Clonally stable Vκ allelic choice instructs Igκ repertoire

ABSTRACT: Although much research has been done to understand how rearrangement of the Igκ locus is regulated during B-cell development, very little is known about the way the variable (V) segments themselves are selected. Using B6/Cast hybrid pre-B cell clones, we show that a limited number of V segments on each allele is stochastically activated as characterized by the appearance of ncRNA and histone modifications. The activation states are clonally distinct, stable across cell division and developmentally important in directing the Ig repertoire upon differentiation. By employing a new approach of allelic ATAC-seq we demonstrate that the Igκ V alleles have differential chromatin accessibility, which may serve as the underlying basis of clonal maintenance at this locus, as well as other instances of monoallelic expression throughout the genome. These findings highlight a new level of immune-system regulation that appears to be geared at optimizing gene diversity.

Clonally stable Vκ allelic choice instructs Igκ repertoire.

Project description:Although much has been done to understand how rearrangement of the Igκ locus is regulated during B-cell development, little is known about the way the variable (V) segments themselves are selected. Here we show, using B6/Cast hybrid pre-B-cell clones, that a limited number of V segments on each allele is stochastically activated as characterized by the appearance of non-coding RNA and histone modifications. The activation states are clonally distinct, stable across cell division and developmentally important in directing the Ig repertoire upon differentiation. Using a new approach of allelic ATAC-seq, we demonstrate that the Igκ V alleles have differential chromatin accessibility, which may serve as the underlying basis of clonal maintenance at this locus, as well as other instances of monoallelic expression throughout the genome. These findings highlight a new level of immune system regulation that optimizes gene diversity.

Enhancer-instructed chromatin folding and compartmentalization dictate Vκ repertoire rearrangement to combat bacterial infection [Hi-C]

Project description:Antigen receptor loci are organized into variable (V), diversity (D), and joining (J) elements that rearrange to generate diverse antigen receptor repertoires. Here, we identified an enhancer (E34) in the immunoglobulin kappa locus (Igκ) that instructed rearrangement of Vκ genes located in a sub-topologically associating domain (subTAD), including a Vκ gene encoding for antibodies targeting bacterial phosphorylcholine. E34 promoted the deposition of active histone marks across the E34 subTAD to instruct its nuclear repositioning from a V(D)J recombination-repressive compartment to a permissive one. E34-induced nuclear repositioning of the E34 subTAD promoted Vκ-Jκ interactions assisted by enhancer-associated epigenetic marks and de novo CTCF binding. Finally, we found that E34-instructed Vκ-Jκ rearrangement was essential to combat Streptococcus pneumoniae but not methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or influenza infections. These data show how enhancer-instructed chromatin topology mechanically pulls specific Vκ and Jκ genes into close physical proximity to generate distinct antibody repertoires to combat bacterial infection.

The In Vivo Pattern of Binding of RAG1 and RAG2 to Antigen Receptor Loci

Project description:The critical initial step in V(D)J recombination, binding of RAG1 and RAG2 to recombination signal sequences flanking antigen receptor V, D, and J gene segments, has not previously been characterized in vivo. Here we demonstrate that RAG protein binding occurs in a highly focal manner to a small region of active chromatin encompassing Igκ and Tcrα J gene segments and Igh and Tcrβ J and J-proximal D gene segments. Formation of these small RAG-bound regions, which we refer to as recombination centers, occurs in a developmental stage- and lineage-specific manner. Each RAG protein is independently capable of specific binding within recombination centers. While RAG1 binding is restricted to regions containing recombination signal sequences, RAG2 binds extremely broadly in a pattern that mirrors that of trimethylated lysine 4 of histone 3. We propose that recombination centers coordinate V(D)J recombination by providing discrete sites within which gene segments are captured for recombination.

Transcription factories in Ig? allelic choice and diversity.

Project description:The vertebrate immune system is tasked with the challenge of responding to any pathogen the organism might encounter, and retaining memory of that pathogen in case of future infection. Recognition and memory of pathogens are encoded within the adaptive immune system and production of T and B lymphocytes with diverse antigen receptor repertoires. In B lymphocytes, diversity is generated by sequential recombination between Variable (V), Diversity (D) and Joining (J) gene segments in the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene (Igh) and subsequent V-J recombination in immunoglobulin light chain genes (Ig? followed by Ig?). However, the process by which particular V, D and J segments are selected during recombination, and stochasticity is maintained to ensure antibody repertoire diversity, is still unclear. In this review, we focus on Ig? and recent findings regarding the relationships between gene structure, the generation of diversity and allelic choice. Surprisingly, the nuclear environment in which each Ig? allele resides, including transcription factories assembled on the nuclear matrix, plays critical roles in both gene regulation and in shaping the diversity of V? genes accessible to recombination. These findings provide a new paradigm for understanding Ig? recombination and V? diversity in the context of B lymphopoiesis.

Asymmetrical forward and reverse developmental trajectories determine molecular programs of B cell antigen receptor editing

Project description:During B lymphopoiesis, B cell progenitors progress through alternating and mutually exclusive stages of clonal expansion and immunoglobulin (Ig) gene rearrangements. Great diversity is generated through the stochastic recombination of Ig gene segments encoding heavy and light chain variable domains. However, this commonly generates autoreactivity. Receptor editing is the predominant tolerance mechanism for self-reactive B cells in the bone marrow (BM). B cell receptor editing rescues autoreactive B cells from negative selection through renewed light chain recombination first at Igκ then Igλ loci. Receptor editing depends upon BM microenvironment cues and key transcription factors such as Nuclear factor kappa B, Forkhead box protein O and Transcription Factor 3. The specific BM factor required for receptor editing is unknown. Furthermore, how transcription factors coordinate these developmental programs to promote usage of the λ-chain remain poorly defined. Therefore, we utilized two mouse models that recapitulate pathways by which Igλ light chain positive B cells develop. The first possess deleted J kappa (Jκ) genes and, as such, models Igκ expression resulting from failed Igκ recombination (Igκdel). The second models autoreactivity by ubiquitous expression of a single-chain chimeric anti-Igκ antibody (κ-mac). Here, we demonstrated that autoreactive B cells transit asymmetric forward and reverse developmental trajectories. This imparted a unique epigenetic landscape on small pre-B cells, which opened chromatin to transcription factors essential for Igλ recombination. The consequences of this asymmetric developmental path were both amplified and complemented by CXCR4 signaling. These findings reveal how intrinsic molecular programs integrate with extrinsic signals to drive receptor editing.

A distinct motif for numerous CTCF binding sites in the murine IgH locus

Project description:Our studies have revealed that a large class of CTCF binding sites – namely the upstream sites – conform neither to a conformational nor a local recombinase activating role. Their conserved spatial distances upstream of V gene segments suggests a possible role in insulating V gene segments from neighboring V gene segments. In any case, understanding the sequence determinants of CTCF binding to the murine IgH locus should facilitate future studies evaluating how IgH locus accessibility regulates CTCF binding as well as the functions that CTCF plays in regulating the recombinational accessibility of VH gene segments during B cell development.
