Mapping the alpha-globin genes in Hb J Mexico carriers. 1982

G Trabuchet, and F Morle, and G Verdier, and J Godet, and M Benabadji, and V M Nigon

The organization of the alpha-globin genes was studied by restriction endonuclease mapping, in subjects carrying the alpha variant Hb J Mexico. A subject homozygous for Hb J synthesized both Hb J (about 55%) and Hb A and had two alpha loci per chromosome. His restriction site map was found to be identical to that obtained with a normal DNA, except for a mutant Bgl II site which was observed on the Hb J chromosome proximal to the 5' alpha-locus. We have also mapped the DNA of a compound heterozygote for Hb J and alpha-thalassemia, who synthesizes 38% Hb J and we have found a single alpha gene corresponding to a - alpha 3.7 haplotype on one chromosome and two alpha genes, respectively alpha J and alpha A, on the other.

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.

D005914 Globins A superfamily of proteins containing the globin fold which is composed of 6-8 alpha helices arranged in a characterstic HEME enclosing structure. Globin
D006448 Hemoglobin J A group of abnormal hemoglobins with similar electrophoretic characteristics. They have faster electrophoretic mobility and different amino acid substitutions in either the alpha or beta chains than normal adult hemoglobin. Some of the variants produce hematologic abnormalities, others result in no clinical disorders.
D006455 Hemoglobins, Abnormal Hemoglobins characterized by structural alterations within the molecule. The alteration can be either absence, addition or substitution of one or more amino acids in the globin part of the molecule at selected positions in the polypeptide chains. Abnormal Hemoglobins
D006579 Heterozygote An individual having different alleles at one or more loci regarding a specific character. Carriers, Genetic,Genetic Carriers,Carrier, Genetic,Genetic Carrier,Heterozygotes
D006720 Homozygote An individual in which both alleles at a given locus are identical. Homozygotes
