Loop Extrusion Mediates Physiological Locus Contraction for V(D)J Recombination (LAM-HTGTS)


ABSTRACT: Immunoglobulin heavy chain locus (Igh) VH, D, and JH gene segments are developmentally assembled into V(D)J exons. RAG endonuclease initiates V(D)J recombination by binding a JH-recombination signal sequence (RSS) within a chromatin-based recombination center (RC) and then, in an orientation-dependent process, scans upstream D-containing chromatin presented by cohesin-mediated loop extrusion for convergent D-RSSs to initiate DJH-RC formation. In primary pro-B cells, 100s of upstream VH-associated RSSs, embedded in convergent orientation to the DJH-RC-RSS, gain proximity to the DJH-RC for VH-to-DJH joining via a mechanistically-undefined VH-locus contraction process. Here, we report that a 2.4 mega-base VH locus inversion in primary pro-B cells nearly abrogates rearrangements of normally convergent VH-RSSs and cryptic RSSs, even though locus contraction per se is maintained. Moreover, this inversion activated rearrangement of both cryptic VH-locus RSSs normally in the opposite orientation and, unexpectedly, of normally-oriented cryptic RSSs within multiple, sequential upstream convergent-CBE domains. Primary pro-B cells had significantly reduced transcription of Wapl, a cohesin-unloading factor, versus levels in v-Abl pro-B lines that lack marked locus contraction or distal VH rearrangements. Correspondingly, Wapl depletion in v-Abl lines activated VH-locus contraction and orientation-specific RAG-scanning across the VH-locus. Our findings indicate that locus contraction and physiological VH-to-DJH joining both are regulated via circumvention of CBE scanning impediments.
