Molecular characterization of single memory B cells

Primary antigenic exposure results in an initial antibody response and the T cell-dependent induction of B-cell memory. Memory B-cell differentiation is characterized by somatic hypermutation in antibody variable region genes (V) and selection of B cells expressing high-affinity variants of this antigen receptor. Despite our current understanding of B-cell memory, the origin of memory B cells and the regulation of their differentiation remain elusive. This is largely due to the difficulties in observing and purifying this minor component of the immunized spleen. Further, molecular characterization of memory B cells requires hybridoma formation which restricts analyses to only those clones capable of fusion and does not allow isolation of cells in a normal physiological state. We have therefore developed a unique system which allows isolation and unambiguous enumeration of IgG1+ memory B cells, based on six-parameter flow cytometry, secretion of antibody in clonal cultures and analysis of clonally expressed V genes using the polymerase chain reaction. Here we report that single IgG1+ antigen-binding B cells from an early secondary immune response proliferate in lipopolysaccharide-driven microcultures and produce antigen-specific IgG1 antibodies. Individual B-cell clones in these cultures express somatically mutated heavy chain V genes, confirming their designation as memory B cells. Although isolated memory B cells undergo extensive proliferation in vitro, V gene sequence analysis of their individual progeny shows that further hypermutation does not occur.

Stable replication of plasmids derived from Epstein-Barr virus in various mammalian cells

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infects human B lymphocytes, transforming the infected cells into dividing blasts that can proliferate indefinitely. The viral genome of 172 kilobase pairs (kbp) is a plasmid in most transformed cells. We have identified a region of EBV DNA, termed oriP (nucleotides 7,333-9,109 of strain B95-8), which acts in cis to permit linked DNAs to replicate as plasmids in cells containing EBV DNA. We have postulated the existence of a trans-acting gene allowing oriP function. Here we report that this gene lies in a 2.6-kbp region of the viral genome (nucleotides 107, 567-110, 176) which encodes the EBNA-1 antigen. We show that circular DNAs containing oriP, the EBNA-1 gene and a selectable marker replicate autonomously in cells derived from at least four developmental lineages and from at least three species. We also find that the one-third of the EBNA-1 gene repetitive in sequence is not essential for the trans-acting function that EBNA-1 gives oriP.     

刀额新对虾周期蛋白B基因的分子克隆及序列分析

周期蛋白B(cyclin B)是真核生物细胞周期的一种重要调控原件,通过调节周期蛋白依赖性蛋白激酶(cyclindependent kinase,CKD)的活性可以控制细胞周期.运用RACE(rapid-amplification of cDNA ends)技术克隆了刀额新对虾(Metapendeusensis)cyclin B基因.刀额新对虾cyclin B的cDNA全长为1681 bp,5′端非编码区为111 bp,3 ′端非编码区为355 bp,开放阅读框为1215 bp,编码404个氨基酸,平均分子质量为45767.9 u,pl为8.81.Blast比对后发现,其氧摹酸序列与斑节对虾(Penaeus monodon)的同源性达约90％.基于cyclin B序列所绘制的进化树基本上能反映出各物种间的进化关系.半定量RT-PCR结果显示,刀额新对虾的cyclinB基因在不同组织表达中具有明显的组织特异性,在鳃、卵巢和心脏中有较高的表达量,在眼柄神经节和胸神经节中表达量较低.推测该差异性主要与cyclin B在细胞周期中调控细胞分裂的功能有关.     

Modulation of an RNA-binding protein by abscisic-acid-activated protein kinase

Protein kinases are involved in stress signalling in both plant and animal systems. The hormone abscisic acid mediates the responses of plants to stresses such as drought, salinity and cold. Abscisic-acid-activated protein kinase (AAPK -- found in guard cells, which control stomatal pores -- has been shown to regulate plasma membrane ion channels. Here we show that AAPK-interacting protein 1 (AKIP1), with sequence homology to heterogeneous nuclear RNA-binding protein A/B, is a substrate of AAPK. AAPK-dependent phosphorylation is required for the interaction of AKIP1 with messenger RNA that encodes dehydrin, a protein implicated in cell protection under stress conditions. AAPK and AKIP1 are present in the guard-cell nucleus, and in vivo treatment of such cells with abscisic acid enhances the partitioning of AKIP1 into subnuclear foci which are reminiscent of nuclear speckles. These results show that phosphorylation-regulated RNA target discrimination by heterogeneous nuclear RNA-binding proteins may be a general phenomenon in eukaryotes, and implicate a plant hormone in the regulation of protein dynamics during rapid subnuclear reorganization.     

Effect of GbKTN1 from Gossypium barbadense on cell elongation of fission yeast（Schizosaccharomyces pombe）

The GbKTN1 gene was isolated from 10 DPA fiber cells of Gossypium barbadense using 5′RACE/3′RACE.Full-length cDNA of this gene is 2006 bp, including a 113 bp of 5′untranslated region, a 1563 bp of an open reading frame(ORF), and a 327 bp of 3′untranslated region (excluding the stop codon TAA). The ORF of GbKTN1 encodes a 521-amino acid protein with a predicted size of 55 kD. Near C-terminal of the deduced protein there is a putative ATP binding site between amino acid residues from 233 to 414. Southern blot analysis indicated that the GbKTN1 was a single copy gene in G barbadense. Combining semi-quantitative RT-PCR with Southern blot hybridization revealed that GbKTN1 expressed in all the organs detected such as roots, stems, leaves and fibers. However, the mRNA of GbKTN1 was the most abundant in fiber cells, while it was the lowest in leaves. The GbKTN1 cDNA was transformed into S. pombe to verify its function on cell elongation. Results showed that most yeast cells over expressing GbKTN1 gene were elongated dramatically with an average length increase of 2.18 times than that of the non-induced cells. Even the morphology of some yeast cells appeared irregularly. To the best of our knowledge this is the first evidence that KTN1 is correlated with cell elongation in vivo.     

Functional identification of gene cluster for the aniline metabolic pathway mediated by transposable element

A convenient and widely applicable method has been developed to clone aniline metabolic gene cluster in this study. Three positive recombinant plasmids pDA1, pDB2 and pDB11 were cloned from genomic library of aniline degradation strain AD9. The result of aniline dioxygenase （AD） activity and catechol 2,3-oxygenase （C230） activity assay showed that pDA1 and pDB11 contain aniline dioxygenase genes and catechol 2,3-dioxygenase genes, respectively. The sequence analysis of the total 24.7-kb region revealed that this region contains 25 ORFs, of which 17 genes involve metabolism of aniline. In the gene cluster, the first five genes （tadQTA1A2B） and the subsequent gene （tadR1） were predicted to encode a multi-component aniline dioxygenase and a LysR-type regulator, respectively, while the others （tadD1C1D2C2EFGIJKL） were expected to encode metacleavage pathway enzymes for catechol degradation. The gene cluster was surrounded by two IS1071 sequences.

DNase I hypersensitive sites in the chromatin of human mu immunoglobulin heavy-chain genes

An immunoglobulin polypeptide chain is encoded by multiple gene segments that lie far apart in germ-line DNA and must be brought together to allow expression of an immunoglobulin gene active in B lymphocytes. For the immunoglobulin heavy chain genes, one of many variable (V) region genes becomes joined to one of several diversity (D) segments which are fused to one of several joining (J) segments lying 5' of the constant region (C) genes. Here we show that the rearranged mu genes of an IgM-producing human B-lymphocyte cell line exhibit pancreatic deoxyribonuclease (DNase I) hypersensitive sites in the JH-C mu intron that are absent in naked DNA or the chromatin of other differentiated cell types. DNA sequence analysis reveals that the major hypersensitive site maps to a conserved region of the JH-C mu intron recently shown to function as a tissue-specific enhancer of heavy-chain gene expression. A similar association of an enhancer-like element with a DNase I hypersensitive site has been reported for the mouse immunoglobulin light-chain J kappa-C kappa intron. These results implicate disruption of local chromatin structure in the mechanism of immunoglobulin enhancer function.
