| Zusammenfassung: | <jats:p>A regulated shift from the production of membrane to secretory forms of Immunoglobulin M (IgM) mRNA occurs during B cell differentiation due to the activation of an upstream secretory poly(A) site. U1A plays a key role in inhibiting the expression of the secretory poly(A) site by inhibiting both cleavage at the poly(A) site and subsequent poly(A) tail addition. However, how the inhibitory effect of U1A is alleviated in differentiated cells, which express the secretory poly(A) site, is not known. Using B cell lines representing different stages of B cell differentiation, we show that the amount of U1A available to inhibit the secretory poly(A) site is reduced in differentiated cells. Undifferentiated B cells have more total U1A than differentiated cells and a greater proportion of this is not associated with the U1snRNP. We show that this is available to inhibit poly(A) addition at the secretory poly(A) site using cold competitor RNA oligos to de-repress poly(A) addition in nuclear extracts from the respective cell lines. In addition, endogenous non-snRNP associated U1A—immunopurified from the different cell lines—inhibits poly(A) polymerase activity proportional to U1A recovered, suggesting that available U1A level alone is responsible for changes in its inhibitory effect at the secretory IgM poly (A) site.</jats:p> |
