带有人工测试插入片段 RS 的 Ig kappa 转基因的体细胞超突变频率比三个相关转基因的体细胞超突变频率至少高 4 倍。四种转基因仅在可变区内 96 bp 插入片段的序列上有所不同。 RS 在可变/连接区的总共 625 个核苷酸上是高度可变的。 RS 插入片段包含两个 CAGGTG 序列,这是基本螺旋-环-螺旋蛋白的潜在结合位点。将 CAGGTG 更改为 AAGTGG 会降低非 RS 转基因的突变性,而不会改变突变模式。 CAGGTG 基序增强体细胞超突变而不增强转录。包含两个 CAGGTG 位点(但不包含 AAGTGG)的 DNA 探针与 E47 结合,并利用突变细胞的核提取物产生两个特定的 EMSA 带。讨论了这种体细胞超突变增强子的可能作用。
The frequency of somatic hypermutations of an Ig kappa transgene with an artificial test insert, RS, is at least 4-fold higher than that of three related transgenes. The four transgenes differ only in the sequence of a 96 bp insert within the variable region. RS is hypermutable over the total 625 nucleotides of the variable/joining region. The RS insert contains two CAGGTG sequences, potential binding sites for basic helix-loop-helix proteins. Changing CAGGTG to AAGGTG reduces the mutability to that of the non-RS transgenes without altering the mutation pattern. The CAGGTG motif enhances somatic hypermutation without enhancing transcription. A DNA probe containing the two CAGGTG sites, but not AAGGTG, binds E47 and gives rise to two specific EMSA bands with nuclear extracts from mutating cells. Possible actions of this enhancer of somatic hypermutation are discussed.
