最近已鉴定出一类螺旋-环-螺旋 (HLH) 蛋白,包括 E2A(E12 和 E47)、E2-2 和 HEB,它们在体外与免疫球蛋白 (Ig) 增强子中存在的 DNA 序列结合。 E12、E47、E2-2 和 HEB 均存在于 B 细胞中。许多不同 HLH 蛋白的存在引发了一个问题:哪种 HLH 蛋白实际上结合了 B 细胞中的 Ig 增强子元件。使用对 E2A 和 E2-2 具有特异性的单克隆抗体,我们发现 E2-2 和 E2A 多肽都存在于 B 细胞特异性 Ig 增强子结合复合物中。前B细胞中的E2盒结合复合物含有E2-2和E2A HLH亚基,而在成熟B细胞中仅存在E2A基因产物。我们发现前 B 细胞和成熟 B 细胞中 E2-box 结合复合物的差异可能是由 E2A 和 E2-2 的差异表达引起的。
A class of helix-loop-helix (HLH) proteins, including E2A (E12 and E47), E2-2, and HEB, that bind in vitro to DNA sequences present in the immunoglobulin (Ig) enhancers has recently been identified. E12, E47, E2-2, and HEB are each present in B cells. The presence of many different HLH proteins raises the question of which of the HLH proteins actually binds the Ig enhancer elements in B cells. Using monoclonal antibodies specific for both E2A and E2-2, we show that both E2-2 and E2A polypeptides are present in B-cell-specific Ig enhancer-binding complexes. E2-box-binding complexes in pre-B cells contain both E2-2 and E2A HLH subunits, whereas in mature B cells only E2A gene products are present. We show that the difference in E2-box-binding complexes in pre-B and mature B cells may be caused by differential expression of E2A and E2-2.
