Epigenetic Enhancer Marks and Transcription Factor Binding Influence Vk Gene Rearrangement in Pre-B Cells and Pro-B Cells [VDJ-seq]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: There has been no study to date that has examined genomic DNA (gDNA) and RNA Igkappa repertoires directly from the same set of cells. In this study we performed deep sequencing on Igkappa repertoire library preparations from both gDNA and RNA from the same sorted cells. This was done for both pre-B cells, where most Igkappa rearrangement takes places as well as pro-B cells where some B cells undergo early Igkappa rearrangement. In addition, we perfored gDNA repertoire analysis on iEkappa-/- pre-B cells. We find that some Vk genes display skewed DNA or RNA representiation relative to the other. We also find that pro-B cell Igkappa rearrangement is skewed to Jkappa-distal Vkappa genes. Lastly, we find that iEkappa-/- pre-B cells are not capable of rearranging to the most proximal Vkappa family genes.
