Title: A new allele at the Mup-1 locus controlling an electrophoretic variant of major urinary proteins in mice
Abstract:The present study showed that the presence or absence of a new component of major urinary proteins (Mups), which is found in MOA mice, an inbred strain of Mus musculus molossinus (Japanese wild mice),...The present study showed that the presence or absence of a new component of major urinary proteins (Mups), which is found in MOA mice, an inbred strain of Mus musculus molossinus (Japanese wild mice), is controlled by a single codorninant gene locus. The linkage analysis shows that the locus is on chromosome 4, where the Mup-1 locus is assigned; its alleles, Mup-1a and Mup-1b determine two phenotypic forms of MUPs In laboratory mice (M. m. domesticus). Recombinatlon values between the locus and other loci on chromosome 4, such as brown (b), Pgm-2, and Gpd-1 are compatible with the gene order, Mup-1-b—Pgm-2-Gpd-1, on chromosome 4. Thus, it is concluded that the locus is identical to Mup-1 and it is proposed that Mup-1c be designated as the allele that determines a third phenotypic form of MUPs in MOA mice.Read More
