SUMMARY: Apolipoprotein (apol A-l is a major protein of high density lipoms (HDL). The gene for apoA-I has been localized to the pll + q13 regjon of chromosome 11 by filter hybridization analysis of mouse-human hybrid cell cDNAs containing chromosome 11 translocations utilizing a cloned human apoA-I cDNA probe. The known linkage of apoA-I and apoC-II I also permitted the simultaneous assignment of the apoC-III gene to the same region on chromosome 11. Comparison with previously established gene linkages on the mouse and human genome suggests that apoA-I + apoC-III may be linked to the esterase A4 and uroporphyrinogen synthase genes which are present on the long arm of human chromosome 11. The localization of the apoA-I + apoC-I II genes in the pll+ql3 region of chromosome 11 represents a definitive chromosomal assignment of a human apolipoprotein gene, and will now enable more detailed analysis of the geneomic organization and linkages of the apolipoprotein genes.

Apolipoprotein A-I cDNA Probe: The cDNA probe used in this study was obtained from clwibed earlier (10, 15). This clone contains the nucleic acid sequence which encodes for the entire mature apoA-I protein and A 866 base pair long cDNA insert 10 amino acid residues of the prepropeptide. was obtained by cleavage with Msp 1 [l ug DNA/2 units of enzyme for 1 hour at 37"Cl and purified by agarose gel electrophoresis (1.1%). 0.25 ug of purified DNA was radiolabeled to high specific activity (2.5 x 108 cpm/ug) by nick translation (27). Human-Mouse Somatic Cell Hybrids: Human-mouse somatic cell hybrids were constructed by fusing mouse LM/TK (thymidine kinase deficient) or RAG (hypoxanthine phosphoribosyl transferase deficient) fibroblasts with human fibroblasts or leukocytes. Proliferating cell hybrids were selected in hypoxanthine-aminopterin-thymidine medium (28). Cell hybrids were characterized for human chromosome content by trypsin-Giemsa banding (29). Filter' Hybridization: High molecular weight DNAs were isolated from human-mouse cell hybrids as previously reported (30), at the same passage as for karyotype analysis (31). Isolated DNAs (10 ug) were digested with 30 units of EcoRI 936
