TL;DR
Synteny analysis in 72 primary and secondary hybrid clones provides evidence for an assignment of the gene for phosphoribosylglycineamide formyltransferase (GART, EC 2.2.1.2), deficient in ade− E mutants, to human chromosome 14.
Abstract
Purine-requiring Chinese hamster ovary cell auxotrophs of the complementation class ade-E were hybridized with various human cells, and hybrids were isolated under selective conditions in which the retention of the complementing gene on the human chromosome is necessary for survival. Synteny analysis in 72 primary and secondary hybrid clones using isozyme, karyotypic, and biochemical methods provides evidence for an assignment of the gene for phosphoribosylglycineamide formyltransferase (GART, EC 2.1.2.2), deficient in ade-E mutants, to human chromosome 14. The importance of this gene assignment to the development of hypotheses regarding the organization, structure, and regulation of genes involved in the same biosynthetic pathway in mammalian cells is discussed.

The hybridization of specific Chinese hamster cell auxotrophs with human cells and selection in media lacking the nutritional supplements required by the former cells, a series of stable hybrid clones can be prepared and appears to lend itself to various studies such as identification of human cell surface antigens, determination of their chromosomal loci, measurement of their distribution among cells of normal human tissues.

Because at least two genes for purine biosynthesis have now been assigned to chromosome 21, and because patients with trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) show increased levels of serum purines, it may be that cells of these patients overproduce purines and that this overproduction may be relevant to the pathology of the syndrome.

Support for their interaction is found in the kinetic coupling of the trifunctional protein and GAR TFase activities that leads to a fourfold more efficient formation of formylglycinamide ribotide commencing with formate rather than with 5,10-methenyl-H4folate triglutamate.

Results provide evidence indicating that glycinamide ribonucleotide synthetase is syntenic with superoxide dismutase (soluble) and is located on human chromosome 21.

It is concluded that the human gene coding for the enzyme FPGS which complements the auxotrophic mutant GAT- in the CHO-K1 cells can be assigned to human chromosome 9 and provides an additional selective marker for mammalian cell genetic analysis.

X linkage of the structural gene for human phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase is confirmed and assignment of this gene to a position on the long arm of the X, between the loci for alpha-galactosidase and hypoxanthine-guanine phosphorIBosyltransferase is supported.

Purine biosynthesis was studied in 8 mutants of Chinese hamster cells which require purines for growth and in wild-type cells which do not show this nutritional requirement, and two mutants are believed to be defective in steps very early in the purine biosynthetic pathway.

Ade−H and ade−I are two auxotrophic mutants of Chinese hamster ovary cells which specifically require adenine as the purine source to grow which did not have any detectable adenylosuccinate synthetase activity and ado−I was defective in theadenylOSuccinate lyase enzyme.

This chapter describes the intermediates in purine nucleotide synthesis and suggests that when prepared from formylglycinamide ribotide purified by a second passage through Dowex 1-acetate, the glycinamide Ribotide should be essentially free from organic contaminants and is satisfactory for enzymatic studies.

Biochemical analysis of deno purine synthesis in whole cells suggests that Ade− G is capable of the first four reactions of de novo purine biosynthesis and that it synthesizes and accumulates phosphoribosylformylglycinamidine (FGAM), but direct enzyme assay in cell-free extracts confirms that this mutant is defective in phosphoribo-sylaminoimidazole synthetase activity.

Analysis of purine synthesis in wild-type, mutant, and revertant cells and analysis of relevant enzyme activities in cell-free extracts prepared from these cells demonstrates that Ade − P AB is similar to Ade + B in that it has lost FGAM synthetase activity, and is similar in that It has lost glutamine-dependent amidophosphoribosyltransferase activity.
