The mouse coat color mutant mahoganoid (md) darkens coat color and decreases the obesity of A(y) mice that ectopically overexpress agouti-signaling protein. The phenotypic effects of md are similar to those of the recently identified coat color mutant mahogany (Atrn(mg)). We report the positional cloning of mahoganoid, encoding a novel 494-amino acid protein containing a C3HC4 RING (really interesting new gene)...
