Abstract
The immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) 3' regulatory region modulates IgH locus transcription, upon induction by specific trans-acting factors, and plays a significant role in class switch DNA recombination (CSR) and, perhaps, somatic hypermutation (SHM). CSR and SHM are central to the maturation of the antibody response. In contrast to the single 5'-hs3a-hs1,2-hs3b-hs4-3 ' mouse IgH 3 ' regulatory region, the human IgH 3 ' regulatory region exists as a 5'-hs3-hs1,2-hs4-3' cluster duplicated 3 ' of Calpha1 and Calpha2. We show here that the human hs1,2 element is the strongest enhancer of transcription, as directed by a V(H)1 or the ECS-Igamma3 promoter, thereby suggesting a dominant role for hs1,2 over hs3 and hs4 in the overall activity of the 3 ' regulatory region. Within hs1,2, we identified three regions (1, 2, and 3) that are all necessary, but individually not sufficient, for enhancement of transcription. In region 2, a HoxC4 site and a HoxC4/embedded octamer (HoxC4/Oct) site are conserved across human, mouse, rat, and rabbit. These two sites recruit HoxC4 and Oct-1/Oct-2, which act synergistically with the Oca-B coactivator to effect the full hs1,2-enhancing activity. HoxC4, Oct-1/Oct-2, and Oca-B recruitment is negligibl...Continue Reading
