title: Physical linkage of the lysyl oxidase-like (LOXL1) gene to the PML gene on human chromosome 15q22.
abstract: A contig was constructed centered on the PML (promyelocytic leukemia) gene. Using an exon-trapping approach to identify potential genes from a pool of cosmids located 5' of the PML gene, four exons were identified that showed 100% sequence homology with the previously cloned lysyl oxidase-like (LOXL1) gene. An exon probe identified a single transcript of 2.4 kb on a multitissue Northern blot with a pattern identical to the one reported for the LOXL1 gene. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis showed comigrating bands for both the PML cDNA and LOXL1 probes, demonstrating a physical linkage between these two genes. These data provide physical mapping information to complement the previous cytogenetic localization of LOXL1.
