摘要:
Ag receptor allelic exclusion is thought to occur through monoallelic initiation and subsequent feedback inhibition of recombinational accessibility. However, our previous analysis of mice containing a V(D)J recombination reporter inserted into V beta 14 (V beta 14(Rep)) indicated that V beta 14 chromatin accessibility is biallelic. To determine whether V beta 14 recombinational accessibility is subject to feedback inhibition, we analyzed TCR beta rearrangements in V beta 14(Rep) mice containing a preassembled in-frame transgenic V beta 8.2D beta 1J beta 1.1 or an endogenous V beta 14D beta 1J beta 1.4 rearrangement on the homologous chromosome. Expression of either preassembled V beta DJ beta C beta-chain accelerated thymocyte development because of enhanced cellular selection, demonstrating that the rate-limiting step in early alpha beta T cell development is the assembly of an in-frame V beta DJ beta rearrangement. Expression of these preassembled V beta DJ beta rearrangements inhibited endogenous V beta 14-to-DJ beta rearrangements as expected. However, in contrast to results predicted by the accepted model of TCR beta feedback inhibition, we found that expression of these preassembled TCR beta-chains did not down-regulate recombinational accessibility of V beta 14 chromatin. Our findings suggest that TCR beta-mediated feedback inhibition of V beta 14 rearrangements depends on inherent properties of V beta 14, D beta, and J beta recombination signal sequences.
