| Description: | An altered expression of the Yc subunit gene of rat glutathione S-transferase (GST) in the liver of the LEC rat, which is a mutant strain with spontaneous hereditary hepatitis associated with severe jaundice, has been reported. To provide further information concerning the structure of the Yc subunit gene, we carried out the Southern blot hybridization analysis of DNA samples from rats of eight different inbred strains including LEC with cDNA complementary to mRNA specific for the Yc subunit of rat liver GST as a probe. The hybridization patterns of the DNA samples from rats belonging to the different inbred strains showed interstrain variation in the length of restriction fragments with four restriction endonucleases. Since the DNA samples prepared from several rats of one inbred strain gave an identical hybridization pattern, the restriction fragment patterns for the Yc gene could be used as markers for genetic monitoring of inbred rat strains. Although the altered expression of Yc-Yc activity of GST has been observed in the liver of the LEC rat, the characteristic changes in the gene structure of the Yc subunit of LEC rat were not detected in the present hybridization analysis. |
