Complementation of the repair defect in hamster xrs mutants has been achieved by transfer of human chromosome 2 using the method of microcell-mediated chromosome transfer. The xrs mutants belong to ionizing radiation complementation group 5, are highly sensitive to ionizing radiation, and have an impaired ability to rejoin radiation-induced DNA double-strand breaks. Both phenotypes were corrected by chromosome 2, although the correction of radiation sensitivity was only partial. Complementation was achieved in two members of this complementation group, xrs6 and XR-V15B, derived independently from the CHO and V79 cell lines, respectively. The presence of human chromosome 2 in complemented clones was examined cytogenetically and by PCR analysis with primers directed at a human-specific long interspersed repetitive sequence or chromosome 2-specific genes. Complementation was observed in 25/27 hybrids, one of which contained only the q arm of chromosome 2. The two noncomplementing hybrids were missing segments of chromosome 2. The use of a back-selection system enabled the isolation of clones that had lost the human chromosome and these regained radiation sensitivity. Transfer of several other human chromosomes did not result in complementation of the repair defect in XR-V15B. These data show that the gene defective in xrs cells, XRCC5, which is involved in double-strand break rejoining, is located on human chromosome 2q.
