Cell-cycle-specific cDNAs from mammalian cells temperature sensitive for growth (original) (raw)

Abstract

A library of double-stranded cDNA was constructed from ts13 cells, a G1-specific temperature-sensitive hamster cell line. The cDNAs, cloned into pBR322, were prepared from poly(A)+ mRNA isolated from ts13 cells 6 hr after serum stimulation at the permissive temperature of 34 degrees C. Differential screening of the library with G1-specific and G0-specific single-stranded cDNA probes prepared from the same cells identified five cDNA clones whose sequences were preferentially expressed in G1. Levels of RNA complementary to these clones were 3- to 6-fold higher in G1 than in other phases of the cell cycle. When ts13 cells were arrested in G1 at the restrictive temperature of 39.6 degrees C, the levels of RNA complementary to p13-2A9 and p13-4F1 were as high as 10 times that found in a resting population, while the expression of sequences complementary to p13-2A8 did not significantly change from levels found in G0. RNA and Southern gel blot analysis suggest that these cell-cycle-specific clones represent either low copy or moderately repetitive gene sequences. Results with another ts mutant of the cell cycle, tsAF8, which is a ts mutant of RNA polymerase II, showed that these cell-cycle-specific sequences have a rapid turnover. The use of G1-specific ts mutants of the cell cycle provides an approach to determine which cell-cycle-dependent genes are most relevant to cell cycle progression.
