Localization of the genes encoding the catalytic subunits of protein phosphatase 2A to human chromosome bands 5q23-->q31 and 8p12-->p11.2, respectively.

The gene for the alpha isoform of the catalytic subunit of human protein phosphatase 2A (PPP2CA) was localized to chromosome 5 using somatic cell hybrids, and then more finely mapped to chromosome region 5q23-->q31 by in situ hybridization using a tritiated cDNA probe. The gene for the beta isoform of the catalytic subunit of this enzyme (PPP2CB) was mapped by the polymerase chain reaction to human chromosome 8 using somatic cell hybrids. Fluorescence in situ hybridization was then used to localize the PPP2CB gene to 8p12-->p11.2, using a mixture of three genomic probes that ranged from 3.5 to 8 kb in size. Finally, Southern blot analysis of somatic cell hybrid DNA suggested that a PPP2CB catalytic subunit pseudogene (PPP2CBP) is on chromosome 16.[1]
