Sequences affecting the V(D)J recombinational activity of the IgH intronic enhancer in a transgenic substrate.

Abstract:

:The immunoglobulin heavy chain intronic transcriptional enhancer (E mu) is part of a complex cis-regulatory DNA region which has notably been shown to modulate V(D)J rearrangements of associated variable gene segments. We have used recombination substrates comprised of the E mu enhancer together with various lengths of additional downstream mu sequences to assess the individual contribution of those sequences to the V(D)J recombinational regulatory activity. Surprisingly, in the absence of large amounts of mu sequences, substrate rearrangements were not detected in Southern blot analyses of the lymphoid tissues from independent transgenic mice, but were readily detectable following transfection into cultured pre-B cells. A short mu segment which includes matrix association regions (MARs) was not sufficient to restore high levels of rearrangements within the reporter transgenes. However, additional experiments demonstrated that the mu sequences are dispensable for V(D)J recombination in transgenic thymuses, implying a suppressive effect exerted by the vector sequences left in the transgenic insert, when they are attached near the E mu regulatory region. This suppression of V(D)J recombination, which correlates with an hypermethylation of the transgenes, is discussed in view of previously reported transgenic and gene targeting experiments.
