We have determined the molecular basis of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (hprt) mutations that arose in vivo in the T lymphocytes of a normal male subject. In previous studies approximately 16% (23/141) of the mutants from this individual analyzed by Southern blot displayed large structural alterations in hprt. Thirty-two mutants without these large hprt structural alterations produced sufficient hprt cDNA for polymerase chain reaction amplification and DNA sequence analysis. Base substitutions in hprt cDNA resulting in missense mutations and one mRNA splicing aberration (inclusion of intron sequences) were observed in 18/32 of these these mutants; substitutions occurred at both AT and GC base pairs. Small deletions (3/32), a tandem change and a single base insertion were also observed among the hprt cDNAs. Exon skipping and inclusion of hprt intron sequences in the hprt cDNA were observed in an additional 9/32 of the mutants. Analysis of T cell receptor (TCR) gene rearrangements revealed that six of eight mutants with an identical hprt T----A transversion displayed the same TCR rearrangement pattern, indicating that they were clonally related and arose from a single in vivo mutational event.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007041 Hypoxanthine Phosphoribosyltransferase An enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate and hypoxanthine, guanine, or MERCAPTOPURINE to the corresponding 5'-mononucleotides and pyrophosphate. The enzyme is important in purine biosynthesis as well as central nervous system functions. Complete lack of enzyme activity is associated with the LESCH-NYHAN SYNDROME, while partial deficiency results in overproduction of uric acid. EC 2.4.2.8.

D007438 Introns Sequences of DNA in the genes that are located between the EXONS. They are transcribed along with the exons but are removed from the primary gene transcript by RNA SPLICING to leave mature RNA. Some introns code for separate genes.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
