After polyethylene glycol treatment of GPRT- mutant cells, 12 clones were isolated on the ATG medium showing intragenic complementation. Karyological analysis confirmed the hybrid nature of the clones isolated. The GPRT activity in the hybrid clones, as assessed in vitro, exceeded the sum of parental activities. In vivo incorporation of 14C-hypoxanthine showed the GPRT activity in the hybrids to be an order of magnitude higher than in the mutant parental cells. Moreover, the GPRT activity in the hybrid clones was found to increase considerably during cultivation on the ATG medium; hence, their ability to multiply on this selective medium. All hybrid cells surviving and multiplying on the ATG medium were shown to maintain a high enough resistance to 8-AG, 6-MP and, to somewhat less extent, to 6-TG. The frequency of complementation was determined for the cells of mutant clones selected on media with different purine base analogues. The complementation map for the GPRT locus was constructed and proved to be linear. Five groups of complementation were specified.

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.

D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D002999 Clone Cells A group of genetically identical cells all descended from a single common ancestral cell by mitosis in eukaryotes or by binary fission in prokaryotes. Clone cells also include populations of recombinant DNA molecules all carrying the same inserted sequence.

D003412 Cricetulus A genus of the family Muridae consisting of eleven species. C. migratorius, the grey or Armenian hamster, and C. griseus, the Chinese hamster, are the two species used in biomedical research.

D003470 Culture Media Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN. Media, Culture
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. Resistance, Drug

D005816 Genetic Complementation Test A test used to determine whether or not complementation (compensation in the form of dominance) will occur in a cell with a given mutant phenotype when another mutant genome, encoding the same mutant phenotype, is introduced into that cell.
