A novel C{sub 2}H{sub 2} zinc-finger protein gene (ZNF160) maps to human chromosome 19q13.3-q13.4
- Inst. of Child Health, London (United Kingdom); and others
The human genome may contain up to 400 genes encoding zinc-finger (ZNF) proteins; a high proportion of those mapped have been localized to human chromosome 19. Heubner and colleagues have mapped 6 cDNAs containing a ZNF motif to 19q, and one to 19p, using somatic cell hybrids. Ten further sequences were regionally assigned by Lichter and colleagues, with a retinoic acid inducible ZNF gene being mapped to 19q13.2-q13.4. Thirty-nine cosmids identified on the basis of cross-hybridization to a ZNF {open_quotes}linker{close_quotes} sequence were mapped by FISH, 24 mapping to 19p and 15 to 19q. However, it is not known which of these sequences are transcribed or encode the cDNAs mentioned above. Forty Kruppel C{sub 2}H{sub 2}-related genes have been mapped to a cluster on 19p12-p13.1. It is interesting that none of these genes is detectable in the mouse or rat genomes, suggesting a relatively recent evolutionary origin for this cluster. 12 refs., 1 fig.
