Description
Summary:HuC is a neural-specific member of the Elav family of RNA-binding proteins. This highly conserved gene family plays a crucial role in neurogenesis, andHuC(HGMW-approved symbol ELAVL3) is expressed at an early stage of neural development. Using a novel tyramide fluorescencein situhybridization (T-FISH) technique, we localizedHuCto chromosome 19p13.2. This localization was confirmed by radiation hybrid mapping and coincides with that ofHuR(HGMW-approved symbol ELAVL1), anotherelavfamily member. Dual T-FISH analysis withHuCandHuRprobes, however, indicated distinct loci, withHuCbeing centromeric to HuR. This study demonstrates the utility of T-FISH in colocalizing two genes on the same chromosomal preparation using only biotinylated probes.
