We have used a cDNA clone for human phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) to examine the chromosomal localization of three members of the human PGK gene family. Using somatic cell hybrids segregating portions of several X-autosome translocations as well as a clone panel of hybrids segregating radiation-indu

✦ Synopsis
Human casein kinase 2 alpha gene (CK-2-alpha) sequences have been localized within the human genome by in situ hybridization and somatic cell hybrid analysis using a CK-2 alpha cDNA as a probe. By in situ hybridization, the CK-2 alpha cDNA could be assigned to two different loci, one on 11p15.1-ter and one on 20p13. The existence of two separate chromosomal loci suggests that CK-2 alpha is a member of a gene family. Only the locus on chromosome 11 was confirmed by somatic cell hybrid analysis. The analysis was based on the presence of a CK-2-alpha-specific 20-kb fragment. However, the CK-2 alpha cDNA hybridizes to several additional fragments in total human DNA.
