UV-induced mutagenesis at the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase locus in two L5178Y mouse lymphoma cell strains with different UV sensitivities. 1984

E D Jacobson, and K Krell, and Z Olempska-Beer, and J Z Beer

Two strains of L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells, L5178Y-R (LY-R) and L5178Y-S (LY-S), differ markedly in their sensitivity to 254 nm UV radiation (D0 = 0.7 and 5.5 J/m2; n = 6.0 and 2.0 for LY-R and LY-S cells, respectively). In this study, the frequency of hypoxanthine-guanine-phosphoribosyl-transferase-deficient mutants was determined, using 6-thioguanine (TG) as a selective agent, in populations of LY-R and LY-S cells exposed to various fluences of UV radiation. The spontaneous mutation frequency for LY-R cells was (3.7 +/- 0.6) X 10(-5) TGr mutants per viable cell, and the UV induction rate was (2.2 +/- 0.8) X 10(-4) TGr mutants per viable cell, per J/m2. Both spontaneous and induced mutation frequencies were much lower for LY-S cells. The spontaneous mutation frequency for these cells were too low to make its measurement practicable (less than 0.0013 X 10(-5) TGr mutants per viable cell). Mutation induction rate was (4.2 +/- 2.2) X 10(-7) TGr mutants per viable cell, per J/m2. These differences in mutability do not appear to be due to gene duplication in LY-S cells, or to selective growth disadvantage of LY-S-derived TG-resistant mutants. Possible mechanisms underlying the differences in mutability of LY-R and LY-S cells are considered.

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.

D004351 Drug Resistance Diminished or failed response of an organism, disease or tissue to the intended effectiveness of a chemical or drug. It should be differentiated from DRUG TOLERANCE which is the progressive diminution of the susceptibility of a human or animal to the effects of a drug, as a result of continued administration.
