摘要

Two phenotypic markers of mouse immunoglobulin kappa light chains, the IB-peptide marker and the Ef1a isoelectric focusing marker, are expressed by the C58/J, AKR/J, RF/J, and PL/J strains (called expressor strains) but not by BALB/c and most inbred strains. Expression is linked to the kappa light-chain locus and the Lyt-2/Lyt-3 genes on chromosome 6. Light chains bearing these markers belong to a group of variable region kappa chain (V kappa) regions called V kappa Ser, which has a serine amino terminus and a framework 1 region not observed to date among BALB/c light chains. Southern hybridization of genomic DNA with a V kappa Ser-specific cDNA probe has demonstrated a single strongly hybridizing DNA fragment in all strains of mice tested. Characteristic restriction enzyme polymorphisms define the V kappa Ser alleles of expressor (Igk-VSera) and nonexpressor (Igk-VSerb) strains. In the present study, the unrearranged V kappa Ser gene and its flanking regions from an expressor (C.C58) and nonexpressor (BALB/c) strain have been cloned and their nucleotide sequences determined. The C.C58 V kappa Ser gene isolated (the Igk-VSera allele) was shown to code for the two phenotypic markers described. While the nucleotide sequence of the BALB/c coding region (the Igk-VSerb allele) shows 97% identity with the C.C58 gene, single nucleotide substitutions lead to structural changes in the encoded protein which render it IB-negative and Ef1a-negative. These differences alone can explain the failure of strains containing the BALB/c allele to express these kappa-chain phenotypic markers. Also, the BALB/c gene contains a single substitution in a conserved octamer sequence approximately equal to 100 nucleotides upstream of the coding region, which could affect its expression. Finally, the C.C58 allele contains a BAM5/R repetitive DNA element approximately equal to 1200 nucleotides upstream of the coding regions that is not present in BALB/c. This element gives rise to the EcoRI and BamHI restriction enzyme polymorphisms, which distinguish the Igk-VSera and Igk-VSerb alleles.
