The occurrence of deletions, coding sequence alterations, and intronic changes leading to aberrant splicing has been characterized among 33 spontaneous HPRT- mutants in TK6 human lymphoblasts. Deletions detectable by multiplex PCR amplification accounted for 45% (15/33) of the mutant collection. Base substitutions represented 30% (10/33) of the total, and were predominated by changes at G:C base pairs. The remaining mutants were distributed among frameshifts (9%, 3/33), small deletions (6%, 2/33), and compound alterations (9%, 3/33). Five mutants (15%) demonstrated aberrant splicing of the hprt transcript. A cluster of 4 deletion/insertion events was identified in hprt exon 6. A nearly perfect 13 bp duplication differed from the original sequence only by an A:T to G:C transition, which was observed as a unique alteration in another HPRT- mutant. A model involving correction of a mismatch in a secondary structure formed by the duplicated sequence may account for these results.

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.

D008969 Molecular Sequence Data Descriptions of specific amino acid, carbohydrate, or nucleotide sequences which have appeared in the published literature and/or are deposited in and maintained by databanks such as GENBANK, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF), or other sequence repositories.

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
D009692 Nucleic Acid Heteroduplexes Double-stranded nucleic acid molecules (DNA-DNA or DNA-RNA) which contain regions of nucleotide mismatches (non-complementary). In vivo, these heteroduplexes can result from mutation or genetic recombination; in vitro, they are formed by nucleic acid hybridization. Electron microscopic analysis of the resulting heteroduplexes facilitates the mapping of regions of base sequence homology of nucleic acids.

D013489 Suppression, Genetic Mutation process that restores the wild-type PHENOTYPE in an organism possessing a mutationally altered GENOTYPE. The second "suppressor" mutation may be on a different gene, on the same gene but located at a distance from the site of the primary mutation, or in extrachromosomal genes (EXTRACHROMOSOMAL INHERITANCE).
