RESUMO
In a collection of spontaneous mutants of Chinese hamster ovary cells selected for deficiency in adenine phosphoribosyl transferase (aprt) activity, one was detected having not only a deletion of aprt coding sequences but also an apparent amplification of remaining sequences. The HindIII fragment bearing the novel joint was cloned and sequenced revealing a complex gene rearrangement. A deletion of at least 9 kb extending upstream from the aprt locus is accompanied by an inverted duplication of flanking sequences 672 bp downstream from the novel joint. This unit is amplified three to four times with the net result of some sequences being increased as much as eight fold in copy number because of the duplication. The fidelity of the sequences involved is preserved. We propose a model which could account for this inverted duplication.
