Isolation of diploid human lymphoblast mutants presumably homozygous for ouabain resistance.

چکیده
From a mass culture of diploid human lymphoblasts we have isolated a subline resistant to 1 muM ouabain, and from this, a subline resistant to 10 muM ouabain. These sublines occurred spontaneously, but similar mutants were induced with 10-fold increased frequency by treatment with mutagens, in which case they could be selected as clones in soft agarose. Scatchard plot analyses of ouabain binding indicated that the subline resistant to 1 muM ouabain retained an average of 39% of the high-affinity ouabain receptors of the parental lymphoblast line, and the subline resistant to 10 muM ouabain retained an average of 8.4%. The ouabain binding site is known to be located in the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3) molecule, an essential cell membrane enzyme that mediates ion transport. Studies on Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity, using (86)Rb in the absence and presence of ouabain, indicated that our parental lymphoblasts contained one population of Na(+),K(+)-ATPase molecules highly sensitive to ouabain inhibition, the subline resistant to 10 muM ouabain contained one population relatively insensitive to ouabain, and the subline resistant to 1 muM ouabain contained both populations. Thus, the moderately resistant subline appears to be heterozygous for ouabain resistance, probably containing a structural mutation in the ouabain receptor region of the Na(+),K(+)-ATPase molecule in one of the two homologous loci for this enzyme, whereas the highly resistant subline derived from it appears to be homozygous, containing an additional mutation in the other Na(+),K(+)-ATPase locus.

Analysis of HGPRT- CRM+ human lymphoblast mutants.
Three 6-thioguanine-resistant mutants of the human diploid lymphoblast line MGL-8 were studied. The inactivation by heat of both HGPRT activity and antigenicity of the HGPRT immunologically cross-reacting material of the A30 mutant cells were not protected by PRPP, indicating that the HGPRT in A30 cells has an altered PRPP binding site, leading to lack of stabilization and rapid degradation of ...
متن کاملIsolation and partial characterization of human cell mutants differing in sensitivity to killing and mutation by methylnitrosourea and N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine.
Isogenic variants resistant to alkylating agents have been isolated from the human lymphoblast cell line TK6. The cell lines may be divided into four classes on the basis of resistance to N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG). The sensitive TK6 parental line shows a 37% survival after 45-min exposure to 0.04 microM MNNG; the three classes of more resistant mutants show 37% survival after ...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of mutants which show an oversecretion phenotype in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
We have isolated mutants responsible for an oversecretion phenotype in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, using a promoter of SUC2 and the gene coding for alpha-amylase from mouse as a marker of secretion. These mutations defined two complementation groups, designated as ose1 (over secretion) and rgr1 (resistant to glucose repression). The ose1 mutant produced an oversecretion of amylase by 12- to 15-fo...
متن کاملMating type and sporulation in yeast. I. Mutations which alter mating-type control over sporulation.
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, meiosis and spore formation as well as mating are controlled by mating-type genes. Diploids heterozygous for mating type (aalpha) can sporulate but cannot mate; homozygous aa and alpha-alpha diploids can mate, but cannot sporulate. From an alpha-alpha diploid parental strain, we have isolated mutants which have gained the ability to sporulate. Those mutants which co...
