Linkage of phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetases 1 and 2, Prps1 and Prps2, on the mouse X chromosome.
The X Chromosome (Chr) genes for phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetases 1 and 2, Prps1 and Prps2, were mapped on the mouse X Chr with interspecific backcrosses between C57BL/6 (B6) and M. spretus (S). Southern analysis showed that Prps1 mapped between Plp and DXWas31, a mouse X Chr region that is homologous to Xq21-24 on the human X Chr while Prps2 mapped between DXWas31 and Amg, a region that is homologous to the map position of PRPS2 on Xp22 of the human X Chr. Additionally, other restriction fragments highlighted by PRS II showed autosomal segregation. In situ hybridization and FISH analysis of metaphase chromosome spreads prepared from lymphocytes of B6 or S male mice confirmed that there were in fact two different locations on the X Chr, X F1-2 and X F2-3 for Prps1 and 2 respectively, as well as two autosomal sites for Prps-like genes.
