pubmed:abstractText
The cell line E2 is a SV40-transformed human fibroblast cell line containing a single integrated copy of the bacterial guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (gpt) gene. Treatment of E2 with ultraviolet light (UV) or ethyl methanesulphonate (EMS) induced the formation of Gpt- derivatives. Several induced derivatives have been isolated, and the structure, expression and revertibility of the gpt gene have been analysed. In the majority of cases the Gpt- phenotype resulted from switching off the gpt gene, in most instances by methylation, but in a few cases by phenotypic switching. Thus mutagenic treatment can result in the inactivation of gene expression in human cells. In a small proportion of Gpt- derivatives the gpt sequences were deleted.
