We have characterized a class of DNA rearrangements in plasmacytomas. These recombination events involve a DNA sequence whose origin is outside of the locus of the heavy chain constant region genes, CH. Therefore, we choose to refer to this sequence as non-immunoglobulin-associated rearranging DNA (NIARD). We have isolated two abortively rearranged C alpha genes, generated by NIARD events from the alpha-producing J558 myeloma. Restriction endonuclease maps of these sequences reveal two possible recombination sites in NIARD that are separated by approximately 6.5 kilobase pairs of DNA (defined as 5' and 3' sites). A NIARD rearrangement occurs in 15 out of 20 plasmacytomas tested, including gamma 3-, gamma 1-, gamma 2b-, gamma 2a-, and alpha-producers, but this event usually does not involve a CH switch (S) region. In fact, only S alpha appears to accept NIARD. However, NIARD did not undergo a rearrangement in eight IgA-producing hybridomas tested. One germ-line copy of NIARD (a 22-kilobase pair EcoRI fragment) is retained in all plasmacytomas. NIARD does not appear to possess repetitive DNA sequences homologous to S mu or S alpha. We discuss the possible role and implications of NIARD-like sequence rearrangements in allelic exclusion and chromosomal translocation events in plasmacytomas.
