Synteny of the genes for thymidine kinase and galactokinase in the mouse and their assignment to mouse chromosome 11. 1977

P McBreen, and K G Orkwiszewski, and C J Chern, and W J Mellman, and C M Croce

We have studied the expression of mouse galactokinase in human-mouse somatic cell hybrids segregating mouse chromosomes. Since concordant segregation of the expression of mouse galactokinase and the presence of mouse chromosome 11 were observed in the hybrid clones, we conclude that the gene for mouse galactokinase is located on mouse chromosome 11. We have also investigated the expression of mouse galactokinase in somatic cell hybrids between thymidine kinase-deficient Chinese hamster cells and mouse peritoneal macrophages. The results of this study indicate that the expression of mouse galactokinase and thymidine kinase segregates concordantly, and, therefore, we infer that the gene for mouse thymidine kinase is also located on mouse chromosome 11.
