Abstract:
Several phosphoglycerate kinase genes were previously detected in the human genome by blot hybridization with a phosphoglycerate kinase cDNA probe. Using subcloned fragments of the cDNA we estimate the presence of four independent phosphoglycerate kinase genes. These genes have been mapped to both the human X chromosome (band q13) and chromosome 6 (p12-21.1) using a panel of human-rodent somatic cell hybrids and by chromosomal in situ hybridization. The genomic distribution of phosphoglycerate kinase sequences is conserved in man and mouse, not only for the X chromosome, but also for linkage to the respective major histocompatibility complexes. Molecular cloning of X-linked phosphoglycerate kinase sequences led to the identification of a novel intronless phosphoglycerate kinase pseudogene which is localized proximal to the active gene on the X chromosome.
