Abstract
Described herein, the first microsatellite linkage map for the American mink consists of 85 microsatellite markers resolved into 17 linkage groups. The map was constructed using 92 F(1) progeny from five sire families created by crossing mink with different colour types. The linkage groups ranged from 0 to 137 cM. These linkage groups were assigned to 12 of the 14 mink autosomes using a somatic cell hybrid panel. The total map covered 690 sex-averaged Kosambi units with an average marker spacing of 8 cM. This map will facilitate further genetic mapping of monogenic characters and QTL.

Abstract
Comparative gene mapping and chromosome painting permit the tentative reconstruction of ancestral karyotypes. The modern human karyotype is proposed to differ from that of the most recent common ancestor of catarrhine primates by two major rearrangements. The first was the fission of an ancestral chromosome to produce the homologues of human chromosomes 14 and 15. This fission occurred before the divergence of gibbons from humans and other apes. The second was the fusion of two ancestral chromosomes to form human chromosome 2. This fusion occurred after the divergence of humans and chimpanzees. Moving further back in time, homologues of human chromosomes 3 and 21 were formed by the fission of an ancestral linkage group that combined loci of both human chromosomes, whereas homologues of human chromosomes 12 and 22 were formed by a reciprocal translocation between two ancestral chromosomes. Both events occurred at some time after our most recent common ancestor with lemurs. Less direct evidence suggests that the short and long arms of human chromosomes 8, 16 and 19 were unlinked in this ancestor. Finally, the most recent common ancestor of primates and artiodactyls is proposed to have possessed a chromosome that combined loci from human chromosomes 4 and 8p, a chromosome that combined loci from human chromosomes 16q and 19q, and a chromosome that combined loci from human chromosomes 2p and 20.

Abstract
Chromosomal localization of the genes for gamma- and kappa-immunoglobulins (IGGC and IGKC, respectively), aldolase B (ALDB), prion protein (PRNP), homeo box B (HOXB), and glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT) were determined with the use of mink-rodent hybrid cells. Analysis of segregation of the mink markers and chromosomes in these hybrid cells allowed us to assign the gene for HOXB to Chromosome (Chr) 8, IGGC to Chr 10, PRNP and IGKC to Chr 11, ALDB to Chr 12, and GPT to Chr 14 in mink. Furthermore, using a set of mink-mouse hybrid cells carrying fragments of mink Chr 8 of different sizes, we assigned the gene for HOXB to the pter-p26 region of the short arm of Chr 8. Comparative mapping of the genes of mink, human, and mouse, as well as other mammalian species, demonstrated that the mink genes HOXB, PRNP, ALDB, and IGGC are members of a conserved region shared by many mammalian species in common; the IGKC gene is a member of a conserved region common to carnivores and primates, not rodents; the GPT gene is a member of a syntenic gene group probably unique to the Mustelidae family or carnivores.

Abstract
A cDNA library from mink spleen was constructed by use of the phage lambda gt11. The library was screened using polyvalent serum raised against the mink immunoglobulin lambda chain. As a result, several clones expressing mink immunoglobulin lambda light chains were identified. Sequencing of one of the clones with an 803 bp insert was performed. The insert comprised nearly the entire coding region for the mature lambda light immunoglobulin gene with the exception of the leader polypeptide and several amino acids of the FR1 region of the V segment. Compared with the rabbit, mouse and human lambda light immunoglobulin genes, the homology of the cloned sequence was found to be highest relative to the rabbit gene. With the cloned mink cDNA containing the C-region only as a probe, the DNAs from mink-Chinese hamster hybrid clones were studied. The results of segregation analysis of this mink cDNA sequence and mink chromosomes in the mink-Chinese hamster clone panel allowed us to assign the gene for the lambda light immunoglobulin constant polypeptide (IGLC) to mink Chromosome (Chr) 4.

Abstract
Complete primary structures of both subunits of Na+,K+-ATPase from various sources have been established by a combination of the methods for molecular cloning and protein chemistry. The gene family homologous to the alpha-subunit cDNA of animal Na+,K+-ATPases has been found in the human genome. Some genes of this family encode the known isoforms (alpha I and alpha II) of the Na+,K+-ATPase catalytic subunit. The proteins coded by other genes can be either new isoforms of the Na+,K+-ATPase catalytic subunit or other ion-transporting ATPases. Expression of the genes of this family proceeds in a tissue-specific manner and changes during the postnatal development and neoplastic transformation. The complete exon-intron structure of one of the genes of this family has been established. This gene codes for the form of the catalytic subunit, the existence of which has been unknown. Apparently, all the genes of the discovered family have a similar intron-exon structure. There is certain correlation between the gene structure and the proposed domain arrangement of the alpha-subunit. The results obtained have become the basis for the experiments which prove the existence of the earlier unknown alpha III isoform of the Na+,K+-ATPase catalytic subunit and have made possible the study of its function.

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 different α-macroglobulins in mink serum are discussed.

Abstract
The BATP gene coding for the beta-subunit of Na+,K+-ATPase has been localized on chromosome 13 of the American mink (Mustela vison) using mink-Chinese hamster somatic cell hybrids and pig cDNA clones as probes. The AATP gene for the alpha-subunit of Na+,K+-ATPase is on mink chromosome 2 [(1987) FEBS Lett. 217, 42-44]. Consequently, the AATP and BATP genes for the Na+,K+-ATPase occupy separate mink chromosomes.

Abstract
A cDNA library from the mink pituitary was screened using as probe a synthetic oligodeoxyribonucleotide, 5'-TTCATGACCTCCGA-3', corresponding to the endorphin region of bovine proopiomelanocortin (POMC) cDNA. As a result, several clones containing inserts complementary to POMC mRNA were identified. The sequence of one of the fragments (585 bp, 65% of the total length of mRNA) was determined. A high degree of homology (over 80%) among the primary structures of sequences from mink, man, and bovine cDNA POMC was established. With the cloned mink cDNA fragment as probe, the DNAs from mink-Chinese hamster hybrid clones were studied. The results of segregation analysis of mink POMC sequences and mink chromosomes in the mink-Chinese hamster panel allowed us to assign the POMC gene to mink chromosome 11.

Abstract
Na+, K+-ATPase is a heterodimeric enzyme responsible for the active maintenance of sodium and potassium gradients across the plasma membrane. Recently, cDNAs for several tissue-specific isoforms of the larger catalytic alpha-subunit and the smaller beta-subunit have been cloned. We have hybridized rat brain and human kidney cDNA probes, as well as human genomic isoform-specific DNA fragments, to Southern filters containing panels of rodent X human somatic cell hybrid lines. The results obtained have allowed us to assign the loci for the ubiquitously expressed alpha-chain (ATP1A1) to human chromosome 1, region 1p21----cen, and for the alpha 2 isoform that predominates in neural and muscle tissues (ATP1A2) to chromosome 1, region cen----q32. A common PstI RFLP was detected with the ATP1A2 probe. The alpha 3 gene, which is expressed primarily in neural tissues (ATP1A3), was assigned to human chromosome 19. A fourth alpha gene of unknown function (alpha D) that was isolated by molecular cloning (ATP1AL1) was mapped to chromosome 13. Although evidence to date had suggested a single gene for the beta-subunit, we found hybridizing restriction fragments derived from two different human chromosomes. On the basis of knowledge of conserved linkage groups on human and murine chromosomes, we propose that the coding gene ATP 1B is located on the long arm of human chromosome 1 and that the sequence on human chromosome 4 (ATP 1BL1) is either a related gene or a pseudogene.
