Abstract

Chromosomal locations have been assigned for the octamer transcription factor, Otf, gene family (previously named the octamer-binding protein, Oct, gene family) using an interspecific backcross of [(C57BL6J × Mus spretus)F1 × C57BL6J] mice and the BXH recombinant inbred strains. Molecular probes for Otf-1 and Otf-2 recognized single loci on mouse chromosomes 1 and 7, respectively, whereas probes for otf-3 recognized a minimum of eight independently segregating loci (designated Otf-3a through Otf-3h). Members of the Otf-3 family mapped to mouse chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 6, 14, 17, and the X chromosome, indicating that the Otf family has become widely dispersed during evolution. Several Otf loci mapped near developmental mutations, raising the possibility that these mutations result from defects in Otf family members.
