摘要
B and T cell receptor gene assembly by V(D)J recombination is tightly regulated during lymphoid development. The mechanisms involved in this regulation are poorly understood, Mere we show that nucleosomal DNA is refractory to V(D)J cleavage. However, the presence of HMG1, a chromatin-associated nonhistone DNA-binding protein, stimulates V(D)J cleavage of nucleosomal templates, This HMG1 stimulation is differentially affected by the rotational or translational positioning of the recombination signal sequence on the histone octamer, with cleavage of the 12 bp spacer RSS showing sensitivity to rotational position and the 23 bp spacer RSS affected by its displacement from the dyad. These results suggest that V(D)J recombination call be modulated by controlling substrate accessibility and cleavage at the level of an individual nucleosome.
