The programming capacity for the synthesis of human dihydrofolic acid reductase in a rabbit reticulocyte lysate has been found to be greatly enhanced in the polysomal poly(A)-containing RNA from a methotrexate-resistant human cell variant (6A3), as compared to the RNA from its parental line (VA2-B). A major fraction of this promoting activity is associated with a 3.8 × 103base RNA species detectable as a band in the ethidium bromide-stained electrophoretic pattern of the RNA from 6A3 cells, but not in the RNA from VA2-B cells. Furthermore, sucrose gradient fractionation experiments have indicated that another substantial portion of the messenger activity is associated with RNA components around 103bases in size. Double-stranded complementary DNA synthesized from total poly(A)-containing RNA of 6A3 cells has been size fractionated, and both large (1400 to 3800 base-pairs) and small size complementary DNA (600 to 1400 base-pairs) species have been used separately to transformEscherichia coliχ2282 with pBR322 as a vector. Of 76 transformants obtained with the large size complementary DNA, identified by a differential colony hybridization assay, none has expressed the dihydrofolic acid reductase coding sequence inE. coli, as judged by resistance to trimethoprim. By contrast, eight trimethoprim-resistant transformants have been obtained using the small size complementary DNA, and their plasmids have been shown to contain the dihydrofolic acid reductase coding sequence by restriction mapping and DNA sequencing; moreover, immunoautoradiographic experiments have revealed the presence in the extracts of two of these transformants of a protein with the electrophoretic mobility and immunoreactivity of human dihydrofolic acid reductase. Restriction mapping and DNA transfer hybridization experiments have further indicated that the inserts of the chimaeric plasmids conferring trimethoprim resistance upon the host and of those lacking this capacity cover together a complementary DNA region of about 3.35 × 103base-pairs, in which the 564 base-pair dihydrofolic acid reductase coding stretch is located near the 5′ end of the sense strand. RNA transfer hybridization experiments using different cloned complementary DNA fragments as probes have shown the presence of three species of dihydrofolic acid reductase-specific messenger RNAs, with sizes of 3.8 × 103, 1.0 × 103and 0.8 × 103bases, differing in the length of the 3′ untranslated region, in the poly(A)-containing RNA from two methotrexate-resistant variants, 6A3 and 10B3, and, in greatly reduced amounts, in the RNA from their respective parents, VA2B and HeLa BU25.
