The multicopy appearance of a large inverted duplication and the sequence at the inversion joint suggest a new model for gene amplification

Abstract

The amplified DNA of HC50474, a Chinese hamster fibroblast cell line selected in three steps for high resistance to coformycin, consists chiefly of 150 copies of a large inverted duplication including the adenylate deaminase gene. Most if not all of these units are more than 2 x 120 kb long. The inverted duplication was first detected in the cells recovered from the second selection step, at the same chromosomal location as the first step amplified units. Its formation and amplification appear to be coupled since the second step cell line already contained 40 copies of this novel structure. Reamplification of the inverted duplication occurred at the third step of selection concomitant with the loss of amplified DNA acquired during the first step. The head-to-head junction has been formed by recombination within a recombinational hotspot described previously [Hyrien, O., Debatisse, M., Buttin, G. and Robert de Saint Vincent, B. (1987) EMBO J., 6, 2401-2408]. Sequences at the joint and in the corresponding wild-type region reveal that the crossover sites, one of which occurs in the putative promoter region of B2 repeat, are located at the top of significant stem-loop structures and that patchy homologies between the parental molecules on one side of the breakpoints allow alignment of these crossover sites. We present a model which explains the formation and amplification of this and other large inverted duplications by errors in DNA replication.
