LON Peptidase N-Terminal Domain And Ring Finger Protein 1 (LONRF1)

Twelve loci (11 of type I and 1 of type II) previously FISH-mapped in cattle were comparatively FISH-mapped in both river buffalo chromosome 1p (BBU1p) and homologous chromosome 26 of sheep (OAR26), extending the cytogenetic maps in both chromosome species and providing a more precise localization of these loci in single chromosome bands than previous locations on BTA27.

Bovine BAC clones containing DCTD, C4orf20, CASP3, TLR3, MSR1, FAT, LONRF1, DLC1, C8orf41, CSSM036, LSM1 and EIF4EBP1 were used for FISH on RBPI-banded chromosomes. All loci were located on the same homologous chromosome bands (R-band positive) of both species further confirming the high degree of banding and gene (order of loci) homologies among bovids.
