Regulated the AEJ -mediated V(D)J recombination by 53BP1 and ATM
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The critical role of the alternative end joining (AEJ) repair mechanism in V(D)J recombination for B and T lymphocyte development, particularly in the absence of the key non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) component Ku70, is not well understood. AEJ involves functionally redundant factors such as Parp1 vs Polθ and Lig3 vs Lig1, making it unclear which factors are responsible for repairing V(D)J recombination. Additionally, the regulatory mechanism of AEJ remains enigmatic. In this study, we utilized the murine Igκ antigen locus as a model and employed gene editing and HTGTS-Seq pipelines to systematically evaluate potential factors involved in V(D)J recombination. We assessed various aspects of recombination, including efficiency, V gene usage, end resection, joining fidelity, repair patterns, and inter-chromosome translocation. Our findings highlight the Parp1-XRCC1-Lig3 axis as a key mediator of V(D)J recombination, regulated by 53BP1 and ATM. This study advances our understanding of AEJ in DNA damage repair and contributes to our knowledge of lymphocyte development in immunology.
