SUMMARY

A precise physical map, containing the structurally and operationally defined D-loop origin, terminal region, and direction of heavy-strand replication, has been constructed for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from ovary (CHO-KI) and lung cells of Chinese hamster (Cricetulus griseus, 2 N = 22), and compared with our previously established 2 N = 44). All four HpaI

In addition, a high degree of sequence stability has been observed in mtDNAs from different tissues and cell lines of mouse, Mus muscul~.~ (King et al., 198 l), and Syrian hamster, Mesocricetus auratus (Nass, 1981). The mechanism responsible for sequence homogeneity and variance within mtDNA molecule populations is unknown. Our preliminary data indicate that Chinese hamster (Crjcetulus griseus) mtDNA differs extensively from Syrian hamster mtDNA with respect

METHODS

Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO-KI, prolinerequiring) and diploid lung cells (Don) (both from American Type Culture Collection) were grown in roller bottles in Ham’s F-12 medium with 10%’ fetal bovine serum. Baby hamster kidney cells (BHK,,/C,? and C,,/B,) from Syrian hamster were grown as described (Nass, 1980a; 1981).

The procedures for isolation of mitochondria. isolation of mtDNA in CsCl-propidium diiodide gradients, in vivo and in vitro radioactive labeling, isolation and hybridization of single-stranded Dloop sequences, electron microscopic localization of D-loops, and agarose gel electrophoresis of mtDNA were as described previously (Nass, 1980a, b; 1981 and in table and figure legends).

Fig. 1 summarizes representative restriction fragment patterns of Chinese versus Syrian (Nass. 1980a) hamster mtDNA. The fragments have been ordered using standard double-enzyme digestion methods, coupled with alignment at both the single KpnI cleavage site and the D-loop origin of replication. The final map coordinates are given in Table I and Fig. 2A, C. [The key strategy for fragment order of Cricetulus mtDNA was (a) redigestion of fragment EcoRI-B with HpaI to yield three products (3.6, 0.45, 0.25 kb) inclusive HpaIB; (b) cleavage of fragment EcoRI-C with Hind111 to yield three fragments (1.2, 1.1, 0.5 kb) inclusive

Both conserved and variable cleavage sites occur in all quadrants of the two hamster mtDNA genomes (Fig. 2B, C). Six closely clustered variant sites are located between map positions 40 and 50 [in human, cow and mouse mtDNA the analogous region is in or near the gene for ATPase subunit 6 (Anderson et al., 1981; 1982; Bibb et al.. 1981)]. Three variant sites occur between positions 80 and 100; this region contains the two rRNA cistrons in a number of mammalian mtDNAs, and their conserved and divergent features may differ in closely

son et al., 1981; 1982; Bibb et al., 1981; Ferris et al.. 198 la, b; Brown and Simpson, 198 1). Several restriction site changes found outside rRNA genes represent single-base substitutions (cf. refs. in Brown and Simpson, 1981; Nass, 198 1); the majority of point-mutational changes analyzed in protein-coding sequences of mtDNA in closely related species are transitions and silent substitutions (Brown et al., 1982; Brown and Simpson, 1982). It is remarkable that a conserved tipuI site, which occurs in both hamster species at map position 66 to 67 in the region of the light strand origin of replication (Nass, 1980a, b; Fig. 2), is also found in the same map region in mouse (Martens and Clayton, 1979; Bibb et al., 198 1; Parker and Watson, 1977) bovine (Laipis et al., 1979; Anderson et al., 1982), several ape (Ferris et

This genome region (65 to 67) has shown extensive homology with origin-related sequences of SV40 and (pX 174 DNA (Martens and Clayton, 1979). From the mapped recognition sites for HpaI, EcoRI, HindIII, PsfI, BumHI, and KpnI on Chinese and Syrian hamster mtDNA, an estimate of 5-9s sequence divergence (p = 0.069 + 0.019) was obtained. It should be noted that the relatively high number of conserved EfpaI sites biases towards lower p. The mapped site method employed here is considered more accurate than the fragment size method; the former also can detect small genome rearrangements, if present (cf., Upholt, 1977; Brown and Simpson, 198 1; Ferris et al.,
