Abstract

A temperature‐sensitive growth mutant derived from the BHK 21 cell Line, ts AF8, was found to have greatly reduced DNA synthesis at the nonpermissive temperature. This reduction is mainly due to a decrease in the frequency of cells synthesizing DNA. Upon shift up, ts AF8 becomes blocked in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. The cells acquire elevated cAMP levels and a unimodal distribution of DNA content, equivalent to that of G1 cells at the permissive temperature, Ts AF8 cells blocked at the G1/S boundary with hydroxyurea will enter S when shifted to the nonpermissive temperature. On the other hand, ts AF8 cells arrested m G1 by serum deprivation and shifted to the nonpermissive temperature at the moment of serum addition do not enter S, while those synchronized by isoleucine deprivation and shifted at the time of isoleucine addition will enter S. These data suggest that the cycle arrest point of the ts AF8 mutation is located in G1 between the blocks induced by serum starvation and isoleucine deprivation.

The reduction in DNA synthesis caused by the ts AF8 mutation is not reversed by infection or transformation with Polyoma virus. Mitochondrial DNA continues to be synthesized at wild‐type levels at the nonpermissive temperature.

## Abstract tsAF8 cells are a temperature‐sensitive mutant of BHK cells that arrest at the nonpermissive temperature in the G~1~ phase of the cell cycle. The activity of solubilized RNA polymerase II and its ability to bind [^3^H]‐γ‐amanitin decrease in tsAF8 cells at 40.6°, with a half‐life of ∼ 1
