Gene: [09q341/SURF1] surfeit 1 (mouse housekeeping gene homolog); Leigh syndrome (MIM:256000);

EAG

[1] In the murine genome, Surf-1 is identified within a cluster of six so called 'housekeeping' genes, which are not, however, structurally similar (Colombo-1992). Functions of three of them (having no introns) are not clear yet. SURF3 is the only intron-containing gene. It codes for the ribosomal protein L7a (GEM:09q341/RPL7A) (Giallongo-1989). The cluster is characterized by the fact that all the four genes are intensively expressed and are located exclusively close to each other: there are just several tens base pairs between them, instead of tens or hundreds kilobases, as is usually the case. The human homologues of these genes are identified provisionally, on the basis of analysis of hybridization with the corresponding murine DNA probes.
[2] In the murine genome, the Surf cluster is physically linked to abl protooncogene (Stubbs-1990) and to one of the morphogenetic genes (Hox-5). In the human genome, this cluster is also closely linked to the gene ABL (GEM:09q341/ABL1), however, the 'homeo box' genes are not currently revealed in this human chromosome (in contrast to murine Chr 2)."
