摘要

VDJ recombination is the mechanism by which antigen receptor genes are assembled. The site-specific cleavage mediated by recombination activating gene (RAG1 and RAG2) proteins generates two types of broken DNA ends: blunt signal ends and hairpin coding ends. The standard joining of these ends to form signal joints and coding joints employs several proteins involved in double strand break (DSB) repair, including KU70/80, the catalytic subunit of DNA- dependent protein kinase (DNA-PKcs), XRCC4 and ligase IV. The cells from severe combined immunodeficient (scid) mice are defective in resolving recombination coding ends due to a point mutation in the DNA-PKcs gene. To study the effect of the scid defect on coding end resolution, we have established recombination-inducible cell lines from scid mice. These cells, at the nonpermissive temperature, actively initiate recombination at the endogenous light chain loci and produce large amounts of hairpin coding ends. After returning to the permissive temperature, scid cells are capable of resolving these coding ends. However, unlike the coding end resolution in normal cells, which is a rapid and regulated process, the resolution of hairpin coding ends in scid cells is slow and error prone. The resulting coding joints contain extensive nucleotide deletions. In addition, the interlocus recombination products are found at much higher frequency in scid cells than in their normal cell counterparts. Our results suggest that functional DNA-PKcs may play an important role in facilitating effective V(D)J recombination and minimizing chromosomal instability.
