Polymerase chain reaction oligonucleotides were designed to amplify bovine specific sequences for four genes that are located on human chromosome 22 (HSA22): crystallin beta A4 (CRY B A4), parvalbumin (PVALB), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 3 (TIMP3) and matrix metalloproteinase 11 (MMP11). Single strand conformation analysis of these bovine gene fragments defined polymorphisms within a population of three large half-sib families of three F1 Charolais x Brahman sires and a composite herd comprising an equal proportion of Africander, Brahman, Hereford and Shorthorn breeds (CSIRO pedigree). The DNA marker genotypes were used to define linkage associations to other DNA markers already placed on the CSIRO linkage map. The genes TIMP3 and PVALB were assigned to BTA5 and CRYbetaA4 and MMP11 to BTA17.

D003459	Crystallins	A heterogeneous family of water-soluble structural proteins found in cells of the vertebrate lens. The presence of these proteins accounts for the transparency of the lens. The family is composed of four major groups, alpha, beta, gamma, and delta, and several minor groups, which are classed on the basis of size, charge, immunological properties, and vertebrate source. Alpha, beta, and delta crystallins occur in avian and reptilian lenses, while alpha, beta, and gamma crystallins occur in all other lenses.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D016133	Polymerase Chain Reaction	In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.

D053507	Matrix Metalloproteinase 11	A secreted matrix metalloproteinase that is believed to play a role in EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX remodeling and cell fate determination during normal and pathological processes. Matrix metalloproteinase 11 was originally isolated in primary BREAST NEOPLASMS and may be involved in the process of tumorigenesis.
