Isolation of electrophoretic mobility shift mutants for a large number of enzyme loci in CHO cells has allowed the identification of many genes which are functionally hemizygous. To gain further insight into the nature of hemizygosity in CHO cells and the mechanisms by which it has arisen, we are attempting to determine whether hemizygous gene loci are clustered in a few localized chromosomal regions in CHO or are more generally distributed throughout the genome. Isozyme analysis of a series of CHO electrophoretic mobility shift mutants for MDH2 (malate dehydrogenase 2, EC 1.1.1.37) revealed that this locus is functionally hemizygous in CHO cells, but the locus could not be mapped by conventional approaches because of the similar electrophoretic mobilities of Chinese hamster and mouse MDH2 isozymes. Construction of intraspecific CHO X CHO hybrids using electrophoretic mobility shift mutants with secondary, selectable drug-resistance markers allowed us to determine that MDH2 is not closely linked to any previously mapped hemizygous marker loci in CHO, but is linked to alleles for two dizygous gene loci, PGM3 and APRT, on CHO chromosome Z7. A possible genetic basis for hemizygosity of the MDH2 locus in CHO cells is discussed.

Analysis of CHO electrophoretic mobility shift mutants for six enzyme loci ( LDHA , GAA, IDH2 , ME1, PGM3, and MPI) that have been previously mapped to Chinese hamsters chromosomes 3 and 4 indicated that each of these loci, with the exception of IDH2 , are functionally dizygous in CHO. Segregation analysis of CHO X mouse somatic cell hybrids allowed regional gene mapping assignments for a total of eight Chinese hamster chromosome 3- or 4-derived marker loci (the above six, plus APRT and PKM2) to CHO chromosomes Z3 , Z4 , Z5 , and Z7 . For seven of these enzyme loci (all but IDH2 ), two alleles are expressed in CHO cells, each segregating with a different Z-group chromosome. These gene mapping assignments confirm genetically that CHO chromosomes Z3 , Z4 , Z5 , and Z7 are, in fact, derived from Chinese hamster chromosomes 3 and 4, and provide insight into the effects of chromosomal rearrangements on gene expression and hemizygosity in CHO cells.
