Summary A partial cDNA clone coding for the 110 carboxyterminal amino acids of human villin was used for mapping the human villin gene. In situ hybridization experiments on human chromosomes with tritiated probe allowed the regional localization of the villin locus to chromosome 2 at q35-36. Data obtained from restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of two mouse species demonstrated the assignment of the villin gene to mouse chromosome 1 by assessment of linkage with the fast skeletal isoform of the myosin light-chain gene. These villin gene localizations add a fourth locus to the conserved gene cluster encoding the fast skeletal muscle isoform of the myosin light chain, isocitrate dehydrogenase, and the γ crystallins and confirm the partial homology of the human chromosome 2 long arm and mouse chromosome 1.
