Chinese hamster cells were treated with ethyl methanesulfonate or N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, and mutants resistant to 8-azaguanine were selected and characterized. Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase activity of sixteen mutants is extremely negative, making them suitable for reversion to HGPRTase(+). Ten of the extremely negative mutants revert at a frequency higher than 10(-7) suggesting their point mutational character. The remaining mutants have demonstrable HGPRTase activity and are not useful for reversion analysis. Five of these mutants have < 2% HGPRTase and are presumably also HGPRTase point mutants. The remaining 14 mutants utilize exogenous hypoxanthine for nucleic acid synthesis poorly, and possess 20-150% of wild-type HGPRTase activity in in vitro. Their mechanism of 8-azaguanine resistance is not yet defined.
用甲磺酸乙酯或N-甲基-N'-硝基-N-亚硝基胍处理中国仓鼠细胞,然后筛选并鉴定对8-氮杂鸟嘌呤具有抗性的突变体。16个突变体的次黄嘌呤-鸟嘌呤磷酸核糖转移酶活性极低,这使得它们适合回复为HGPRTase(+)。其中10个极低活性突变体的回复频率高于10(-7),表明它们具有点突变特征。其余的突变体具有可检测到的HGPRTase活性,不适合用于回复分析。这些突变体中有5个的HGPRTase活性小于2%,推测也是HGPRTase点突变体。其余14个突变体利用外源性次黄嘌呤进行核酸合成的能力较差,在体外具有野生型HGPRTase活性的20%-150%。它们对8-氮杂鸟嘌呤的抗性机制尚未明确。
