Diphtheria toxin resistance in chinese hamster cells: Genetic and biochemical characteristics of the mutants affected in protein synthesis

Abstract

Diphtheria toxin (DT) resistant mutants (Dipr) have been isolated from a number of different Chinese hamster lines. Among mutants affected in protein synthesis (DiprII class), two distinct phenotypes have been identified. In one class, the entire elongation factor-2 (EF-2) activity becomes resistant to DT-catalyzed ADP-ribosylation (DiprIIa class); these mutants behave recessively upon hybridization with sensitive cells. The second kind of …
