Mouse mitochondrial superoxide dismutase locus is on chromosome 17

Abstract

The hamster X mouse hybridoma cell line GCL28 carries only one copy of mouse chromosome 17 but expresses H-2 antigens controlled by the major histocompatibility complex of the mouse. The cell line and clones derived from it were subjected to treatment with H-2 specific antisera and complement and a series of H-2 antigen-negative clones was produced. Typing of the clones for the mouse enzyme glyoxalase 1, which is encoded by an H-2-linked gene, revealed that the loss of H-2 antigen expression was accompanied by the loss of chromosomes 17 in these clones. This suggestion was verified by karyotype analysis of selected clones. Typing of the clones and subclones for the mouse mitochondrial superoxide dismutase (SOD-2) indicated complete concordance between loss of chromosome 17 and loss of SOD-2 activity. This finding suggests that the locus controlling the expression of SOD-2 is located on chromosome 17. Since a similar locus in the human is linked to HLA, the human major histocompatibility complex, extensive homology must exist between the mouse and human MHC-bearing chromosomes.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
