Abstract
Somatic cell hybrids between mouse and human cell lines have been used to identify the specific chromosome that governs the synthesis of type I procollagen. Fourteen hybrid clones and subclones were derived independently from crosses between mouse parents [LM (thymidine kinase-negative) or A9 (hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase-negative)] and human cells (human diploid lung fibroblasts WI-38 or diploid skin fibroblasts GM5, GM17, and GM9). The cultures were labeled with [(3)H]proline in modified Eagle's medium without serum. Radioactive procollagens were purified from the medium by the method of Church et al. [(1974) J. Mol. Biol. 86, 785-799]. DEAE-cellulose chromatography was used to separate collagen and type I and type III procollagen. Human type I procollagen was assayed by double immunodiffusion analysis with type I procollagen antibodies prepared by immunizing rabbits with purified human type I procollagen. These analyses combined with karyology and isozyme analyses of each hybrid line have produced evidence for the assignment of the gene for human type I procollagen to chromosome 17. A human microcell-mouse hybrid cell line containing only human chromosome 17 was positive for human type I procollagen, lending further support to the assignment of the human type I procollagen gene to chromosome 17. Finally, by using a hybrid line containing only the long arm of human chromosome 17 translocated onto a mouse chromosome, the type I procollagen gene can be assigned more specifically to the long arm of chromosome 17.Keywords
