To identify genes that map on human chromosome 21 (HC21) and that may contribute to the phenotype of Down syndrome (DS), exon trapping was applied to cosmid DNA from an HC21-specific library LL21NCO2-Q. More than 550 potential exons were cloned and partially characterized. One of these, hmc23b04 (GenBank X88270) showed strong homology to theDrosophila Enhancer of zesteprotein (GenBank U00180) from...
Exon trapping was used to identify portions of genes from cosmid DNA of a human chromosome 21-specific library LL21NC02-Q. More than 650 potential exons have been cloned and characterized to date. Among these, 3 trapped “exons” showed strong homology to different regions of the cDNA for the mouse pericentrin (Pcnt) gene (Doxseyet al., Cell76: 639–650, 1994), indicating that these 3 exons are portions...
We have used exon trapping to contribute to the development of the transcription map of chromosome 21q22.3 and to clone the genes responsible for disorders that map in the 21q22.3 region. Polypeptides deduced from three trapped sequences that map nearPFKLshowed homology to the yeastPWP2gene. The full-length coding region of a human homologue of this yeast gene was subsequently cloned from human infant...
Exon trapping was used to clone portions of genes from the Down syndrome critical region (DSCR) of human chromosome 21. One trapped sequence showed complete homology with nucleotide sequence U20980 (GenBank), which corresponds to the gene for the p60 subunit of the human chromatin assembly factor-1 (CAF1A). We mapped this gene to human chromosome 21 by fluorescencein situhybridization, by the use...
Abstract Exon trapping was used to identify fragments of genes on human chromosome 21. One trapped sequence, hmc18h10 (GenBank no. X88329), showed homology to a sequence (GenBank no. S65225) that includes the first three codons of the rat PEP-19 gene and 5 untranslated leader region. We have cloned the corresponding cDNA for a human homolog of the rat PEP-19 gene and mapped it to the region between...
Abstract In order to contribute to the development of the transcriptional map of human chromosome 21 (HC21) we have used exon trapping to identify portions of HC21 genes. Using pools of random HC21-specific cosmids from the LL21NC02-Q library and cosmids from 21q22.3 we have identified five different coding regions with strong homology to the lanosterol synthase genes of rat and yeast. This enzyme...
Exon trapping was applied to genomic DNA from a chromosome 21-specific cosmid library (LL21NC02-Q) to clone portions of genes from this chromosome. Among a large number of trapped exons, three showed striking homology to different regions of the cDNA for the mouse T-lymphoma invasion and metastasis gene (Tiam-1) at both nucleotide and predicted amino acid sequence levels, suggesting that these three...
Exon trapping was used to clone portions of potential genes from human chromosome 21. One trapped sequence showed striking homology with the bovine and rat ATP synthase OSCP (oligomycin sensitivity conferring protein) subunit. We subsequently cloned the full-length human ATP synthase OSCP cDNA (GDB/HGMW approved name ATP50) from infant brain and muscle libraries and determined its nucleotide and deduced...
Exon trapping/amplification was used to clone portions of genes from human chromosome 21. One trapped sequence showed complete homology with nucleotide sequence D13318 of GenBank, which corresponds to the gene for human transcription factor E4TF1-60 (HGMW-approved nomenclature GABPA). We mapped this gene to human chromosome 21 by FISH, somatic cell hybrids, and hybridization to chromosome 21-specific...
