, stomach ADH-C2 using both benzyl alcohol and 2-hexene-1-ol as substrate.

Inheritance of alleles at 29 electrophoretically detected protein loci and one pigment locus (albinism) was analyzed in Xenopus laevis by backcrossing multiply heterozygous individuals generated by intersubspecies hybridization. Pairwise linkage tests revealed eight classical linkage groups. These groups have been provisionally numbered from 1 to 8 in an arbitrarily chosen order. Linkage group ...

This study aimed to investigate the contribution of four common DFNB (“DFN” for deafness and “B” for autosomal resessive locus) loci and GJB2 gene mutations (exon 2) in hearing impairment in individuals living in Markazi and Qom provinces of Iran. Forty consanguineous Iranian families with at least three affected individuals in family or pedigree who suffer from an autosomal recessive non-syndr...
متن کاملAlpha-hydroxyacid oxidase genetics in the mouse: evidence for two genetic loci and a tetrameric subunit structure for the liver isozyme.
We have examined a polymorphism for liver GOX in inbred strains of the mouse Mus musculus. Genetic studies demonstrated that the two phenotypes for this enzyme present in BALB/C and NZC parental strains segregated as though they were controlled by codominant alleles at a single autosomal locus (GOX) which mapped closely to the agouti locus in linkage group V. Kidney HAOX activity is invariant i...

The identification of the efficiency of some mtDNA genes of Mus musculus species complex (house mouse) for biosystematics research was studied in this approach. Recent studies have made use of different mitochondrial genes including NADH dehydrogenase genes, cytochrome b gene, cytochrome oxidase genes, D-loop region and whole mtDNA genome to study the house mouse species. Usage of each of these...

Linkage evidence indicated that gene(s) located on chromosome 4q, in the region of the alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) genes, affected risk for alcoholism. We genotyped 110 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across the seven ADH genes and analyzed their association with alcoholism in a set of families with multiple alcoholic members, using the pedigree disequilibrium test. There was strong evid...
