Assignment of the human and mouse genes for muscle ecto mono (ADPribosyl)transferase to a conserved linkage group on human chromosome 11p15 and mouse chromosome 7.

This report describes the localization of the human and mouse genes for muscle ecto mono (ADProbosyl)transferase to human chromosome 11p15 and mouse chromosome 7 using polymerase chain reaction of somatic cell hybrids. Mono ADP-ribosylation is the mechanism by which bacterial toxins interfere with protein biosynthesis in human host cells. 11 refs., 1 fig.
