Somatic cell hybrids obtained from the fusion of human B lymphocytes and an asparagine synthetase-deficient Chinese hamster ovary cell line were isolated after growth in asparagine-free medium. The human and hamster forms of asparagine synthetase differ significantly in their rate of inactivation at 47.5 degrees C. The asparagine synthetase activity expressed in the hybrids was inactivated at 47.5 degrees C at the same rate as the human form of the enzyme. Karyotypic analysis and analysis for chromosome-specific enzyme markers showed that the structural gene for asparagine synthetase is located on chromosome 7 in humans. The heat-inactivation profile for asparagine synthetase in extracts of hybrids formed between human peripheral leukocytes and a hamster cell line expressing asparagine synthetase activity was intermediate between the two parental types when human chromosome 7 was present, but was identical to the hamster parent when chromosome 7 was absent.
