Identification of a deletion hotspot on distal mouse chromosome 4 by YAC fingerprinting

Mutation Research
T PötterW Göhde

Abstract

Using repetitive elements as probes, genomic DNA fingerprints of four randomly selected yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) clones (two human and two mouse-derived YAC) were analyzed to determine the mutation level following X-ray exposure. Because the repetitive probes were derived from the mammalian host DNA, most of the fingerprint bands originated from the artificial chromosomes and not from the yeast genome. For none of the YAC clones was the mutation frequency elevated following X-ray exposure. However, for one mouse-derived YAC, the mutation level was unusually high (7%; 42 mutants of 607 clones analyzed), whereas for the other three YACs, the mutation level was nearly 0%. Surprisingly, 40 of the 42 mutations were deletions occurring only at three of the 20 mouse specific fingerprint bands. One of the frequently deleted fragments was cloned, sequenced and mapped to distal mouse chromosome 4, which has been repeatedly reported to be the most unstable region of the whole mouse genome, associated with various tumors. Deletion mapping of six YAC mutants revealed this fragment to be completely deleted in four YACs. In the other two mutants, recombination occurred within the fragment, in each case initiated at the same LINE-1 el...Continue Reading
