In mixed cultures of HGPRT−(lacking hypoxanthine: guanine phosphoribosyltransferase activity) and wild-type mammalian cells coupled by permeable intercellular junctions, the purine nucleotide pools equilibrate between the two cell types prior to incorporation into nucleic acid. As a consequence, in the presence of exogenous hypoxanthine, the mutant cells stimulate the activity of HGPRT pathway in the wild-type cells and the de novo pathway of purine nucleotide biosynthesis is inhibited in both cell types. That is, the metabolic activity of a mixed culture of coupled cells is a unique characteristic of the mixture, not simply the sum of the activities of the component cells, whereas the activity of a mixed culture of cells which are not coupled by permeable intercellular junctions is simply the sum of the activities of the two cell types.
