[The site of the action of the angora-Y gene and its interaction with the fuzzy-Y gene in the mouse].
The site of action of the goY mutant gene was determined in the aggregation chimaeras C57BL-goY/goY----DBA (+/+). Chimerism was detected by mosaicism of coat pigmentation and electrophoretic pattern of glucose phosphate isomerase. In 28-day-old chimaeras the regions of light-brown coat alternated black coat, stripes of short hairs alternated those of long hairs. These stripes of different length and width extended from spine in lateral-ventral direction. The hairs plucked from long hairs stripes had a similar length that those of goY/goY mice of same age, but the hairs plucked from short hair stripes corresponded to the hair length of +/+ mice. These data show that the goY gene acts in epidermal cells of hair follicles and its expression is autonomous. It has been established that in double homozygotes goY/goYfzY/fzY both mutant genes are expressed: the considerable increase of hair length as compared to norm--the effect of the goY gene and curly coat--the effect of the fzY gene. In goY/goYfzY/fzY mice during the formation of G1 guard hairs the incomplete expression of the goY gene is observed that is due to the suppression of hair growth by the fzY mutant gene. The fzY gene does not suppress the growth of G2 hairs and therefore the full expression of the goY gene occurs in goY/goYfzY/fzY adult mice.
