Enolase (EC 4.2.1.11) catalyzes the interconversion of 2-phosphoglycerate and phosphoenolpyruvate in the glycolytic pathway. In mammals there are at least three distinct forms of enolase that are discriminated by differences in their thermostability, reactivity to various antibodies, electrophoretic mobilities, and tissue distribution (Zomzely-Neurath, 1983). It has been proposed the human enolases are members of a multigene enzyme family (Chen and Giblett, 1976; Pearce et aZ., 1976). By isoenzyme analysis the gene locus ENOl, which encodes the human a- or nonneuronal enolase (NNE), has been mapped to the short arm of chromosome 1 (Khan et al., 1974) and EN02, encoding the human y- or neuron-specific enolase (NSE), was located on chromosome 12 (Grzeschik, 1974; Law and Kao, 1982). Reports of the existence of a third locus, EN03, encoding the /3-enolase, whose gene product is located primarily in adult skeletal muscle, have been based on biochemical and immunological data (Rider and Taylor, 1974). Only recently has the isolation of a cDNA for rat /3-enolasebeen reported (Ohshima et aZ., 1989).

While cDNAs for both a- and y-enolase mRNAs have been isolated from different species, the rat gene coding for y-enolase is the only gene that has been cloned and well characterized (Sakimura et aZ., 1987). In our attempts to identify and study the members of the human enolase gene family, we have isolated a number of overlapping genomic clones using (Y-and ycDNAs as probes (Giallongo et aZ., 1986; Oliva et al., 1989). A detailed molecular analysis of the structure, sequence, and expression of one of these clones, which we named XB.21 (Giallongo et aZ., manuscript in preparation), has confirmed that it represents the human gene for ,&enolase. Here we report the chromosomal localization of this gene. A 700-bp XbaI repeat-free fragment (X700), containing the last three exons of the gene, was isolated from the XB.21 phage clone and used as “mapping probe” in this study. On Southern blots of EcoRI-digested human genomic DNA, X700 detected only a 19kb restriction fragment. No cross-reaction with any sequence derived from the other enolase genes was detected under the hybridizing and washing conditions used (data not shown). To determine the chromosomal localization of the human P-enolase gene, the X700 fragment was used to screen Southern blots of EcoRI digested DNA from 12 rodent-human hybrids which contain various complements of human chromosomes. About 15 pg of DNA per lane was separated electrophoretically in 0.8% agarose gels and transblotted to Hybond-N nylon membranes (Amersham):The blots were hybridized at 65°C in a mixture containing 6X SSC (1X SSC is 150 mM NaCl and 15 mM sodium citrate, pH 7.0), 5~ Denhardt’s solution, 1% SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate), and 2-5 X lo6 cpm/ml of 32P-oligolabeled probe (Feinberg and Vogelstein, 1983) at a specific activity of l-2 X 10’

The human gene encoding the muscle-specific @enolase has been isolated. The &enolase gene was mapped to chromosome 17 by analysis of a panel of rodent-human somatic cell hybrids. The gene was further localized to the short arm and tentatively to the region 17pter-pl l by analysis of cell hybrids and transfectant cell lines carrying different portions of chromosome 17. o 1990 Academic press, I~C.

cpm/pg. After hybridization the blots were washed for 10 min at room temperature in 2X SSC plus 0.1% SDS, two times for 30 min at 65’C in 2X SSC plus 0.1% SDS, and one time for 30 min at 65°C in 0.2X SSC and then exposed to X-ray film with intensifying screens at -80°C for l-2 days. As shown in Table 1 no discordancies were found for the presence of XB.21 genomic sequence on chromosome 17 and at least three discordancies were found for its presence on any other chromosome; therefore the P-enolase gene can be unambiguously assigned to chromosome 17. This was further confirmed from the hybridization of the X700 probe to DNA from the somatic cell hybrid PCTBA1.8 (Bai et al., 1982) containing only a chromosome 17 as its human counterpart (Fig. 1, lane 1). To further localize the /3-enolase gene on chromosome 17, a second panel of somatic cell hybrids and chromosome-mediated gene transfer transfectants, containing various portions of human chromosome 17 (Xu et al., 1988), were screened with the X700 probe.

FIG. 1. Southern blot analysis and schematic representation of the presence or absence of portions of chromosome 17 in the panel of transfectants and somatic cell hybrids used. DNAs were digested with EcoRI, and hybridization was carried out as described in the text. Lane 1: PCTBA1.8 is a mouse-human somatic cell hybrid containing a chromosome 17 as its only human component (2). Lane 2: PJT2/Al is a hybrid containing the APL translocation chromosome (15q+) with the region of 17 below the breakpoint at 17q11.2-q12 (20). Lanes 3 and 4: KLT-8 and PLT-GB, respectively, are transfectant cell lines containing different portions of chromosome 17 (26). Lane 5: TRI-D62 is a mouse-human somatic cell hybrid containing as its only human component the long arm of chromosome 17 (24). Lane 5 was exposed four times longer than the other lanes.

As shown in Fig. 1 only DNA from the cell line PLT6B (lane 4) containing most of the short arm of chromosome 17 hybridized to the 8-enolase-specific probe, positioning the gene in the pter-pll region. The human sarcomeric myosin heavy-chain gene cluster has been mapped to the pter-pll region of chromosome 17 (Leinward et al., 1983; Edwards et al., 1985), while another cluster of myosin heavy-chain genes, specifically expressed in the heart, has been mapped on human chromosome 14 (Saez et al., 1987). It will be of particular interest to know whether the /3enolase gene and the sarcomeric myosin heavy-chain genesare closely linked and whether their chromosomal position has a role in the tissue-specific regulation of these genes.
