[Genetic transformation of somatic cells. III. An analysis of the status of the plasmid nucleotide sequences in the extrachromosomal DNA of transformant clone cells and the rescue of extrachromosomal molecules of the plasmid DNA].
Extrachromosomal DNAs from TK+ transformant clones of A238 Chinese hamster cells isolated after the treatment with plasmid pST826 containing thymidine kinase gene (TK-gene) of Herpes simplex virus (HSV1) and 1.8 kb insert of human satellite III DNA (HSIII) were studied by hybridization technique. In two TK+-clones (2T301 and 2T16) large quantities of rearranged plasmid DNA molecules were found. Electron microscopy show in clone 2T301 the presence of circular DNAs with average length being 4.64 +/- 0.27 kb. These molecules were rescued by retransformation into E. coli and analysed by restriction mapping and hybridization. All of them contain deletions spanning the entire TK gene of HSV1 and pBR325 sequences situated just downstream from the ORI of replication. The origin of extra-replicating circular DNA in 2T301 clone is discussed.
