One clone which exhibited \u003c or = 25% of that observed for wild-type cells, mutant M2711, was further characterized. The defect in mutant M2711 was specific for NBD-PS, and cellular ATP was unchanged, suggesting that the defect in APT activity was not due to a decrease in cellular ATP levels. Mutant M2711 exhibited a growth pattern indistinguishable from that of wild-type SV-T2 cells, and SV-40 large T antigen, which is needed for efficient episomal replication of plasmids containing the SV40 origin of replication, was unchanged. Finally, transfection of M2711 with cDNAs for marker membrane proteins consistently resulted in the same high level of protein expression as that observed for identically-transfected wild-type SV-T2. Thus, flow cytometry can be used for rapid identification of mutants with defects in phospholipid transport that are suitable for functional reconstitution by transfection with candidate APT cDNAs."}
