A cyclophilin gene-like sequence maps to human X-chromosome

Abstract

We isolated cDNA fragments encoded in an X-chromosome specific YAC from the locus DXS995 by using direct cDNA selection method. Several of the selected cDNA fragments were identical to various exons of cyclophilin A gene. Hybridization of the selected cyclophilin cDNA fragments to the target YAC, presence of these sequences in an X-chromosome specific phage library and absence of a cross hybridizing fragment in a cell line (XL-45) that contains deletions of the interval Xq21, demonstrates that a cyclophilin like sequence is present in the human X-chromosome.
