YY1 control of mitochondrial-related genes does not account for regulation of immunoglobulin class switch recombination in mice.

ABSTRACT: Immunoglobulin class switch recombination (CSR) occurs in activated B cells with increased mitochondrial mass and membrane potential. Transcription factor Yin Yang 1 (YY1) is critical for CSR and for formation of the DNA loops involved in this process. We therefore sought to determine if YY1 knockout impacts mitochondrial gene expression and mitochondrial function in murine splenic B cells, providing a potential mechanism for regulating CSR. We identified numerous genes in splenic B cells differentially regulated when cells are induced to undergo CSR. YY1 conditional knockout caused differential expression of 1129 genes, with 59 being mitochondrial-related genes. ChIP-seq analyses showed YY1 was directly bound to nearly half of these mitochondrial-related genes. Surprisingly, at the time when YY1 knockout dramatically reduces DNA loop formation and CSR, mitochondrial mass and membrane potential were not significantly impacted, nor was there a significant change in mitochondrial oxygen consumption, extracellular acidification rate, or mitochondrial complex I or IV activities. Our results indicate that YY1 regulates numerous mitochondrial-related genes in splenic B cells, but this does not account for the impact of YY1 on CSR or long-distance DNA loop formation.

YY1 controls immunoglobulin class switch recombination and nuclear activation-induced deaminase levels.

Project description:Activation-induced deaminase (AID) is an enzyme required for class switch recombination (CSR) and somatic hypermutation (SHM), processes that ensure antibody maturation and expression of different immunoglobulin isotypes. AID function is tightly regulated by tissue- and stage-specific expression, nuclear localization, and protein stability. Transcription factor YY1 is crucial for early B cell development, but its function at late B cell stages is unknown. Here, we show that YY1 conditional knockout in activated splenic B cells interferes with CSR. Knockout of YY1 did not affect B cell proliferation, transcription of the AID and IgM genes, or levels of various switch region germ line transcripts. However, we show that YY1 physically interacts with AID and controls the accumulation of nuclear AID, at least in part, by increasing nuclear AID stability. We show for the first time that YY1 plays a novel role in CSR and controls nuclear AID protein levels.

Immunoglobulin class-switch recombination deficiencies.

Project description:Immunoglobulin class-switch recombination deficiencies (Ig-CSR-Ds) are rare primary immunodeficiencies characterized by defective switched isotype (IgG/IgA/IgE) production. Depending on the molecular defect in question, the Ig-CSR-D may be combined with an impairment in somatic hypermutation (SHM). Some of the mechanisms underlying Ig-CSR and SHM have been described by studying natural mutants in humans. This approach has revealed that T cell-B cell interaction (resulting in CD40-mediated signaling), intrinsic B-cell mechanisms (activation-induced cytidine deaminase-induced DNA damage), and complex DNA repair machineries (including uracil-N-glycosylase and mismatch repair pathways) are all involved in class-switch recombination and SHM. However, several of the mechanisms required for full antibody maturation have yet to be defined. Elucidation of the molecular defects underlying the diverse set of Ig-CSR-Ds is essential for understanding Ig diversification and has prompted better definition of the clinical spectrum of diseases and the development of increasingly accurate diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

YY1 Controls Em-3â??RR DNA Loop Formation and Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Class Switch Recombination.

Project description:Activation of splenic B cells induces formation of a 220kb DNA loop between Em and 3â??RR enhancers in the immunoglobulin heavy chain locus (IgH). This DNA loop has been proposed to be necessary for the crucial immune diversification mechanism of IgH class switch recombination, but the factors that control its formation are unknown. We show that conditional deletion of transcription factor YY1 in primary splenic B cells results in a dramatic drop in formation of this DNA loop, as well as immunoglobulin class switch recombination. Reconstitution of YY1-deleted splenic B cells with various YY1 mutants showed that the C-terminal half of YY1 lacking the transactivation domain restored both Em-3â??RR DNA loop formation as well as class switch recombination. RNA transcript analyses of YY1 conditional deleted splenic B cells suggest that YY1 does not regulate genes needed for DNA looping or CSR. Our results argue for a direct physical mechanism of YY1 mediating long-distance DNA loops and provide strong evidence of the importance of this DNA loop for class switching. Our results provide foundational mechanistic insight into a crucial immune function. Follicular B cells were isolated from the spleens of three C57Bl/6 yy1 fl/fl mice. For each spleen, half the cells received mock treatment and half received TATCRE. The 6 samples were then grown in RPMI medium along with LPS, Il4, OPI, and 20% FBS for 72 hours. The 6 groups of cells were lysed and RNA was isolated for library preparation. Expression differences between Mock and TATCRE treated cells were determined to understand the role of yy1 in B cell class switching.

MBD4 Facilitates Immunoglobulin Class Switch Recombination.

Project description:Immunoglobulin heavy chain class switch recombination (CSR) requires targeted formation of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in repetitive switch region elements followed by ligation between distal breaks. The introduction of DSBs is initiated by activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) and requires base excision repair (BER) and mismatch repair (MMR). The BER enzyme methyl-CpG binding domain protein 4 (MBD4) has been linked to the MMR pathway through its interaction with MutL homologue 1 (MLH1). We find that when Mbd4 exons 6 to 8 are deleted in a switching B cell line, DSB formation is severely reduced and CSR frequency is impaired. Impaired CSR can be rescued by ectopic expression of Mbd4 Mbd4 deficiency yields a deficit in DNA end processing similar to that found in MutS homologue 2 (Msh2)- and Mlh1-deficient B cells. We demonstrate that microhomology-rich S-S junctions are enriched in cells in which Mbd4 is deleted. Our studies suggest that Mbd4 is a component of MMR-directed DNA end processing.

Parp3 negatively regulates immunoglobulin class switch recombination.

Project description:To generate highly specific and adapted immune responses, B cells diversify their antibody repertoire through mechanisms involving the generation of programmed DNA damage. Somatic hypermutation (SHM) and class switch recombination (CSR) are initiated by the recruitment of activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) to immunoglobulin loci and by the subsequent generation of DNA lesions, which are differentially processed to mutations during SHM or to double-stranded DNA break intermediates during CSR. The latter activate the DNA damage response and mobilize multiple DNA repair factors, including Parp1 and Parp2, to promote DNA repair and long-range recombination. We examined the contribution of Parp3 in CSR and SHM. We find that deficiency in Parp3 results in enhanced CSR, while SHM remains unaffected. Mechanistically, this is due to increased occupancy of AID at the donor (S?) switch region. We also find evidence of increased levels of DNA damage at switch region junctions and a bias towards alternative end joining in the absence of Parp3. We propose that Parp3 plays a CSR-specific role by controlling AID levels at switch regions during CSR.

Influence of switch region length on immunoglobulin class switch recombination.

Project description:The class and effector functions of antibodies are modulated through the process of Ig heavy chain class switch recombination (CSR). CSR occurs between switch (S) regions that lie upstream of the various Ig heavy chain constant region exons. Molecular analyses of S-region functions have been hampered by their large size and repetitive nature. To test potential relationships between S-region size and efficiency of CSR, we generated normal B lymphocytes in which the 12-kb S region flanking the Cgamma1 exons (Sgamma1) was replaced with synthetic or endogenous S regions of various lengths. Replacement of Sgamma1 with 1- and 2-kb synthetic sequences representing the Sgamma1 core repeats or a 4-kb portion of the core endogenous Sgamma1 region supported CSR frequencies that directly correlated with S-region length. These findings indicate that S-region size is an important factor in determining endogenous CSR efficiency. Moreover, these results also will allow the development of a systematic system to test the function of various S-region motifs by replacing endogenous S regions with synthetic S regions controlled for size effects.
