(a)
The gene symbols are assigned according to the official guidelines
of the NAT Gene Nomenclature Committee. Previous
(b)
The position of SNPs in each
ORF is determined relative to the A of the ATG translation initiation codon,
which is always considered as number 1. The first methionine of each NAT
protein is amino acid number 1, with polymorphic amino acid positions
determined accordingly. The reference allele of each NAT2 gene (usually
the wild type allele or the first allele identified in a specific organism) is
assigned symbol NAT2*1.
(c)
Studied western European
house mouse (Mus musculus
domesticus) laboratory strains: i) inbred C57Bl/6J [6,7], Balb/c [8], C3H/HeJ [9], 129/Ola [10], CBA [10] (all carry the Nat2*1 wild-type allele and
are fast acetylators), A/J [6,7] and A/HeJ [9] (both carry the Nat2*2 allele and are slow
acetylators), ii) outbred CD1 [11] (mixed population
carrying both Nat2*1 and Nat2*2 alleles), PO [10] and TO [10] (both carry
the Nat2*1 wild-type allele and are fast acetylators). Also, the
wild-derived inbred strains Mus musculus castaneus (southestern Asian
house mouse carrying the slow Nat2*3 allele) and Mus spretus (western
wild mouse carrying the slow Nat2*4 allele) [10].
