Localization of the ?2-macroglobulin gene and Lpm gene family on mink chromosome 9

Abstract: Using cloned cDNA for human α2-macroglobulin (A2M) as a probe, mink-Chinese hamster hybrid cells were analysed. The results allowed us to assign a gene for A2M to mink chromosome 9. Breeding tests demonstrated that the Lpm-locus coding for other related α-macroglobulin protein and the gene for peptidase B (PEPB) are linked 11±3 cm apart. The PEPB gene is located on mink chromosome 9, and hence, the Lpw-locus is on the same mink chromosome. The relationship of the genetic systems controlling the isotypically di… Show more

“…Polymorphic Lpm genes are associated with the behavioral genes located in the same chromo some. Earlier, we found that the Lpm locus is localized in mink chromosome 9, which is homologous to human chromosome 12 (Yermolaev et al, 1989), the gene structure of which is known and sufficiently sim ilar in many mammalian species, including pigs (Yermolaev et al, 2013). It can be assumed that, in mink, this set does not differ significantly from humans.…”

“…No intraspecific polymorphism for the second α‐macroglobulin (AM) variant known as α 2 M and under the control of presumably unique genes, has been found (Y ermolaev et al 1988). There is reason for considering mink Lpm (α,M) and α 2 M and their genes as members of the same family of homologoes: similarities of the main structural features of mink Lpm and α 2 M, and also location of their controlling genes on the same chromosome 9 (Y ermolaev et al 1989). Furthermore, as may by judged by intra‐ and interspecific variability of antigenic structure, Lpm appears to be the evolutionary most unstable member of the alpha‐macroglobulin family, while α 2 M seems to be its evolutionary conserved member (Y ermolaev et al 1988; S humny et al 1989).…”
