The UV-sensitive mutant V-B11, isolated from the V79 Chinese hamster cell line (Zdzienicka and Simons, 1987) was further characterized. V-B11 has a slightly increased cross-sensitivity to 3me4NQO, whereas no increased sensitivity towards 4NQO was observed. A slightly increased sensitivity towards EMS and MMS was also found. The mutant shows a defect in the ability to perform the incision step of nucleotide-excision repair after UV irradiation: 2 h after UV exposure, the accumulation of incision breaks in V-B11, in the presence of HU and araC, was about 30% of that found in wild-type V79 cells. V-B11 was crossed to a panel of 6 UV-sensitive Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, which represents all the previously identified 6 complementation groups of UV-sensitive Chinese hamster mutants. Since in all crosses complementation has been observed, V-B11 appears to be the first mutant of a new, 7th, complementation group.
