ASSIGNMENT OF THE 36.5-KDA (RFC5), 37-KDA (RFC4), 38-KDA (RFC3), AND 40-KDA (RFC2) SUBUNIT GENES OF HUMAN REPLICATION FACTOR-C TO CHROMOSOME BAND-12Q24.2-Q24.3, BAND-3Q27, BAND-13Q12.3-Q13, AND BAND-7Q11.23
K. Okumura et al., ASSIGNMENT OF THE 36.5-KDA (RFC5), 37-KDA (RFC4), 38-KDA (RFC3), AND 40-KDA (RFC2) SUBUNIT GENES OF HUMAN REPLICATION FACTOR-C TO CHROMOSOME BAND-12Q24.2-Q24.3, BAND-3Q27, BAND-13Q12.3-Q13, AND BAND-7Q11.23, Genomics, 25(1), 1995, pp. 274-278
Replication factor C is a multimeric primer-recognition protein consis
ting of five subunits (p145, p40, p38, p37, and p36.5) and is essentia
l for the processive elongation of DNA chains catalyzed by DNA polymer
ase delta or epsilon in human cells. We have mapped the locations on h
uman chromosomes of the genes coding for the four smaller subunits [p3
6.5 (RFC5), p37 (RFC4), p38 (RFC3), and p40 (RFC2)] using both PCR amp
lification from DNAs of a panel of somatic hybrids and fluorescence in
situ hybridization to bands 12q24.2-q24.3, 3q27, 13q12.3-q13, and 7q1
1.23, respectively. (C) 1995 Academic Press, Inc.
