Particulate Distribution

1. Only two aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases from Chinese hamster ovary cells are found associated with ribosomes and polyribosomes. 2. Phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase activity is found with the 60S subunit, 80S monoribosome and individual polyribosomes. An additional 15S form of the enzyme is also seen. 3. Lysyl-tRNA synthetase activity is found in a form of about 20S and associated with ribosomal subunits and polyribosomes. The ribosomal subunits having lysyl-tRNA synthetase activity are about 6S larger than the bulk of the ribosomal subunits. 4. The lysyl- and phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetases found in different complexes have differential sensitivity to EDTA and centrifugation properties.

Mutant Cells

Chinese hamster ovary mutants simultaneously resistant to ricin and Pseudomonas toxin have been isolated. Two mutant cell lines (4-10 and 11-2) were found to retain normal levels of binding of both ricin and Pseudomonas toxin. They were defective in the internalization of [125I]ricin into the mutant cells, as measured by both a biochemical assay for ricin internalization and electron microscopic autoradiographic studies. Although pretreatment of Chinese hamster ovary cells with a Na+/K+ ionophore, nigericin, resulted in an enhancement of the cytotoxicities of ricin and Pseudomonas toxin in the wild-type Chinese hamster ovary cells, preculture of the mutant cells did not alter the susceptibility of the mutant cells to either toxin. These results provide further evidence that there is a common step in the internalization process for ricin and Pseudomonas toxin.

A cDNA for threonyl-tRNA synthetase was isolated from a human placental cDNA lambda gt11 expression library by immunological screening, and its identity was confirmed by hybrid-selected mRNA translation. With this cDNA used as a hybridization probe, borrelidin-resistant Chinese hamster ovary cells that overproduced threonyl-tRNA synthetase were shown to have increased levels of threonyl-tRNA synthetase mRNA and gene sequences. Amplification of the gene did not appear to have been accompanied by any major structural reorganizations.

Lines Of Evidence

Temperature-resistant revertants, derived from the temperature-sensitive CHO asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase mutant, Asn-5, were isolated and characterized. Several lines of evidence indicate that the temperature-resistant phenotype of the revertants is due to their overproducing the same altered enzyme present in the Asn-5 parent.
