Cell-cycle, cell-shape mutant with features of the G0 state

Abstract

A cold-sensitive mutant of CHO cells has features of “reverse transformation” at the non-permissive temperature of 33 °C. Cells accumulate at G1 with altered morphology and remain viable and quiescent for more than 40 d. Such cultures are synchronised by a temperature shift back to the permissive 39 °C.
