Data on the evolutionary history of the V(D)J recombination-activating protein 1 - RAG1 coupled with sequence and variant analyses.

ABSTRACT: RAG1 protein is one of the key component of RAG complex regulating the V(D)J recombination. There are only few studies for RAG1 concerning evolutionary history, detailed sequence and mutational hotspots. Herein, we present out datasets used for the recent comprehensive study of RAG1 based on sequence, phylogenetic and genetic variant analyses (Kumar et al., 2015) [1]. Protein sequence alignment helped in characterizing the conserved domains and regions of RAG1. It also aided in unraveling ancestral RAG1 in the sea urchin. Human genetic variant analyses revealed 751 mutational hotspots, located both in the coding and the non-coding regions. For further analysis and discussion, see (Kumar et al., 2015) [1].

Project description:BackgroundAbnormal alternative splicing is frequently associated with carcinogenesis. In B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), double homeobox 4 fused with immunoglobulin heavy chain (DUX4/IGH) can lead to the aberrant production of E-26 transformation-specific family related gene abnormal transcript (ERGalt ) and other splicing variants. However, the molecular mechanism underpinning this process remains elusive. Here, we aimed to know how DUX4/IGH triggers abnormal splicing in leukemia.MethodsThe differential intron retention analysis was conducted to identify novel DUX4/IGH-driven splicing in B-ALL patients. X-ray crystallography, small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and analytical ultracentrifugation were used to investigate how DUX4/IGH recognize double DUX4 responsive element (DRE)-DRE sites. The ERGalt biogenesis and B-cell differentiation assays were performed to characterize the DUX4/IGH crosslinking activity. To check whether recombination-activating gene 1/2 (RAG1/2) was required for DUX4/IGH-driven splicing, the proximity ligation assay, co-immunoprecipitation, mammalian two hybrid characterizations, in vitro RAG1/2 cleavage, and shRNA knock-down assays were performed.ResultsWe reported previously unrecognized intron retention events in C-type lectin domain family 12, member A abnormal transcript (CLEC12Aalt ) and chromosome 6 open reading frame 89 abnormal transcript (C6orf89alt ), where also harbored repetitive DRE-DRE sites. Supportively, X-ray crystallography and SAXS characterization revealed that DUX4 homeobox domain (HD)1-HD2 might dimerize into a dumbbell-shape trans configuration to crosslink two adjacent DRE sites. Impaired DUX4/IGH-mediated crosslinking abolishes ERGalt , CLEC12Aalt , and C6orf89alt biogenesis, resulting in marked alleviation of its inhibitory effect on B-cell differentiation. Furthermore, we also observed a rare RAG1/2-mediated recombination signal sequence-like DNA edition in DUX4/IGH target genes. Supportively, shRNA knock-down of RAG1/2 in leukemic Reh cells consistently impaired the biogenesis of ERGalt , CLEC12Aalt , and C6orf89alt .ConclusionsAll these results suggest that DUX4/IGH-driven DNA crosslinking is required for RAG1/2 recruitment onto the double tandem DRE-DRE sites, catalyzing V(D)J-like recombination and oncogenic splicing in acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
