Three alleles at the Gpt-1 (glutamic-pyruvic transaminase-1) locus in the mouse, as identified by electrophoresis on cellulose acetate, and their distribution among inbred mouse strains and wild stocks are described. The Gpt-1 locus was shown to control the soluble form of the enzyme. Three-point li

β¦ Synopsis
The human RAPIA gene encodes a protein that apparently can antagonize the function of oncogenic ras genes in gene transfer experiments, but its normal function is unknown. To understand the function of this gene, we have undertaken a study of the mouse homolog, Rapla. The complete coding sequence of a mouse Rapla cDNA has been determined, and genomic clones representing three distinct Rapla species were recovered. We find that Rapla is located on distal mouse Chromosome (Chr) 3 near Nras, Ampd-1, Tshb, Ngfb, and Atplal. Two related sequences (Rapla-rsl and Rapla-rs2) were also characterized. Rapla-rsl, which was not localized, has a sequence very similar to the Rapla cDNA, suggesting that it has been recently acquired by the mouse genome. Rapla-rs2 is more distantly related to the gene sequence and is located on Chr 2 near Actc-1.

Cdk9, previously known as PITALRE, belongs to the Cdc2 family of protein kinases. We report the isolation and characterization of the complete gene coding for the murine Cdk9 protein. The gene contains seven exons spanning over 6 kb of genomic DNA, and the exon/intron boundaries conformed to the GT/
Electrophoretic variation for an intestinal enzyme that cleaves L-leucyl-beta-naphthylamide has been discovered among inbred mouse strains. Several strains including related strains C57BL/6J, C57BL/10J, C57BR/cdJ, C57L/J, and C58/J demonstrate an electrophoretic band of this enzyme that is absent in
