✦ Synopsis

Protamines are sperm-specific proteins that replace histones in the nuclear chromatin of mature spermatozoa. A chromosomal localization of the genes coding for human protamines has been achieved by in situ hybridization. Two cDNA probes of 423 bp and 397 bp containing the entire coding sequence for human protamine 1 (HP1) and human protamine 2 (HP2), respectively, have been used. The genes, called PRM1 and PRM2, have been found, tightly linked, on band 16p13.3. Arguments are given for the existence of these two genes as single copies, PRM1 coding for the unique HP1 protamine and PRM2 coding for a precursor of several proteins belonging to the HP2 family.

## Abstract Oligonucleotide probes have been used to map the myeloperoxidase (__MPO__) gene locus to chromosome bands 17q21–22. This is in agreement with results reported using conventional cDNA probes. No evidence for the existence of a second __MPO__ gene locus was obtained. Six synthetic 72‐base

The human histone H2A.X gene is unusual in that its transcripts are alternatively processed to yield two species, one a 0.6-kb replication-linked histone mRNA and the other a 1.6-kb polyadenylated mRNA. The H2A.X gene has been localized by fluorescence in situ hybridization to chromosome 11q23.2-q23

The human cytidine-5'-triphosphate synthetase (CTPS) gene was mapped by a direct mapping system combined with fluorescence in situ hybridization and replicated prometaphase R-bands. By high-resolution banding analysis, the signals were localized to band 34.1-34.3 of the short arm of chromosome 1; 1p
