Abstract excerpt
High levels of L-lysine were used to select for resistant variants of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-K1) cells. Surviving colonies were screened for altered lysine transport and two with reduced uptake were picked. Clone CH-Kr, derived from the more severely affected colony, was analyzed in detail. In starved cells the Vmax of lysine uptake in CH-Kr was half that of CHO while Km was unaltered. The intracellular pool...
