High impact information on H2-M2

  • We have determined the genomic sequence of H2-M2 in seven haplotypes from nine inbred strains of mice and in five wild-derived haplotypes [1].
  • Murine MHC class Ib gene, H2-M2, encodes a conserved surface-expressed glycoprotein [1].
  • The genetic length between D17Leh89-D17Mit64 and Pgk2-Aeg can be estimated as 0.5-0.7 centiMorgan (cM), and the most distal class I gene, H2-M2, can be placed 0.3-1.0 cM proximal to the t-inversion breakpoint [2].
  • This report describes a newly identified nonclassical class I gene, Thy19.4, which contains an open reading frame and resembles in several regards the genes encoding classical class I molecules [3].
  • The similarities include shared amino acid sequence motifs which suggest that the putative Thy19.4 molecule may assume a tertiary structure similar to that of the classical class I molecules, as well as widespread transcription in a variety of tissues [3].
