The growth of Chinese hamster ovary cells in medium containing reduced concentrations of threonine is inhibited by borrelidin, a macrolide antibiotic. Borrelidin-resistant clones have been isolated after ethyl methanesulfonate mutagenesis. One clone, 1C-1, has a 3-fold increased level of threonyl-tRNA synthetase [L-threonine:tRNAThr ligase (AMP-forming), EC 6.1.1.3] as determined by both activity measurements and antiserum titrations. The levels of four other aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases and of tRNAThr are the same in strain 1C-1 and in the wild-type parent. The phenotype of increased threonyl-tRNA synthetase activity is recessive to wild type in cell hybrids.
在含有低浓度苏氨酸的培养基中,中国仓鼠卵巢细胞的生长会受到大环内酯类抗生素博来霉素的抑制。经甲磺酸乙酯诱变后,已分离出博来霉素抗性克隆。通过活性测定和抗血清滴定确定,其中一个克隆1C-1的苏氨酰-tRNA合成酶[L-苏氨酸:tRNAThr连接酶(形成AMP),EC 6.1.1.3]水平增加了3倍。1C-1菌株和野生型亲本中其他四种氨酰-tRNA合成酶以及tRNAThr的水平相同。在细胞杂交体中,苏氨酰-tRNA合成酶活性增加的表型相对于野生型是隐性的。
