    Abstract

    It has been shown that the protein encoded by the MAX gene plays an important role in the physiological activity of Myc oncoproteins. In this study, we determined the chromosome location of the chicken MAX gene via fluorescence in situ hybridization. Hybridization of two biotinylated cloned fragments of 5.7 kb and 12.0 kb derived from the chicken MAX locus localized the gene to chromosome 5p. It is the third gene marker to be assigned to this telocentric macrochromosome. Since the MAX sequence is highly conserved both at the nucleotide and at the amino acid level in a wide range of vertebrate species, our data may provide evidence for the existence of a segmental homology between human and chicken chromosomes.
