Regulation of the capacity for O6-methylguanine removal from DNA in human lymphoblastoid cells studied by cell hybridization.

Hybrids were made between a ouabain-resistant, thioguanine-resistant human lymphoma line able to remove O6-methylguanine from its DNA (Mex+) and human lymphoblastoid lines deficient in this capability (Mex-). The formation of hybrids was confirmed by chromosomal analysis. Hybrid cells had an O6-methylguanine removal capacity per mole of guanine about one third to one half that of the Mex+ parents, i.e., about the same per cell. Cell hybrids removed the same amount of the alkylation adduct 3-methyladenine as did their parents per mole of guanine, i.e., about twice as much per cell. Although the cell hybrids had intermediate resistance to the cytotoxic action of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine used to induce O6-methylguanine and 3-methyladenine, there is evidence that the ability to remove O6-methylguanine and resistance to the cytotoxic effect of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine are dissociable characteristics.[1]
