Localisation of the human nuclear factor I/X (NFI/X) gene to chromosome 19p13 and detection of five other related loci at 1p21-22, 1q42-43, 5q15, 11p13 and 20q13 by FISH.
Nuclear factor I (NFI) is a member of a family of dimeric DNA-binding proteins that are involved both in the initiation of adenovirus DNA replication and in the stimulation of transcriptional activation. We have used fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) to map one of four known genes encoding an NFI protein, the human NFI/X gene, to chromosome 19p1.3. Secondary sites of hybridisation observed at 5p1.5, 1q4.2-4.4, 1p2.1-2.2, and 20p1.3 most likely are attributable to partial sequence homologies with related NFI genes.
