Abstract: | Two temperature-sensitive mutants (ts1 and ts3) have been isolated from murine leukemic cells, L5178Y, after mutagenesis and cytosine arabinoside selection. Both ts1 and ts3 grew normally at the permissive temperature (33 °C) but not at the non-permissive temperature (39 °C). Consistent results were obtained with the growth patterns in suspension culture as well as the plating efficiencies in soft agar. Temperature shift experiments showed that the mutant cells remained viable after extended exposure to the non-permissive temperature. Labeling studies with radioactive precursors indicated that the synthesis of DNA, but not of RNA or protein, was affected in these mutants at 39 °C. The defective function of ts3 cells was substantially corrected by supplementing alanine, hypoxanthine, and pyruvate. |
