Isolation of an excision product of T-cell receptor alpha-chain gene rearrangements.

Abstract:

:The genes for the T-cell receptor, like the immunoglobulin genes, are rearranged as DNA. The mechanism of this rearrangement is not clear; unequal crossover between chromosomes and the looping-out and excision of the excess DNA have both been suggested. We isolated small polydisperse circular (spc) DNAs from mouse thymocytes and cloned them into a phage vector. Of the 56 clones we analysed, nine contained sequences homologous to T-cell receptor alpha-chain joining (J alpha) segments. We have characterized one of these clones; it contains one J alpha segment, and the product out of the recombination of a variable region of the alpha-chain gene (V alpha) with a J alpha gene segment. This is the first demonstration of the presence in extrachromosomal DNA of a reciprocal recombination product of any rearranging immunoglobulin or T-cell receptor gene. The finding verifies that V alpha-J alpha joining can occur by the looping-out and excision of chromosomal DNA.
