Thetcomplex spans 20 cM of the proximal region of mouse chromosome 17. A variant form, thethaplotype (t), exists at significant frequencies in wild mouse populations and is characterized by the presence of inversions that suppress recombination with wild-type (+) chromosomes. Transmission ratio distortion and sterility are associated withtand affect males only. It is hypothesized that these phenomena are caused bytrans-acting distorter/sterility factors that interact with a responder locus (Tcrt) and that the distorter and sterility factors are the same because homozygosity of the distorters causes male sterility. One factor,Tcd1, was previously shown to be amorphic using a chromosome deletion. To overcome limitations imposed by recombination suppression, we used a series of deletions within thetcomplexin transtotchromosomes to characterize theTcd1region. We find that the distorter activity ofTcd1is distinct from a linked sterility factor, originally calledtcs1.YACs mapped with respect to deletion breakpoints localizetcs1to a 1.1-Mb interval flanked byD17Aus9andTctex1.We present evidence for the existence of multiple proximaltcomplex regions that exhibit distorter activity. These studies demonstrate the utility of chromosome deletions for complex trait analysis.
