摘要
Lymphoid V(D)J rearrangement is targeted by recombination signal sequences (RSS) bordering V, D or J exons, We demonstrate that the DNA composition of flanking coding positions, particularly poly(A) or poly(T) stretches at one or both RSS, diminishes V(D)J recombination up to 100-fold, Positionally correct cleavages occur in the inhibited reactions, since the junctions formed show the same frequency of precision as uninhibited reactions, Open/shut cleavage/rejoining is not increased at a normal RSS in substrates containing inhibitory A/T homopolymers versus random sequence at a second RSS, Thus recombinase action at both cleavage sites is severely disrupted by modified coding sequences.
