NIARD (non-immunoglobulin-associated rearranging DNA) is located on mouse chromosome 15 at the break point of a commonly observed translocation event involving chromosomes 15 and 12 in murine plasmacytomas. The human cellular analogue of the v-myconcogene of avian myelocytomatosis virus, strain MC-29, is known to reside on the distal end of human chromosome 8 and has been observed to translocate to chromosome 14 in Burkitt lymphomas. Using a cDNA clone specific for the transcript of the human c-mycgene (H c-myc), we show that the mouse c-myc(M c-myc) gene is contained within NIARD. NIARD-associated chromosome translocations occurred 1.3-2 kilobases (kb) 5′ of the mouse c-mycgene where NIARD recombines with the switch region of the Cαimmunoglobulin gene in various murine plasmacytomas. The mouse c-mycencoding region within NIARD spanned <2.4 kb of DNA and expressed a low level of a 2.3-kb polyadenylylated RNA in BALB/c spleen. Increased (10- to 20-fold) levels of rearranged mouse c-myctranscripts (i.e., ≈1.8-2.1 kb) were observed in plasmacytomas that have NIARD-associated chromosome translocations. Human c-mycand NIARD probes detected DNA rearrangements of human c-mycin four of seven Burkitt lymphomas. DNA sequences adjacent to the human c-mycgene recombined with the Cμimmunoglobulin gene locus on chromosome 14 in several Burkitt lymphomas. The activation of the c-myconcogene by chromosome translocation implicates its involvement in B-cell oncogenesis.
