LOCALIZATION BY FLUORESCENCE IN-SITU HYBRIDIZATION (FISH) OF HUMAN MITOCHONDRIAL POLYMERASE-GAMMA (POLG) TO HUMAN-CHROMOSOME BAND 15Q24-]Q26, AND OF MOUSE MITOCHONDRIAL POLYMERASE-GAMMA (POLG) TO MOUSE-CHROMOSOME BAND 7E, WITH CONFIRMATION BY DIRECT-SEQUENCE ANALYSIS OF BACTERIAL ARTIFICIAL CHROMOSOMES (BACS)

Cloned cDNAs for the human mitochondrial DNA polymerase gamma (POLG) w
ere identified by homology with the yeast mitochondrial DNA polymerase
catalytic subunit (MIP). Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) of
human and mouse bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs), hybridized b
y radioactively labeled POLG cDNAs, mapped to human chromosome band 15
q24-->q26, as well as to mouse chromosome band 7E. Direct sequencing o
f the BAC DNA without subcloning confirmed the presence of both human
POLG and mouse mitochondrial DNA polymerase gamma (Polg) in the respec
tive BACs.
