Abstract:
Radiation-induced acute myeloid leukemias (AMLs) in the mouse are characterized by chromosome 2 deletions. Previous studies showed that a minimal deleted region (mdr) of ∼6.5 cM is lost from one homologue in chromosome 2–deleted AMLs. An AML tumor suppressor gene is proposed to map within this mdr. In this study, we refine the mdr to a 1 cM interval between markers D2Mit126 and D2Mit185 by microsatellite analysis of 21 primary radiation-induced F1 AMLs. The construction of a partial yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) contig spanning the mdr and the location of six known genes indicated that the 1 cM mdr is homologous to human 11p11–12, a region implicated in some human AMLs. Screening of five cell lines derived from primary radiation-induced AMLs for homozygous loss of microsatellites and genes mapping within the mdr revealed loss of both copies of the hemopoietic tissue-specific transcription factor Sfpi1 (PU.1/Spi1) in one cell line. Studies of primary and F1 AMLs failed to implicate Sfpi1 as the AML tumor suppressor gene. YAC contig construction, together with data suggesting that the critical gene flanks Sfpi1, represents significant progress toward identifying an AML tumor suppressor gene.

Several human malignancies frequently exhibit deletions or rearrangements of the distal short arm of chromosome 1 (1p36), and a number of genetic diseases also map to this region. The carbonic anhydrase (CA6) and α-enolase (ENO1) genes, previously mapped to 1p36, were physically linked in yeast- and P1-artificial chromosome (YAC and PAC) contigs. PACs from the contig were mapped to 1p36.2 by fluorescence in situ hybridization. The ESTs D1S2068, D1S274E, D1S3275, and stSG4370 were also placed in the same contig. The physical map was integrated with the genetic map of chromosome 1 by assignment of genetic markers D1S160, D1S1615, and D1S503 to the contig. Sequencing of the EST clone representing D1S274E indicated that it was derived from the same transcript as D1S2068E and corresponded to the SLC2A5 (GLUT5) gene, previously assigned to 1p31. Reassignment of SLC2A5 to 1p36.2 was confirmed by somatic cell and radiation hybrid mapping panels and was consistent with previous EST mapping data. Sequencing of the EST clone for D1S274E revealed the presence of intronic sequences, suggesting that the clone was derived from an unprocessed message. The presence of unprocessed and/or alternatively spliced EST clones has potential ramifications for EST-based genomic projects. This information should facilitate the mapping of tumor suppressor and genetic disease loci that have been localized to this region.

A physical map with yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) clones covering 63% of the 12 rice chromosomes
A new YAC (yeast artificial chromosome) physical map of the 12 rice chromosomes was constructed utilizing the latest molecular linkage map. The 1439 DNA markers on the rice genetic map selected a total of 1892 YACs from a YAC library. A total of 675 distinct YACs were assigned to specific chromosomal locations. In all chromosomes, 297 YAC contigs and 142 YAC islands were formed. The total physical length of these contigs and islands was estimated to 270 Mb which corresponds to approximately 63% of the entire rice genome (430 Mb). Because the physical length of each YAC contig has been measured, we could then estimate the physical distance between genetic markers more precisely than previously. In the course of constructing the new physical map, the DNA markers mapped at 0.0-cM intervals were ordered accurately and the presence of potentially duplicated regions among the chromosomes was detected. The physical map combined with the genetic map will form the basis for elucidation of the rice genome structure, map-based cloning of agronomically important genes, and genome sequencing.

A Physical Map of Human Chromosome 7: An Integrated YAC Contig Map with Average STS Spacing of 79 kb
The construction of highly integrated and annotated physical maps of human chromosomes represents a critical goal of the ongoing Human Genome Project. Our laboratory has focused on developing a physical map of human chromosome 7, a ∼170-Mb segment of DNA that corresponds to an estimated 5% of the human genome. Using a yeast artificial chromosome (YAC)-based sequence-tagged site (STS)-content mapping strategy, 2150 chromosome 7-specific STSs have been established and mapped to a collection of YACs highly enriched for chromosome 7 DNA. The STSs correspond to sequences generated from a variety of DNA sources, with particular emphasis placed on YAC insert ends, genetic markers, and genes. The YACs include a set of relatively nonchimeric clones from a human–hamster hybrid cell line as well as clones isolated from total genomic libraries. For map integration, we have localized 260 STSs corresponding to Genethon genetic markers and 259 STSs corresponding to markers ordered by radiation hybrid (RH) mapping on our YAC contigs. Analysis of the data with the program SEGMAP results in the assembly of 22 contigs that are “anchored” on the Genethon genetic map, the RH map, and/or the cytogenetic map. These 22 contigs are ordered relative to one another, are (in all but 3 cases) oriented relative to the centromere and telomeres, and contain >98% of the mapped STSs. The largest anchored YAC contig, accounting for most of 7p, contains 634 STSs and 1260 YACs. An additional 14 contigs, accounting for ∼1.5% of the mapped STSs, are assembled but remain unanchored on either the genetic or RH map. Therefore, these 14 “orphan” contigs are not ordered relative to other contigs. In our contig maps, adjacent STSs are connected by two or more YACs in >95% of cases. With 2150 mapped STSs, our map provides an average STS spacing of ∼79 kb. The physical map we report here exceeds the goal of 100-kb average STS spacing and should provide an excellent framework for systematic sequencing of the chromosome.
