Disease relevance of Igh-V7183

 

High impact information on Igh-V7183

  • We have employed a method based on the Cre-loxP recombination system of bacteriophage P1 to generate a mouse strain in which the JH segments and the intron enhancer in the IgH locus are deleted [6].
  • We propose, therefore, that the T cell-negative regulator responsible for IgH gene extinction does not simply prevent IgH enhancer activation but interferes with gene expression more directly, perhaps by disrupting the transcription complex established as a result of tissue-specific enhancer activation [1].
  • This is probably an oversimplification: there are cell lines that transcribe IgH genes despite the deletion of the intron-enhancer [2].
  • Furthermore, unlike the intron-enhancer, the IgH 3' enhancer would become linked to a c-myc that rearranges into an IgH switch region [2].
  • Here we show that a strong B-cell-specific enhancer is indeed located at the 3'-end of the rat IgH locus, 25 kilobases downstream of C alpha [2].
 

Biological context of Igh-V7183

  • We find that AID targets cytosines in both donor and acceptor switch regions (S regions) with the deamination domains initiating approximately 150 nucleotides 3' of the I exon start sites and extending over several kilobases (the IgH intronic enhancer is spared) [7].
  • The ability of the mouse immunoglobulin heavy chain gene (IgH) enhancer to stimulate in vitro transcription from the adenovirus-2 major late promoter (Ad2MLP) has been investigated [8].
  • We report the nucleotide sequence of two cloned rheumatoid factor VH genes, Y19-10 (VH J558) and 129-48 (VH 7183) in which no major differences are observed between VH genes encoding the heavy chain of autoantibodies and antibodies against foreign antigens [9].
  • Unequal VH gene rearrangement frequency within the large VH7183 gene family is not due to recombination signal sequence variation, and mapping of the genes shows a bias of rearrangement based on chromosomal location [10].
  • Southern blot analysis using VH probes indicates that these recombinations may be accompanied by the deletion of germline VH genes belonging to both the VHQ52 and VH7183 families, suggesting that these gene families are interspersed in the NFS/N mouse [11].

Regulatory relationships of Igh-V7183

  • Reconstitution of Pax5 expression in Pax5-/- pro-B cells induced large-scale contraction and distal VH-DJH rearrangements of the IgH locus [23].
  • These results suggest that Id may play a role early in B-lymphoid-cell development to regulate transcription of the IgH locus [24].
  • The IgH 3'-enhancers induced the up-regulation of c-myc expression specifically in B cells of IgH-3'-E-myc mice [25].
  • We present strong evidence that ELF-1 is highly expressed in B-cells and is one of two major factors specifically interacting with the murine IgH enhancer pi site in B-cell nuclear extracts [22].
 

Other interactions of Igh-V7183

  • Pax5 is required for recombination of transcribed, acetylated, 5' IgH V gene segments [26].
  • Using sterile I(mu) transcription as an indicator of IgH enhancer activity, we see a direct correlation between E2A DNA binding activity and I(mu) transcription in stable BxT hybrids [27].
  • By contrast, none of the other IgH enhancer-binding proteins tested (E2-2, Pu.1, Oct-2, OCA-B, TFE3 and USF) were able to activate I(mu) transcription [27].
  • Our studies demonstrate that the IgH 3'-enhancers play an important role in c-myc deregulation and B cell lymphomagenesis in vivo [25].
  • These results support the notion that the control of anti-Sm production in MRL/lpr mice operates through the IgH locus [28].
