RESUMO
Histidinol-resistant (HisOHR) mutants with up to a 30-fold increase in histidyl-tRNA synthetase activity have been isolated by stepwise adaptation of wild-type Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells to increasing amounts of histidinol in the medium. Immunoprecipitation of [35S]methionine-labeled cell lysates with antibodies to histidyl-tRNA synthetase showed increased synthesis of the enzyme in histidinol-resistant cells. The histidinol-resistant cell lines had an increase in translatable polyadenylated mRNA for histidyl-tRNA synthetase. A cDNA for CHO histidyl-tRNA synthetase has been cloned, using these histidyl-tRNA synthetase-overproducing mutants as the source of mRNA. Southern blot analysis of wild-type and histidinol-resistant cells with this cDNA showed that the histidyl-tRNA synthetase DNA bands were amplified in the resistant cells. These HisOHR cells owed their resistance to histidinol to amplification of the gene for histidyl-tRNA synthetase.
