Acetyltransferases GCN5 and PCAF Are Required for B Lymphocyte Maturation in Mice
B lymphocyte development has two DNA recombination processes: V(D)J recombination of the immunoglobulin (Igh) gene variable region, and class switching of the Igh constant regions from IgM to IgG, IgA, or IgE. V(D)J recombination is required for the successful maturation of B cells from pro-B to pre...

description | B lymphocyte development has two DNA recombination processes: V(D)J recombination of the immunoglobulin (Igh) gene variable region, and class switching of the Igh constant regions from IgM to IgG, IgA, or IgE. V(D)J recombination is required for the successful maturation of B cells from pro-B to pre-B to immature-B and then to mature B cells in the bone marrow. CSR occurs outside of the bone marrow when mature B cells migrate to peripheral lymphoid organs, such as spleen and lymph nodes. Both V(D)J recombination and CSR depend on an open chromatin state that makes DNA accessible to specific enzymes, recombination activating gene (RAG), and activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID). Acetyltransferases GCN5 and PCAF possess redundant functions acetylating histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9). Here, we generated a mouse model that lacked both GCN5 and PCAF in B cells. Double-deficient mice possessed low levels of mature B cells in the bone marrow and peripheral organs, an accumulation of pro-B cells in bone marrow, and reduced CSR levels. We concluded that both GCN5 and PCAF are required for B-cell development in vivo. |
