A spectrum of 100 mutations in the endogenous hprt gene of the human lymphoblastoid TK6 cell line is presented. The majority of the mutations originates in sequences outside the coding region of the gene. Large deletions are a major cause of inactivation of the hprt gene (57% of the mutants). Mutations in the splice sites that result in several forms of aberrantly spliced mRNA are relatively frequently recovered (16%) compared with mutants containing alterations in the coding region of the hprt gene (27%). The majority, but not all, of the splice mutants contain an alteration in the consensus sequences of the splice sites. A spectrum of mutations in the coding region of the hprt gene enlarged to a total of 42 mutants shows that basepair substitutions predominate (71%) and that small deletions and insertions are less frequently recovered. Basepair substitutions arise slightly more frequently at GC basepairs than at AT basepairs.

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.

D003062 Codon A set of three nucleotides in a protein coding sequence that specifies individual amino acids or a termination signal (CODON, TERMINATOR). Most codons are universal, but some organisms do not produce the transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER) complementary to all codons. These codons are referred to as unassigned codons (CODONS, NONSENSE).
