Evaluation of the role of the 3'alpha heavy chain enhancer [3'alpha E(hs1,2)] in Vh gene somatic hypermutation.

Abstract:

:Previous work on the cis-acting elements that control heavy chain variable region (VH) gene somatic hypermutation has indicated the presence of an as yet unidentified element(s) 3' of the intron enhancer that is necessary for high rate mutation. Examination of cis-acting elements involved in kappa light chain V gene hypermutation has demonstrated a requirement for both the intronic and 3' kappa enhancers in this process. To examine whether the 3'alpha heavy chain enhancer [3'alpha E(hs1,2)] is required for somatic hypermutation of VH genes, we generated two types of transgenic mice. One type was generated using a construct containing a VH promoter, a rearranged VDJ, the heavy chain intronic enhancer, and the murine heavy chain 3'alpha E(hs1,2). The transgenes in the second lines were similar to the transgenes in the first with the addition of a second complete matrix attachment region (MAR) 3' of the heavy chain intronic enhancer, and splice acceptor and polyadenylation sites between the two enhancers. Analysis of both transgenes revealed levels of mutation at least 10-fold lower than endogenous VH genes. These data suggest that the 3'alpha E(hs1,2) does not play a role analogous to the 3' kappa enhancer in the regulation of the hypermutation process. Moreover, in one of the transgenes, the presence of the 3'alpha E(hs1,2) resulted in a lack of transcription in vivo, suggesting a negative regulatory role for this enhancer in certain contexts.
