We have used a full length cDNA clone to determine the chromosomal location of the gene encoding human ornithine aminotransferase (OAT), a mitochondrial matrix enzyme. Southern blot analysis of Sca I-digested DNA from 34 human-mouse somatic cell hybrids revealed 11 human fragments. Three fragments mapped to chromosome 10q23-10qter, confirming the previous provisional assignment of the functional gene to this autosome by analysis of OAT expression in somatic cell hybrids (O'Donnell et al. 1985). The remaining eight fragments were assigned to the X chromosome, and regionally assigned to Xp21-Xp11 by use of an X-chromosome mapping panel. These X chromosome sequences could represent pseudogenes, or related members of a multigene family. Two of the X chromosome fragments are alternate alleles of a restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) making this OAT-related locus an excellent genetic marker. The RFLP may now be used to determine any possible relationship between this locus and several X-linked eye defects.

D012150 Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment.

D002879 Chromosomes, Human, Pair 10 A specific pair of GROUP C CHROMOSOMES of the human chromosome classification. Chromosome 10
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004262 DNA Restriction Enzymes Enzymes that are part of the restriction-modification systems. They catalyze the endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA sequences which lack the species-specific methylation pattern in the host cell's DNA. Cleavage yields random or specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. The function of restriction enzymes is to destroy any foreign DNA that invades the host cell. Most have been studied in bacterial systems, but a few have been found in eukaryotic organisms. They are also used as tools for the systematic dissection and mapping of chromosomes, in the determination of base sequences of DNAs, and have made it possible to splice and recombine genes from one organism into the genome of another.

D000637 Transaminases A subclass of enzymes of the transferase class that catalyze the transfer of an amino group from a donor (generally an amino acid) to an acceptor (generally a 2-keto acid). Most of these enzymes are pyridoxyl phosphate proteins. (Dorland, 28th ed) EC 2.6.1. Aminotransferase,Aminotransferases,Transaminase
