X-linked and autosomal genes controlling mouse alpha-galactosidase expression.

چکیده
Analysis of F2 and backcross animals has confirmed the X-chromosome linkage of Ags, the structural locus for mouse alpha-galactosidase. The position of Ags has been located in the X chromosome, 9 centimorgans from Mo, and the gene order is centromere-Hq-Bn-Ta-Mo-Ags. A variation in the developmental expression of alpha-galactosidase activity, inherited as an autosomal trait, has been characterized using recombinant inbred lines of mice. Among certain recombinant inbred lines, the variation appears to segregate as a single major locus.

Expression Cloning of Recombinant Escherichia coli lacZ Genes Encoding Cytoplasmic and Nuclear P-galactosidase Variants
Objective(s) Nonviral vector can be an attractive alternative to gene delivery in experimental study. In spite of some advantages in comparison with the viral vectors, there are still some limitations for efficiency of gene delivery in nonviral vectors. To determine the effective expression, the recombinant Escherichia coli lacZ genes were cloned into the different variants of pcDNA3.1 and the...
متن کاملTissue-specific expression of a FMR1/beta-galactosidase fusion gene in transgenic mice.
Fragile X syndrome is one of the most common genetic causes of mental retardation, yet the mechanisms controlling expression of the fragile X mental retardation gene FMR1 are poorly understood. To identify sequences regulating FMR1 transcription, transgenic mouse lines were established using a fusion gene consisting of an E.coli beta-galactosidase reporter gene (lacZ) linked to a 2.8 kb fragmen...
متن کاملComparative gene mapping: order of loci on the X chromosome is different in mice and humans.
For comparative studies we have used the somatic cell hybridization approach to regionally map genes on the mouse X chromosome. Fibroblasts from a mouse with the balanced reciprocal translocation T(XD;16B5)16H were fused with a Chinese hamster cell line (V79/380-6) deficient in activity of the enzyme hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT). Interpecific cell hybrids were initially selecte...
متن کاملDifferential expression of sex-linked and autosomal germ-cell-specific genes during spermatogenesis in the mouse.
We have examined expression during spermatogenesis in the mouse of three Y-linked genes, 11 X-linked genes and 22 autosomal genes, all previously shown to be germ-cell-specific and expressed in premeiotic spermatogonia, plus another 21 germ-cell-specific autosomal genes that initiate expression in meiotic spermatocytes. Our data demonstrate that, like sex-linked housekeeping genes, germ-cell-sp...
متن کاملImbalance between the expression dosages of X-chromosome and autosomal genes in mammalian oocytes
Oocytes have unique characteristics compared with other cell types. In mouse and human oocytes, two X chromosomes are maintained in the active state. Previous microarray studies have shown that the balance of the expression state is maintained in haploid oocytes. Here, we investigated transcripts using RNA-sequence technology in mouse and human oocytes. The median expression ratio between X chr...
