Abstractβ-Catenin has emerged as an important component of the adherens junctions between epithelial cells. As a result of studies of its interaction with theAPC gene product, it has been implicated in the development of colorectal cancer. α-Catenin, β-catenin, E-cadherin and APC appear to mediate contact inhibition in epithelia. As part of the study of the organization of the β-catenin gene, we have isolated yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) to characterize its intron/exon structure. YAC fluorescencein situ hybridization analysis and polymerase chain reaction analysis of somatic cell hybrid DNAs show that β-catenin maps in the 3p21–22 region, the location of tumour-suppressor genes deleted in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and other disorders. β-Catenin YACs will provide a source of microsatellite markers useful in loss of heterozygosity studies to assess the importance of β-catenin deletions in SCLC.
