Sequential Enhancer Sequestration Dysregulates Recombination Center Formation at the IgH Locus.


ABSTRACT: Immunoglobulin heavy-chain (IgH) genes are assembled by DNA rearrangements that juxtapose a variable (VH), a diversity (DH), and a joining (JH) gene segment. Here, we report that in the absence of intergenic control region 1 (IGCR1), the intronic enhancer (E?) associates with the next available CTCF binding site located close to VH81X via putative heterotypic interactions involving YY1 and CTCF. The alternate E?/VH81X loop leads to formation of a distorted recombination center and altered DH rearrangements and disrupts chromosome conformation that favors distal VH recombination. Cumulatively, these features drive highly skewed, E?-dependent recombination of VH81X. Sequential deletion of CTCF binding regions on IGCR1-deleted alleles suggests that they influence recombination of single proximal VH gene segments. Our observations demonstrate that E? interacts differently with IGCR1- or VH-associated CTCF binding sites and thereby identify distinct roles for insulator-like elements in directing enhancer activity.

Immunoglobulin heavy-chain (IgH) genes are assembled by DNA rearrangements that juxtapose a variable (V<sub>H</sub>), a diversity (D<sub>H</sub>), and a joining (J<sub>H</sub>) gene segment. Here, we report that in the absence of intergenic control region 1 (IGCR1), the intronic enhancer (Eμ) associates with the next available CTCF binding site located close to V<sub>H</sub>81X via putative heterotypic interactions involving YY1 and CTCF. The alternate Eμ/V<sub>H</sub>81X loop leads to formation  ...[more]
