Chromosome-mediated gene transfer (CMGT) lines were shown to be convenient donors of genomic sequences from specific regions of the genome adjacent to selectable markers. Two libraries were prepared from CMGT lines carrying sequences spanning the long arm of the human X chromosome from HPRT (Xq26) to G6PD (Xq28). A series of 22 CMGT lines sharing the same selectable marker (HPRT) were used in conjunction with five standard translocation hybrids to provide fine-resolution regional mapping of the nonrepetitive X specific probes isolated from the libraries. The order of three human recombinant sequences with respect to known X-linked markers is: PGK (Xq13), 05-02 (DXS78); HPRT (Xq26), 07-03 (DXS79); surface antigen S11 (Xq27), 07-14 (DXS80); and G6PD (Xq28).

In order to extend comparative mapping studies to the monotreme mammals (subclass Prototheria), somatic-cell hybrids were obtained between Chinese-hamster cells deficient in hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) and platypus fibroblasts. The characteristics of these hybrids closely resemble those of metatherian x eutherian hybrids, in that they are recovered at low frequency and they rapidly segregate and fragment platypus chromosomes. Biochemical and cytological studies of the hybrids, their subclones and HPRT-deficient revertants indicate that phosphoglycerate kinase is syntenic with HPRT in the platypus (as it is in other mammals); however, the studies do not permit chromosomal assignment of the syntenic group. The implications of the chromosomal location of this ancient synteny group for the evolution of the mammalian X chromosome are discussed.

Mammalian sex-dosage compensation is mediated by maintaining activity of only one X chromosome. The asynchronous DNA synthesis characterizing the silent human X chromosome is thought to be reversible only during ontogeny of oocytes. We have previously shown that the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) locus (G6PD) on the allocyclic X chromosome in chorionic villi is partially expressed. We now show that in hybrids derived from a clone of chorionic villi cells (heterozygous for G6PD A) and mouse A9 cells, the loci for G6PD, hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) and phosphoglycerate kinase are expressed on both human X chromosomes; the human X chromosomes carrying either G6PD A or B replicate synchronously with each other and with murine chromosomes. The X chromosome with G6PD A was identified as the original late-replicating X, because methylation in the body of the HPRT gene on this chromosome remained characteristic of the inactive X chromosome. These results indicate that X-chromosome inactivation is completely reversible in cells of trophoblast origin; induction of full transcriptional activity is accompanied by acquisition of isocyclic replication, showing an intimate relationship between these processes. The molecular events responsible for this reversal may be similar to those occurring during maturation of oocytes. Chorionic villi and derivative hybrids provide in vitro models for exploring early events that program the single active X chromosome.

Human XX lymphoblastoid cells with a deletion in the HPRT locus on the active X were exposed to HPRT clone pHPT32. HPRT+ isolates GPT3 and GPT5 lacked pHPT32 DNA, suggesting that their HPRT+ phenotype resulted from expression of a cellular gene. GPT3 mutated to thioguanine resistance at least 100 times more frequently than cells in which the expressed HPRT locus was on the active X. Most GPT3-derived HPRT- had lost one entire X chromosome, indicating that the HPRT+ phenotype of GPT3 resulted from derepression of the HPRT locus on its inactive X. Virtually unchanged G6PD and PGK activities and the presence of a late-replicating X in GPT3 suggest that derepression of the inactive X was not general. Eleven of the GPT3-derived mutants had a tiny centric remnant that may result from a frequently operative mechanism of X chromosome loss. The detection of partial or complete loss of an X by direct selection presents unusual opportunities for genotoxicity detection with human cells.

A series of M. rufogriseus-mouse somatic cell hybrids was constructed and analysed cytologically, enzymatically and immunologically. A monoclonal antibody, GA-1, was prepared against an M. rufogriseus cell surface antigen on an M. rufogriseus-mouse somatic cell hybrid. A gene determining the expression of this antigen was provisionally assigned to the long arm of the M. rufogriseus chromosome 3. The monoclonal antibody also reacted with an M. rufus (red kangaroo)-mouse somatic cell hybrid containing only the M. rufus chromosome 5, the G-banded chromosome identical to M. rufogriseus 3q. The results also suggest synteny of the genes for the marsupial enzymes hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase and phosphoglycerate kinase-A.

Man-mouse and man-Syrian hamster somatic hybrid cell lines were prepared by fusion of mouse A9 or hamster TG2 cells, which are deficient in hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase, with cells of a diploid fibroblastic strain, KOP-1, derived from a woman heterozygous for an X-autosome translocation. 61 clones were derived in nonselective medium and 85 sublines of these were derived in selective media: 53 in hypoxanthine-aminopterine-thymidine and 32 in 8-azaguanine. All three human X-linked markers studied, i.e., hypoxanthineguanine phosphoribosyl transferase (EC 2.4.2.8), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49), and phosphoglycerate kinase (EC 2.7.2.3), were present together, or absent together, in most of these clones and sublines. However, loss or retention of only phosphoglycerate kinase was occasionally observed, even in the absence of selective growth, while no evidence of separation of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase from glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase occurred. Cytological examination of eight man-hamster clonal lines by the quinacrine fluorescent technique showed that human phosphoglycerate kinase was only present when the translocation chromosome carrying most of the long arm of the X chromosome was present. The presence of human glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase was not related to the presence or absence of this chromosome, but appeared to be correlated with the presence of the other translocation chromosome.

We have determined the sequence of an 812-bp BamHI-EcoRI restriction fragment containing the 5' region of the human gene for PGK (3-phosphoglycerate kinase or ATP:3-phospho-D-glycerate 1-phosphotransferase; EC 2.7.2.3). The fragment contains 450 bp 5' to three start points for transcription (located by primer extension and S1 nuclease mapping), a leader sequence 85-94 bp long, the first exon of gene (65 bp), and part of the first intron. The promoter region is extremely G + C-rich, lacks a TATA box, and has an 8-bp direct repeat. A comparison of the promoter region for PGK with other promoters on the X-chromosome reveals homology with the promoter for HPRT, but not with the operator for factor IX.

A mouse-human somatic cell hybrid clone, deficient in hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) and containing a structurally normal inactive human X chromosome, was isolated. The hybrid cells were treated with 5-azacytidine and tested for the reactivation and expression of human X-linked genes. The frequency of HPRT-positives clones after 5-azacytidine treatment was 1000-fold greater than that observed in untreated hybrid cells. Fourteen independent HPRT-positive clones were isolated and analyzed for the expression of human X markers. Isoelectric focusing showed that the HPRT expressed in these clones is human. One of the 14 clones expressed human glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and another expressed human phosphoglycerate kinase. Since 5-azacytidine treatment results in hypomethylation of DNA, DNA methylation may be a mechanism of human X chromosome inactivation.

A mouse-human cell hybrid clone retaining an inactive human X chromosome was treated with 5-azacytidine. Following treatment, expression of the X-linked enzyme markers, hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK), and alpha-galactosidase A (GLA) was examined. Results presented here show that 45 of the 62 clones positive for human HPRT expressed human GLA, while only four of 68 clones negative for human HPRT expressed human GLA. These results strongly suggest that there is coordinate reactivation of GLA and HPRT. Reactivated expression of G6PD was studied in detail. The studies show that 5-azacytidine can induce heritable changes in the inactive human X chromosome resulting in the expression of G6PD activity at a level lower than that from an active human X chromosome.

Bovine embryonic trachea cells were hybridized with mouse A9 cells deficient in hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase, and cattle-mouse hybrid cells clones were isolated after HAT/ouabain selection. In these interspecific cell hybrids, bovine glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, alpha-galactosidase, and phosphoglycerate kinase were expressed concordantly with bovine HPRT. Their expression depended on the presence of bovine X chromosome. These data indicated that the genes for G6PD, PGK, and HPRT are linked and can be assigned to the bovine X chromosome.
