To determine the role of nucleosomes in the regulation of Igk locus rearrangement. Our preliminary results showed that the V(D)J recombinase could not recogn
15、ize RSS targets if they were arranged into a nucleosome structure. We propose experiments to extend these observations by 1) determining what fraction of the Jk gene segments are in the nucleosomal structure in cells undergoing rearrangement as compared with non-lymphoid cells, 2) determining if nuc
16、leosomes are phased across the Jk locus, 3)determining whether nucleosome remodeling complex can alter the accessibility of the Jk cluster in native or reconstituted chromatin. This analysis will give us insight of the mechanism of Igk gene rearrangement. Rationale and hypothesisSignificanceApproach
