The Ig heavy chain protein but not its message controls early B cell development
Development of progenitor B cells (ProB cells) into precursor B cells (PreB cells) is dictated by immunoglobulin heavy chain checkpoint (IgHCC), where the IgHC encoded by a productively rearranged allele assembles into a PreB cell receptor complex (PreBCR) to generate signals to initiate this transi...

| Shrnutí: | Development of progenitor B cells (ProB cells) into precursor B cells (PreB cells) is dictated by immunoglobulin heavy chain checkpoint (IgHCC), where the IgHC encoded by a productively rearranged
allele assembles into a PreB cell receptor complex (PreBCR) to generate signals to initiate this transition and suppressing antigen receptor gene recombination, ensuring that only one productive
allele is expressed, a phenomenon known as
allelic exclusion. In contrast to a productively rearranged
allele, the
messenger RNA (mRNA) (
) from a nonproductively rearranged
allele is degraded by nonsense-mediated decay (NMD). This fact prohibited firm conclusions regarding the contribution of stable
to the molecular and developmental changes associated with the IgHCC. This point was addressed by generating the
mouse model from
mice having a premature termination codon at position +5 in leader exon of
allele. This prohibited NMD, and the lack of a transmembrane region (∆TM) prevented the formation of any signaling-competent PreBCR complexes that may arise as a result of read-through translation across premature Ter5 stop codon. A highly sensitive sandwich Western blot revealed read-through translation of
message, indicating that previous conclusions regarding a role of
in establishing allelic exclusion requires further exploration. As determined by RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq), this low amount of IgHC sufficed to initiate PreB cell markers normally associated with PreBCR signaling. In contrast, the
knock-in allele, which generated stable
but no detectable IgHC, failed to induce PreB development. Our data indicate that the IgHCC is controlled at the level of IgHC and not
expression. |
