Abstract:
:Mutation rates of H2 and non-H2 histocompatibility genes in the mouse are examined over a 25-year period. Detected by skin graft rejections, the mutations were screened in inbred and hybrid mice from a continuously maintained and monitored colony and from a regularly supplied set of mice provided from the National Cancer Institute for monitoring of genetic integrity. Twenty-five H2 mutations were recovered, involving the K, D, L, and Ab loci, as well as over 80 mutations of non-H2 histocompatibility genes. Aside from a single allele at a single locus (H2-Kb), the spontaneous mutation rate of H2 class I genes appears to be equivalent to that found estimated for non-H2 histocompatibility genes, and comparable to rates reported for a variety of mouse genes. This is in contrast with previous suggestions that H2 genes mutate at orders of magnitude greater than do "average" mammalian genes. The discrepancy is attributed to the H2-Kb gene which accounts for over half of all reported H2 mutations and which mutates spontaneously at a rate of 1-2 x 10(-4) per gene per generation. Furthermore, over half of the spontaneous H2-Kb mutations result in a single mutant phenotype (the "bg" group) which involve similar changes at amino acid residues 116 and 121. Thus, the high spontaneous mutation rate for H2-Kb appears to be the exception among major histocompatibility genes, rather than the rule.
