Structural analysis of TRG1@ and TRG2@ loci of the ovine immune system
[By isolating sheep genomic clones related to constant genes of T cell receptor gamma chain, we have shown, by FISH on sheep choromosomes, the occurrence of parologous loci TRG1@ and TRG2@ (Massari, 1998).

Zusammenfassung: | [By isolating sheep genomic clones related to constant genes of T cell receptor gamma chain, we have shown, by FISH on sheep choromosomes, the occurrence of parologous loci TRG1@ and TRG2@ (Massari, 1998). They are separated by at least five chromosome bands on chromosome 4: locus TRG1@ maps in 4q31, in a region homologous with human TRG locus on chromosome 7, while locus TRG2@ maps on 4q15-22 and is characteristic of ruminants. In this work, the whole structure of loci TRG1@ and TRG2@, derived by the analysis of six sheep BAC clones, is reported. TRG2@ has a total length of 90 Kpb and is composed by three clusters (TRG6, TRG2 and TRG4). TRG1 is 150 Kbp long and is composed by TRG5, TRG3 and TRG1 clusters.]
Grazie all´isolamento di cloni genomici ovini relativi ai geni costanti della catena gamma del T cell receptor, abbiamo dimostrato, mediante FISH su cromosomi di ovino, la presenza dei loci paraloghi TRG1@ e TRG2@ (Massari, 1998). Essi risultano separati da almeno cinque bande cromosomiche sul cromosoma 4: il locus TRG1@ mappa in 4q31, in una regione di omologia con il locus TRG umano sul cromosoma 7, mentre il locus TRG2@ mappa in 4q15-22 ed è caratteristico dei ruminanti. E´ qui riportata l´intera struttura dei loci TRG1@ e TRG2@, dedotta attraverso l´analisi di sei cloni BAC ovini. TRG2@ si estende per circa 90 Kpb e consiste di tre cluster (TRG6, TRG2 e TRG4). TRG1@, invece, è lungo circa 150 Kpb ed è composto dai cluster TRG5, TRG3 e TRG1 |
