Mitotic separation of two human X-linked genes in man--mouse somatic cell hybrids.

چکیده
SIX INTERSPECIFIC SOMATIC HYBRID CELL LINES WERE DERIVED FROM A MOUSE LINE DEFICIENT IN HYPOXANTHINE: guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT) and human diploid cells with normal enzyme activity. Human HGPRT was present in all six hybrids and the clones derived from them. However, in two of the six, and in some clones from another two, human glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) was absent. Since the structural loci for both these enzymes are X-linked in man, these findings suggest that these two loci have separated quite frequently through chromosome breakage and that they must be rather far apart on the X chromosome.

Man-mouse and man-Syrian hamster somatic hybrid cell lines were prepared by fusion of mouse A9 or hamster TG2 cells, which are deficient in hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase, with cells of a diploid fibroblastic strain, KOP-1, derived from a woman heterozygous for an X-autosome translocation. 61 clones were derived in nonselective medium and 85 sublines of these were derived in se...

Somatic cell hybrid clones were isolated from the fusion of RPC 5,4 mouse myeloma cells and B lymphocytes from three patients with agammaglobulinemia. One patient had X-linked agammaglobulinemia; the remaining two patients had common varied agammaglobulinemia. All three patients had B lymphocytes which fail to secrete immunoglobulin. The hybrid nature of the clones was established by examinatio...
متن کاملGene transfer by means of cell fusion. II. The mapping of 8 loci on human chromosome 1 by statistical analysis of gene assortment in somatic cell hybrids.
A method is described which should permit determination of the order and spacing of genes on all human chromosomes by the analysis of just one set of man-mouse hybrid cells. This method is used to determine the map of 8 loci on human chromosome I. A comparison of the statistical maps of chromosome I and of the X-chromosome with the cytogenetic maps of these chromosomes at metaphase indicates th...

Human genes coding for hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT, EC 2.4.2.8; IMP:pyrophosphate phosphoribosyltransferase), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD, EC 1.1.1.49; D-glucose-6-phosphate:NADP+ 1-oxidoreductase), and phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK, EC 2.7.2.3; ATP:3-phospho-D-glycerate 1-phosphotransferase) have been assigned to specific regions on the long arm of the X chromosome ...
متن کاملInduction of XIST expression from the human active X chromosome in mouse/human somatic cell hybrids by DNA demethylation.
X chromosome inactivation occurs early in mammalian development to transcriptionally silence one of the pair of X chromosomes in females. The XIST RNA, a large untranslated RNA that is expressed solely from the inactive X chromosome, is implicated in the process of inactivation. As previous studies have shown that the XIST gene is methylated on the active X chromosome, we have treated a mouse/h...
