  • Title: Provisional assignment of TPI, GPI, and PEPD to Chinese hamster autosomes 8 and 9: a cytogenetic basis for functional haploidy of an autosomal linkage group in CHO cells.

    Abstract:
    Concordant segregation analysis of Chinese hamster (Cricetulus griseus) isozymes and chromosomes segregating from interspecific somatic cell hybrids made with mouse C11D cells revealed the locations of GPI and PEPD on chromosome 9 and TPI on chromosome 8 in both euploid Chinese hamster and CHO cells. The patterns of electrophoretically detectable shift mutants of these loci in CHO cells were consistent with the observed presence of two normally banded chromosome 8's and monosomy for chromosome 9. These findings and the isolation of three independent, null PEPD mutants in only 527 ethyl methansulfonate-exposed clones indicate that the high frequency of recovery of recessive drug resistant mutants in CHO cells may be due not only to haploidy caused by deletions and monosomy but also by great sensitivity of certain loci to particular mutagens.
