Our previous report demonstrated that two human cardiac alpha- and beta-myosin heavy-chains (MHCs) which correspond to MYH6 and MYH7 respectively, according to Human Gene Mapping nomenclature, were mapped to human chromosome 14 and that human cardiac and skeletal MHC genes do not cosegregate. For further analysis, the regional mapping method was used. DNA from 4 human deletion and 3 human duplication cell lines were prepared for southern blotting, hybridized with human cardiac alpha- and beta-MHC DNA probes, and the hybridization intensity relative to 46,XX or 46,XY DNA was estimated. The results showed that two human cardiac MHC genes segregated with the 14cen----q13 region of the long arm of human chromosome 14. In situ hybridization of 3H-labeled human cardiac alpha-MHC probe to normal human metaphase chromosome independently confirmed this result.

D009218 Myosins A diverse superfamily of proteins that function as translocating proteins. They share the common characteristics of being able to bind ACTINS and hydrolyze MgATP. Myosins generally consist of heavy chains which are involved in locomotion, and light chains which are involved in regulation. Within the structure of myosin heavy chain are three domains: the head, the neck and the tail. The head region of the heavy chain contains the actin binding domain and MgATPase domain which provides energy for locomotion. The neck region is involved in binding the light-chains. The tail region provides the anchoring point that maintains the position of the heavy chain. The superfamily of myosins is organized into structural classes based upon the type and arrangement of the subunits they contain.
