The chromosome translocations characteristic of certain B lymphoid tumours associate the myc oncogene and immunoglobulin loci. The typical t(12;15) in murine plasmacytomas and analogous t(14;8) in Burkitt lymphomas couple the myc coding region to one of the switch recombination regions within the immunoglobulin heavy (H) chain locus; hence the switch machinery may promote some translocations. Significantly, translocation induces constitutive myc expression, the untranslocated myc allele remaining silent. The predilection for breakpoints near the 5' end of the c-myc gene may reflect selection for altered myc regulation. In most tumours, the stimulatory effect of the H locus context is not understood, but an H locus enhancer participates in some tumours, including one displaying a novel transposition. The variant (6;15) translocations found in about 15% of plasmacytomas involve the myc band and the region of chromosome 6 where the kappa locus lies. The t(6;15) is shown here to represent an exchange between C kappa and a chromosome 15 locus (designated pvt-1) which lies unexpectedly far from c-myc. The association of myc expression with pvt-1 alterations suggest that myc can be activated at a distance. Myc has also been implicated in some T lymphomas by detection of proviral inserts near myc and also, surprisingly, within the pvt-1 locus. Inserts near myc appear to activate its expression via the retroviral enhancer. 相似文献

A variant mouse plasmacytoma (MPC)-associated translocation chromosome has arisen by pericentric inversion and exchange of the distal segments of a Robertsonian 6;15 fusion chromosome in the CAK TEPC 1198 mouse plasmacytoma, as described earlier. In situ hybridization was performed on the normal and the inverted Rb chromosomes, using myc and kappa probes. On the normal Rb chromosome, myc was in the 15 D2/3 region, whereas kappa hybridized in the 6 C2 area, as expected. On the inverted Rb chromosome, myc remains on the centrometric side of the translocation breakpoint on the chromosome 15-derived portion, whereas kappa has moved to the chromosome 6-derived segment that joined the same breakpoint on the telomeric side. Taken together with our recent demonstration that the murine c-myc locus is oriented 'head up' on chromosome 15, and with the results of Cory and co-workers concerning the relationship between the kappa gene and the associated pvt-1 region in the CAK TEPC 1198 tumor, the following conclusions can be drawn: (i) in the variant translocation of the CAK TEPC 1198 MPC, the breakage occurs 3' of the c-myc gene, as in the human Burkitt lymphoma-associated variant translocations; (ii) the pvt-1 gene on chromosome 15 is distal to the myc gene; (iii) the kappa light chain locus is oriented 'head up' on mouse chromosome 6 and faces pvt-1 and, beyond it, c-myc, in a head-to-tail configuration. 相似文献

Chromosome 8 breakpoint far 3'' of the c-myc oncogene in a Burkitt''s lymphoma 2;8 variant translocation is equivalent to the murine pvt-1 locus. 总被引:12,自引:3,他引:9 下载免费PDF全文
The 2;8 variant translocation of human Burkitt's lymphomas is closely related cytogenetically to the t(6;15) of murine plasmacytomas; both involve a reciprocal exchange between the Ig kappa locus and a band region indistinguishable from that bearing the c-myc oncogene. To define their molecular relationship, we have compared cloned chromosome 8 DNA from the t(2;8) breakpoint in the human Burkitt's lymphoma JBL2 with cloned DNA from the murine pvt-1 locus, the major chromosome 15 breakpoint region in murine t(6;15). DNA sequencing and Southern blot analysis shows that these two regions are homologous. Thus the t(2;8) in JBL2 is the molecular equivalent of many murine t(6;15). The murine pvt-1 locus lies an unknown distance 3' of c-myc; analysis of DNA from several tumours with c-myc amplification reveals that pvt-1 is co-amplified in at least one case, placing pvt-1 approximately 100-500 kb 3' of c-myc. The significance of these results with respect to the role of pvt-1 in tumorigenesis is discussed. 相似文献

Proviral integration site Mis-1 in rat thymomas corresponds to the pvt-1 translocation breakpoint in murine plasmacytomas. 总被引:20,自引:3,他引:17 下载免费PDF全文

Two loci independently implicated in T-and B-lymphocyte neoplasia are shown to be equivalent. The Mis-1 locus is a common proviral integration site in retrovirally induced rat T lymphomas, while the pvt-1 locus on murine chromosome 15 frequently translocates to the kappa locus in plasmacytomas bearing 6;15 translocations. By comparing cloned sequences, we show that pvt-1 is the murine homolog of Mis-1. 相似文献

Three breakpoints of variant t(2;8) translocations in Burkitt''s lymphoma cells fall within a region 140 kilobases distal from c-myc. 总被引:13,自引:2,他引:11 下载免费PDF全文

The variant translocations t(2;8) in Burkitt's lymphoma cells join band q24 of chromosome 8, distal from c-myc, to the Igkappa locus, with considerable variation in the location of the breakpoints on chromosome 8. We report the cloning and molecular characterization of a chromosome 8 region, distal from the c-myc locus, which encompasses the breakpoints of the Burkitt's lymphoma cell lines BL64, BL21, and LY91 within 11 kilobase pairs, termed provisionally bvr-1 (Burkitt's variants' rearranging region 1). Using probes from the c-myc, the bvr-1, and the human pvt-1 loci obtained by chromosome walking coupled with pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, we have constructed a physical map of the region 3' of c-myc. We map bvr-1 and pvt-1 about 140 and 260 kilobase pairs, respectively, distal from c-myc. 相似文献

c-myc Gene rearrangements involving gamma immunoglobulin heavy chain gene switch regions in murine plasmacytomas 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2 下载免费PDF全文
L J Harris E F Remmers P Brodeur R Riblet P D'Eustachio K B Marcu 《Nucleic acids research》1983,11(23):8303-8315
In murine plasmacytomas, the c-myc gene has frequently been found to undergo rearrangement by virtue of a T(12;15) chromosome translocation. The immunoglobulin heavy chain gene switch region (S alpha) constitutes the target for most of these recombinations particularly in IgA producing plasmacytomas. We sought to identify non-S alpha myc target sites in several IgG producing tumors. The c-myc target in MPC-11 (a BALB/c IgG2b producing plasmacytoma) has been cloned, localized to the Igh-C locus and identified as the gamma 2a heavy chain gene switch region (S gamma 2a). Furthermore, by Southern blot hybridization, we have determined that the S gamma 2b region is the c-myc target in two NZB IgG2b producing plasmacytomas. The potential relation between Ig class expressed and c-myc translocation target is discussed. 相似文献

6;7 chromosomal translocation in spontaneously arising rat immunocytomas: evidence for c-myc breakpoint clustering and correlation between isotypic expression and the c-myc target. 下载免费PDF全文
W S Pear G Wahlstr?m S F Nelson H Axelson A Szeles F Wiener H Bazin G Klein J Sümegi 《Molecular and cellular biology》1988,8(1):441-451
Our previous studies have shown that spontaneously arising immunocytomas in the LOU/Ws1 strain of rats contain a t(6;7) chromosomal translocation in all seven tumors studied (F. M. Babonits, J. Spira, G. Klein, and H. Bazin, Int. J. Cancer 29:431-437, 1982). We have also shown that the c-myc is located on chromosome 7 (J. Sümegi, J. Spira, H. Bazin, J. Szpirer, G. Levan, and G. Klein, Nature (London) 306:497-499, 1983) and the immunoglobulin H cluster on chromosome 6 (W.S. Pear, G. Wahlström, J. Szpirer, G. Levan, G. Klein, and J. Sümegi, Immunogenetics 23:393-395, 1986). We now report a detailed cytogenetic and molecular analysis of nine additional rat immunocytomas. The t(6;7) chromosomal translocation is found in all tumors. Mapping of the c-myc breakpoints showed that in 10 of 14 tumors, the c-myc breakpoints are clustered in a 1.5-kilobase region upstream of exon 1. In contrast with sporadic Burkitt''s lymphoma and mouse plasmacytoma, only 1 of 14 tumors contains the c-myc breakpoints in either exon 1 or intron 1. Analysis of the sequences juxtaposed to the c-myc show that immunoglobulin H switch regions are the targets in at least five tumors and that there is a strong correlation between the secreted immunoglobulin and the c-myc target. Unlike sporadic Burkitt''s lymphoma and mouse plasmacytoma, at least two rat immunocytomas show recombination of the c-myc with sequences distinct from immunoglobulin switch regions. 相似文献

A human chromosome 8 region with abnormalities in B cell, HTLV-I+ T cell and c-myc amplified tumours. 总被引:17,自引:2,他引:15 下载免费PDF全文
We describe a region of human chromosome 8q24 involved in variant Burkitt's lymphoma translocations, and where an interstitial deletion occurs in an HTLV-I+ ATL and three c-myc amplicons terminate. The deletion in the ATL DNA begins within 1.3 kb of the cloned Burkitt's lymphoma translocation breakpoint and ends within 700 bases of the cloned human equivalent of the rat retroviral insertion site, mis-1. In addition, three c-myc amplicons terminate in this region and the end of one of these (the colon carcinoma COL0320) maps within 12 kb of the distal end of the ATL deletion. This region is probably approximately 300 kb downstream of c-myc and the consistent occurrence of abnormalities in this region implies involvement in tumour aetiology in several different cell types. 相似文献

Molecular involvement of the pvt-1 locus in a gamma/delta T-cell leukemia bearing a variant t(8;14)(q24;q11) translocation. 下载免费PDF全文

A highly malignant human T-cell receptor (TCR) gamma/delta+ T-cell leukemia was shown to have a productive rearrangement of the TCR delta locus on one chromosome 14 and a novel t(8;14)(q24;q11) rearrangement involving the J delta 1 gene segment on the other chromosome 14. Chromosome walking coupled with pulsed-field gel electrophoretic (PFGE) analysis determined that the TCR J delta 1 gene fragment of the involved chromosome was relocated approximately 280 kb downstream of the c-myc proto-oncogene locus found on chromosome band 8q24. This rearrangement was reminiscent of the Burkitt's lymphoma variants that translocate to a region identified as the pvt-1 locus. Sequence comparison of the breakpoint junctions of interchromosomal rearrangements in T-cell leukemias involving the TCR delta-chain locus revealed novel signal-like sequence motifs, GCAGA(A/T)C and CCCA(C/G)GAC. These sequences were found on chromosome 8 at the 5' flanking site of the breakpoint junction of chromosome 8 in the TCR gamma/delta leukemic cells reported here and also on chromosome 1 in T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia patients carrying the t(1;14)(p32;q11) rearrangement. These results suggest that (i) during early stages of gamma delta T-cell ontogeny, the region 280 kb 3' of the c-myc proto-oncogene on chromosome 8 is fragile and accessible to the lymphoid recombination machinery and (ii) rearrangements to both 8q24 and 1p32 may be governed by novel sequence motifs and be subject to common enzymatic mechanisms. 相似文献

Common sequence motifs at the rearrangement sites of a constitutional X/autosome translocation and associated deletion. 下载免费PDF全文
Reciprocal chromosome translocations are common de novo rearrangements that occur randomly throughout the human genome. To learn about causative mechanisms, we have cloned and sequenced the breakpoints of a cytologically balanced constitutional reciprocal translocation, t(X;4)(p21.2;q31.22), present in a girl with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Physical mapping of the derivative chromosomes, after their separation in somatic cell hybrids, reveals that the translocation disrupts the DMD gene in Xp21 within the 18-kb intron 16. Restriction mapping and sequencing of clones that span both translocation breakpoints as well as the corresponding normal regions indicate the loss of approximately 5 kb in the formation of the derivative X chromosome, with 4-6 bp deleted from chromosome 4. RFLP and Southern analyses indicate that the de novo translocation is a paternal origin and that the father's X chromosome contains the DNA that is deleted in the derivative X. Most likely, deletion and translation arose simultaneously from a complex rearrangement event that involves three chromosomal breakpoints. Short regions of sequence homology were present at the three sites. A 5-bp sequence, GGAAT, found exactly at the translocation breakpoints on both normal chromosomes X and 4, has been preserved only on the der(4) chromosome. It is likely that the X-derived sequence GGAATCA has been lost in the formation of the der(X) chromosome, as it matches an inverted GAATCA sequence present on the opposite strand exactly at the other end of the deleted 5-kb fragment. These findings suggest a possible mechanism which may have juxtaposed the three sites and mediated sequence-specific breakage and recombination between nonhomologous chromosomes in male meiosis. 相似文献

Closing in on the Rieger syndrome gene on 4q25: mapping translocation breakpoints within a 50-kb region. 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1 下载免费PDF全文

Rieger syndrome (RGS) is an autosomal dominant disorder of morphogenesis affecting mainly the formation of the anterior eye chamber and of the teeth. RGS has been localized to human chromosome 4q25 by linkage to epidermal growth factor (EGF). We have constructed a detailed physical map and a YAC contig of the genomic region encompassing the EGF locus. Using FISH, several YACs could be shown to cross the breakpoint in two independent RGS patients with balanced 4q translocations. Alu- and LINE-fragmentation of a 2.4-Mb YAC generated a panel of shorter YACs ranging in size from 2.4 Mb to 75 kb. Several fragmentation YACs were subcloned in cosmids, which were mapped to specific subregions of the original YAC by hybridization to the fragmentation panel to further refine the localization of the translocation breakpoints, allowing mapping of the breakpoints to within the most-telomeric 200 kb of the original 2.4-Mb YAC. FiberFISH of cosmids located in this 200-kb region mapped the two translocation breakpoints within a 50-kb region approximately 100-150 kb centromeric to D4S193, significantly narrowing down the candidate region for RGS. The mapping data and resources reported here should facilitate the identification of a gene implicated in Rieger syndrome. 相似文献

We have previously reported that a segment of DNA from a murine plasmacytoma comprises DNA from three chromosomes, the immunoglobulin kappa light-chain locus on chromosome 6, the S mu locus on chromosome 12, and a region on chromosome 15. We now report that the reciprocal product contains DNA from only the kappa locus and chromosome 15 and not from S mu. We conclude that a complex series of events, including both a transposition of DNA and a translocation between chromosomes, generated these imperfect reciprocal products. 相似文献
