A protein that binds to the recombination signal sequence (RS) of the immunoglobulin J.vkappa. segment was purified almost to homogeneity from the nuclear extract of a murine pre-B cell line 38B9. A similar binding protein was found in lymphoid cell lines but not in non-lymphoid cell lines. The binding activity was associated with a polypeptide with a molecular weight of 60,000. DNase I footprinting analysis demonstrated that this binding protein interacted with the heptamer and several 3'' base close to the heptamer. The Kd value of the J.vkappa. RS binding protein to the J.vkappa. RS was 1nM. One base substitution in the heptamer of the J.vkappa. RS greatly reduced the affinity of the J.vkappa. RS binding protein. The high specificity of the binding site of the J.vkappa. RS binding protein suggests that this protein may be involved in V-J recombination.
