SummaryThe chromosomal location of the mouse gene coding for vimentin, one of the intermediate filament subunits, was determined by in situ hybridization using specific H3-labelled DNA probes. There is only one copy of the vimentin gene and it is located on chromosome 2 region A2.

SummaryThe chromosomal localization of the mouse gene coding for desmin, one of the muscle-specific intermediate filament subunits, was determined by in situ hybridization using a specific 3H-labelled DNA probe. There is only one copy of the desmin gene and it is located on chromosome 1 in the band C3. This result adds an eleventh locus to a conserved gene cluster and confirms the partial homology that exists between the long arm of human chromosome 2 and chromosome 1 of the mouse.

The chromosomal location of human cytochrome c oxidase (COX) subunit VIa Liver (VIa-L) isoform related sequences has been determined by a combination of in situ hybridization and analysis of human–hamster somatic cell hybrid panels. COX VIa-L related sequences were present on chromosomes 6 and 12. It has been verified that at least two COX VIa-L genes are on chromosome 6, one of which is a pseudogene. In total, four COX VIa-L related sequences have been cloned and their nucleotide sequences analyzed. At least three of these sequences represent pseudogenes; their relatedness to the COX VIa-L cDNA is discussed.Key words: human, cytochrome c oxidase, chromosomal localization, COX VIa, cloning.

Southern hybridization analysis of Indian muntjac genomic DNA with the Eco-Taq bovine genomic protamine probe revealed a simple banding pattern. The pattern of hybridization was identical with that previously observed in the genus Bos. This suggested that the bovine probe specifically hybridized to the Indian muntjac protamine gene. The opportunity was thus provided to assign the chromosomal location of the protamine gene in a comparatively simple system. Accordingly, this probe and the corresponding cDNA probe were used for in situ chromosome hybridization and localization. Various parameters affecting specificity and the resolution of hybridization were examined. Subsequent to optimization, the Indian muntjac gene was shown to be autosomal and distally located in the telomeric region of the p arm of chromosome 1.Key words: chromosomal localization, muntjac, protamine, specificity, hybridization.

The gene composition, function and evolution of B-chromosomes (Bs) have been actively discussed in recent years. However, the additional genomic elements are still enigmatic. One of Bs mysteries is their spatial organization in the interphase nucleus. It is known that heterochromatic compartments are not randomly localized in a nucleus. The purpose of this work was to study the organization and three-dimensional spatial arrangement of Bs in the interphase nucleus. Using microdissection of Bs and autosome centromeric heterochromatic regions of the yellow-necked mouse (Apodemus flavicollis) we obtained DNA probes for further two-dimensional (2D)- and three-dimensional (3D)- fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) studies. Simultaneous in situ hybridization of obtained here B-specific DNA probes and autosomal C-positive pericentromeric region-specific probes further corroborated the previously stated hypothesis about the pseudoautosomal origin of the additional chromosomes of this species. Analysis of the spatial organization of the Bs demonstrated the peripheral location of B-specific chromatin within the interphase nucleus and feasible contact with the nuclear envelope (similarly to pericentromeric regions of autosomes and sex chromosomes). It is assumed that such interaction is essential for the regulation of nuclear architecture. It also points out that Bs may follow the same mechanism as sex chromosomes to avoid a meiotic checkpoint.

This study was initiated to determine the chromosomal location of the grandpa (gp) gene within the barley genome. The gp gene was placed on the long arm of chromosome 2 as indicated by linkage association with liguleless (li).Tests of allelism showed the gp gene to the allelic with the gp-2 gene. Seven sources of "yellow" chlorophyll mutants when crossed to grandpa plants gave albino double recessive seedlings. Three other sources of "yellow" chlorophyll mutants in the double recessive combination with grandpa exhibited yellow and white bands on the leaves. Double recessive individuals carrying the mottled (mt2) and grandpa genes were also albino. This is evidence of gene interactions between chlorophyll mutant genes.

ABSTRACT Low signal intensity due to poor probe hybridization efficiency is one of the major drawbacks of rRNA-targeted in situ hybridization. There are two major factors affecting the hybridization efficiency: probe accessibility and affinity to the targeted rRNA molecules. In this study, we demonstrate remarkable improvement in in situ hybridization efficiency by applying locked-nucleic-acid (LNA)-incorporated oligodeoxynucleotide probes (LNA/DNA probes) without compromising specificity. Fluorescently labeled LNA/DNA probes with two to four LNA substitutions exhibited strong fluorescence intensities equal to or greater than that of probe Eub338, although these probes did not show bright signals when they were synthesized as DNA probes; for example, the fluorescence intensity of probe Eco468 increased by 22-fold after three LNA bases were substituted for DNA bases. Dissociation profiles of the probes revealed that the dissociation temperature was directly related to the number of LNA substitutions and the fluorescence intensity. These results suggest that the introduction of LNA residues in DNA probes will be a useful approach for effectively enhancing probe hybridization efficiency.
