Tóm tắt

A series of mouse myeloma cell lines producing mutant γ2b immunoglobin heavy chains, which resemble heavy chain disease proteins, were analyzed for messenger RNA abundance as a function of mRNA alterations. A mutation effectively deleting the γ2b-CH1 domain of the mRNA had little or no effect on Ig heavy chain mRNA abundance on half-life (mutant 10.1). A mutation in the γ2b-CH2 and CH3 domain, causing premature termination of translation, had more deleterious effects on Ig heavy chain mRNA abundance and half-life (mutant 117). Substitution of the deleted portions of the γ2b mRNA with γ2a sequences by subclass switching in the cells (mutants K23 and K25) resulted in increased heavy chain abundance and half-life relative to the parent 117. In contrast, kappa light chain mRNA levels and half-lives remain constant among the mutants. The wild-type and mutant cell lines transcribed the Ig heavy chain γ2b locus equally when compared with an internal β-actin standard by transcription run on studies. Therefore, half-life of the Ig heavy chain mRNA seems to be the principal determinant in cytoplasmic mRNA abundance in this system.
