The rat MIS1/Pvt-1 locus is syntenic with MYC on chromosome 7

Abstract
Mouse Pvt-1 and rat MISl are frequent proviral integration sites in retrovirally induced lymphomas. The Pvt-1 locus is also involved in mouse plasmacytoma (6;15) and in the variant Burkitt lymphoma (2;8) translocations. We show that the Pvt-1/MISl locus is syntenic with MYC on rat chromosome 7. This is consistent with a postulate of close linkage and, possibly, a functional relationship between the MYC protoon-cogene and the MIS1/Pvt-1 locus.
