Abstract
Dlx-2 (also called Tes-1), a mammalian member of the Distal-less family of homeobox genes, is expressed during murine fetal development in spatially restricted domains of the forebrain. Searching for a candidate neurological mutation that might involve this gene, we have assigned the human and mouse loci to regions of conserved synteny on human chromosome 2, region cen--q33, and mouse chromosome 2 by Southern analysis of somatic cell hybrid lines. An EcoRI dimorphism, discovered in common inbred laboratory strains, was used for recombinant inbred strain mapping. The results place Dlx-2/Tes-1 near the Hox-4 cluster on mouse chromosome 2.

Abstract
Inhibin suppresses the pituitary secretion of FSH but not LH. The two forms of inhibin are composed of a common alpha subunit linked to either a beta A or a beta B subunit. The mouse inhibin alpha gene was isolated and shown to have two exons spanning a 1.7 Kb intron. The proximal 5' flanking region has neither TATA and CAAT boxes nor GC-rich area. Using the 5' flanking region of mouse inhibin alpha gene linked to luciferase gene, transfection of rat granulosa cells indicated that the first 165 bp of the promoter region is required for basal expression. The mouse inhibin alpha genomic clone should be useful for analysis of hormonal control of inhibin alpha transcription and the generation of mice with targeted deletion of this gene.

Abstract
In the mouse, innate resistance or susceptibility to infection with a group of unrelated intracellular parasites which includes, Mycobacteria, Salmonella, and Leishmania is determined by the expression of a single dominant autosomal gene designated Bcg located on the proximal portion of chromosome 1. The gene is expressed at the level of the mature tissue macrophage and influences its capacity to restrict intracellular proliferation of the parasites. We have used restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis in segregating populations of inter- and intraspecific backcross mice and in recombinant inbred strains to position four new marker genes, transition protein 1 (Tp-1), desmin (Des), the alpha subunit of inhibin (Inha), and retinal S-antigen (Sag), in the vicinity of the host resistance locus, Bcg. The gene order for Tp-1, Des, Inha, and Sag was established in an eight-point testcross with respect to anchor loci previously assigned to that portion of mouse chromosome 1 and was found to be centromere-Fn-1-Tp-1-(Vil,Bcg)-Des-Inha-Akp-3-Acrg+ ++-Sag. Two of these new marker genes were found very tightly linked to Bcg: Des was located 0.3 +/- 0.3 cM distal from (Vil,Bcg) and 0.3 +/- 0.3 cM proximal to Inha. Tp-1 mapped 0.8 +/- 0.8 cM proximal and Sag 12.8 +/- 1.7 cM distal to (Vil,Bcg). Tp-1, Des, Inha, and Sag all fall within a large mouse chromosome 1 segment homologous with the telomeric region of the long arm of human chromosome 2 (2q). Our findings indicate that the two closest markers to the host resistance locus, Bcg, encode cytoskeleton-associated proteins which are capable of interaction with actin filaments.

Abstract
Subunit Vb of mammalian cytochrome c oxidase (COX; EC 1.9.3.1) is encoded by a nuclear gene and assembled with the other 12 COX subunits encoded in both mitochondrial and nuclear DNA. We have cloned the gene for human COX subunit Vb (COX5B) and determined the exon-intron structure by both hybridization analysis and DNA sequencing. The gene contains five exons and four introns; the four coding exons span a region of approximately 2.4 kb. The 5' end of the COX5B gene is GC-rich and contains many HpaII sites. Genomic Southern blot analysis of human DNA probed with the human COX Vb cDNA identified eight restriction fragments containing COX Vb-related sequences that were mapped to different chromosomes with panels of human x Chinese hamster somatic cell hybrids. Because only one of these fragments hybridized with a 210-bp probe from intron 4, we conclude that there is a single expressed gene for COX subunit Vb in the human genome. We have mapped this gene to chromosome 2, region cen-q13.

Abstract
We have used a set of markers newly assigned to the proximal portion of mouse chromosome 1 to characterize the chromosomal segment deleted in the splotch-retarded (Spr) mouse mutant. Among nine markers tested in the heterozygote Spr/+mouse, we have identified four genes, Vil, Des, Inha, and Akp-3, which map within the Spr deletion. The closest distal marker to the deletion is the Acrg gene, with the distal deletion breakpoint mapping within the 0.8-cM segment separating Akp-3 and Acrg. The most proximal gene to the Spr deletion is Tp1. The proximal deletion breakpoint maps within the 0.8-cM segment separating Tp1 and Vil. The minimum size of the Spr deletion would therefore be limited to 14 cM, the genetic distance between Vil and Akp-3. The maximum size of the Spr deletion is estimated to be 16 cM, the genetic distance between Tp1 and Acrg.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) induces endochondral bone formation in vivo. The human genes have been cloned for a group of proteins containing BMP activity (BMP1, BMP2A, and BMP3). Two of the proteins are members of the transforming growth factor-beta supergene family (BMP2A and BMP3), while BMP1 is a novel regulatory protein. Using somatic cell hybrid lines, cDNA probes were used to map BMP1 to chromosome 8, BMP2A to chromosome 20, and BMP3 to the p14-q21 region of chromosome 4. This analysis reveals that the BMP2A and BMP3 genes map to conserved regions between mouse and human, while the BMP1 gene does not. The locations of the BMP genes were found to overlap with the loci for several disorders of cartilage and bone formation.

Abstract
We have investigated the degree of synteny between the long arm (q) of human chromosome 2 and the proximal portion of mouse chromosome 1. To define the limits of synteny, we have determined whether mouse homologs of seven human genes mapping to chromosome 2q cosegregated with anchor loci on mouse chromosome 1. The loci investigated were NEB/Neb, ELN/Eln, COL3A1/Col3a1, CRYG/Len-2, FN1/Fn-1, VIL/Vil, and COL6A3/Col6a3. Ren-1,2 and Acrg were included as two proximal mouse chromosome 1 anchor loci. The segregation of restriction fragment length polymorphisms at these loci was analyzed in the progeny of Mus spretus x C57BL/6J hybrids backcrossed to the C57BL/6J inbred strain. We found that five of the structural protein loci and the two anchor loci form a linkage group on proximal murine chromosome 1. The proposed gene order of this group of linked markers is centromere - Col3a1 - Len-2-Fn-1-Vil-Acrg-Col6a3-Ren1,2. Neb and Eln are linked neither to each other nor to any other marker on proximal mouse chromosome 1. Therefore, the mouse loci Col3a1 and Col6a3 are identified as flanking markers of the linkage group of structural protein loci. The estimated genetic map distances are Col3a1-13.3 cM-Len-2-3.4 cM-Fn-1-3.8 cM-Vil-9.6 cM-Acrg-2.1 cM-Col6a3-18.3 cM-Ren1,2. The available map information for human chromosome 2q markers and mouse chromosome 1 markers presented here tentatively identifies Col3a1 and Col6a3 as the border markers that define the limits of the syntenic chromosome segment. The order of mouse genes on chromosome 1 and their human homologs on chromosome 2q also appears to be conserved, suggesting that mapping of murine genes on the conserved segment may be useful to predict gene order in man.
