Assignment of the mouse alpha A-crystallin structural gene to chromosome 17. 1985

N W Kaye, and R L Church, and J Piatigorsky, and J M Petrash, and P A Lalley

alpha A2-crystallin is one of the major water-soluble proteins of the mammalian lens. Using a cloned cDNA probe coding for mouse alpha A2-crystallin and Southern blot hybridization, DNA isolated from a panel of somatic cell hybrids prepared from mouse fibroblasts or mouse spleen cells fused with Chinese hamster fibroblasts was probed to determine the chromosomal localization of the alpha A2-crystallin structural gene. We have located this gene on mouse chromosome 17.

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.

D004270 DNA, Circular Any of the covalently closed DNA molecules found in bacteria, many viruses, mitochondria, plastids, and plasmids. Small, polydisperse circular DNA's have also been observed in a number of eukaryotic organisms and are suggested to have homology with chromosomal DNA and the capacity to be inserted into, and excised from, chromosomal DNA. It is a fragment of DNA formed by a process of looping out and deletion, containing a constant region of the mu heavy chain and the 3'-part of the mu switch region. Circular DNA is a normal product of rearrangement among gene segments encoding the variable regions of immunoglobulin light and heavy chains, as well as the T-cell receptor.
