X rays induce interallelic homologous recombination at the human thymidine kinase gene

Abstract
We have developed a human lymphoblast cell line for the study of interchromosomal homologous recombination at the endogenous thymidine kinase (tk) gene on chromosome 17 (M. B. Benjamin, H. Potter, D. W. Yandell, and J. B. Little, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 88:6652-6656, 1991). This cell line (designated 6:86) carries unique heterozygous frameshift mutations in exons 4 and 7 of its endogenous tk alleles and can revert to TK+ by frame-restoring mutations, gene conversion, or reciprocal recombination. Line 6:86 reverts spontaneously to TK+ at a frequency of 10(-7) to 10(-8), and exposures to X-irradiation or the frameshift mutagen ICR-191 induce increased reversion frequencies in a dose-dependent manner. Another cell line (designated 4:2) carries a homozygous exon 7 frameshift and is not expected to revert through mechanisms other than frame-restoring mutation. Line 4:2 reverts to TK+ at a lower spontaneous frequency than does 6:86 but can be induced with similar kinetics by ICR-191. In contrast to line 6:86, however, X rays did not induce detectable reversion of line 4:2. We have characterized a number of 6:86-derived revertants by means of restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis at tk and linked loci, single-strand conformation polymorphisms, and direct transcript sequencing. For X rays, most revertants retain both original mutations in the genomic DNA, and a subset of these frameshift-retaining revertants produce frameshift-free message, indicating that reversion is the result of reciprocal recombination within the tk gene. Frame-restoring point mutations, restoration of original sequences, and phenocopy reversion by acquisition of aminopterin resistance were also found among X-ray-induced revertants, whereas the ICR-191-induced revertants examined show only loss of the exon 7 frameshift.
