Clone CSA7 is a CHEF18 hamster cell line that shows an increased intracellular accumulation of dCTP. To localize the mutations that accumulate spontaneously in a functional gene of such a mutator phenotype, independent CSA7 mutants of the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (hprt) gene were isolated and screened by a polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism technique. Sixty-two percent of mutants produced detectable changes of the strand migration profile and the mutations were preferentially localized in the exons 3 (31%) and 6 (62%). The sequencing of such exons revealed that the rate of C base incorporation was the major mutation pathway and that the A base of a GGA sequence was the preferential site of misincorporation.

Abstract
Clone CSA7 is a CHEF18 hamster cell line that shows an increased intracellular accumulation of dCTP. To localize the mutations that accumulate spontaneously in a functional gene of such a mutator phenotype, independent CSA7 mutants of the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (hprt) gene were isolated and screened by a polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism technique. Sixty-two percent of mutants produced detectable changes of the strand migration profile and the mutations were preferentially localized in the exons 3 (31%) and 6 (62%). The sequencing of such exons revealed that the rate of C base incorporation was the major mutation pathway and that the A base of a GGA sequence was the preferential site of misincorporation.Pubblicazioni consigliate
