Abstract
Nine spontaneous and seven ethyl methanesulfonate induced revertants of the Chinese hamster ovary cell line mutant (tsHl), which possesses a temperature sensitive leucyl‐tRNA synthetase, were isolated and characterized with respect to growth rate, leucyl‐tRNA synthetase activity and thermolability, intracellular leucine pool size, and rRNA content. Although most revertants had increased leucyl‐tRNA synthetase activity, and of those tested, all but one had increased thermostability, each appears to be unique. One revertant may be an intergenic suppressor since it appears to contain an elevated level of tsHl‐like synthetase. There was no evidence for any of the revertants having increased rRNA and tRNA contents, however, many showed leucine pools two to three times larger than wild type cells. Since similar increases have been observed in tsHl cells they are believed to result from regulation of leucine pool size by the leucyl‐tRNA synthetase and are of a magnitude sufficient to affect significantly the growth of revertants at 38.5°C.This publication has 39 references indexed in Scilit:
