Abstract

A 1.1-kb human DNA fragment (ARSH1) capable of functioning as a putative origin of replication in yeast cells has been characterized both by in situ hybridization to human metaphase chromosomes and by DNA sequencing. Our hybridization studies show a preferential localization of ARSH1 in chromosome regions 1p34-36 and 2q34-37. DNA sequence analysis indicates that in addition to the consensus sequence required for ARS function in yeast cells, nuclear matrix-associated DNA motifs are also present in the 1.1-kb fragment. These results suggest that ARSH1 sequences may serve as points of anchorage to the nuclear matrix for chromosomes 1 and 2.
