title: [Chromosome locus of ATRA-induced gene RA109 and intracellular localization of RA109 protein].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To define chromosome locus of ATRA-induced gene RA109 and intracellular localization of its encoding protein.
  
  
  METHODS
  Chromosome locus was defined by radiation hybrid mapping method and protein localization by green fluorescence protein (GFP) as reporter molecule.
  
  
  RESULTS
  RA109 gene was mapped to chromosome 5q35 and its protein was localized in cell nucleus.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  RA109 gene is mapped by radiation hybrid technique to a chromosome region that is rich in disease-related genes. The RA 109-encoding protein is a nucleoprotein.
