Seven new loci, casein alpha-S1 (CSN1S1), casein alpha-S2 (CSN1S2), casein beta (CSN2), the Hardy-Zuckerman 4 feline sarcoma viral (v-kit) oncogene homolog (KIT), albumin (ALB), phosphodiesterase cyclic GMP (rod receptor) beta polypeptide (PDEB), and complement component 1 (IF), were assigned to sheep Chromosome (Chr) 6 by Southern hybridization to a panel of chromosomally characterized sheep x hamster cell hybrids. By isotopic in situ hybridization, CSN2 was regionally localized to sheep Chr (OOV) 6q22-q31, anchoring this syntenic group of markers on to OOV6 and confirming its homology at a molecular and cytological level with cattle Chr 6. The assignment of these loci, from PDEB (located on human Chr 4p16.3) to IF (on HSA4q24-q25), and the observation that interleukin 2 (IL2, on HSA4q26-q27) and tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO2, on HSA4q31) are not located on OOV6, is further evidence of the close evolutionary relationship of sheep and cattle and the conserved synteny in these species of this extensive region of human Chr 4. On the basis of this conserved synteny, and the similar G- and Q-banding patterns of this chromosome in cattle and sheep, we propose that this sheep chromosome be numbered as 6, not 4 as recommended by ISCNDA (1990).
