RESUMO
Cloned cDNA sequences of the murine hypoxanthine/guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT; EC 2.4.2.8) gene have been isolated by using a mouse neuroblastoma cell line containing increased levels of a variant HPRT protein. We have used these sequences as probes to demonstrate that protein overproduction in this cell line is a consequence of at least a 20-fold increase in HPRT mRNA levels resulting from approximately 50-fold amplification of HPRT genomic sequences. The largest cDNA insert so far characterized represents about 70% of the HPRT mRNA sequence. This cDNA is shown to possess regions of homology with mRNA and DNA from Chinese hamster, baboon, and human, thus facilitating detailed analysis of this locus in these four species.
