Chromosomal Assignment of 311 Sequences Transcribed in Human Adult Testis

Genomic Organization, Incidence, and Localization of the SPAN-X Family of Cancer-Testis Antigens in Melanoma Tumors and Cell Lines

“…This is interesting, as few X-linked genes exhibit postmeiotic expression (45). Thus, the expression of SPAN-X mRNA and protein in haploid spermatids places SPAN-X on the protected, adluminal side of the blood testis barrier (46,47).…”

Identification and Characterization of BPTF, a Novel Bromodomain Transcription Factor

“…To identify the chromosomal location of BAZ, PCR primers G (CCTCAGCTGCAACAAGTCC) and H (GCACTGCTTT-GCTGAATTTGGA), which amplify a fragment of 134 bp, were used to amplify DNA from each of 24 monochromosomal human/rodent somatic cell lines (Dubois and Naylor, 1993;Jones et al, 1997) obtained from Coriell Cell Repositories (Camden, NJ). The regional localization of BAZ2 was identified using the GeneBridge 4 panel of 91 radiation hybrids (Walter et al, 1994).…”

A Novel Family of Bromodomain Genes

“…The genes described in this study constitute a novel bromodomain family joining two other previously described bromodomain families (Venturini et al, 1999;Jones et al, 1997b). While some bromodomain genes, for example, GCN5, show conservation from yeast through to higher mammals, this is not true for members of bromodomain families, suggesting that these proteins have evolved to orchestrate the more complex control of transcription seen in multicellular organisms.…”
