Abstract: |
Replication factor C is a multimeric primer-recognition protein consisting of five subunits (p145, p40, p38, p37, and p36.5) and is essential for the processive elongation of DNA chains catalyzed by DNA polymerase δ or ε{lunate} in human cells. We have mapped the locations on human chromosomes of the genes coding for the four smaller subunits [p36.5 (RFC5), p37 (RFC4), p38 (RFC3), and p40 (RFC2)] using both PCR amplification from DNAs of a panel of somatic hybrids and fluorescence in situ hybridization to bands 12q24.2-q24.3, 3q27, 13q12.3-q13, and 7q11.23, respectively. © 1995. |
