- W2000708992 abstract "T cells play important regulatory roles in the immune responses of vertebrates. Antigen-specific T-cell activation involves T-cell receptor (TCR) recognition of a peptide antigen presented by a major histocompatibility complex molecule, and much has been learned about this antigen-recognition process through structural and genetic studies of mammalian TCRs. Although previous studies have demonstrated that avian T cells express cell-surface molecules analogous to the mammalian TCR heterodimers, TCR genes have not been identified in nonmammalian species. We now report the cloning of a cDNA that encodes the beta chain of the chicken TCR. Southern blot analysis using this TCR beta cDNA probe demonstrated that the chicken TCR beta locus was clonally rear-ranged in chicken T-cell lines. TCR beta mRNA was expressed in cells isolated from the thymus but not in cells from the bursa of Fabricius where B cells are generated. Sequence analysis of six additional TCR beta cDNAs suggested the existence of at least two variable (V) region families, three joining (J) elements, and single diversity (D) and constant (C) elements. As in mammals, considerable nucleotide diversity was observed at the junctions of the variable, diversity, and joining elements in chicken TCR beta cDNAs. Genomic V beta and J beta elements were also cloned and sequenced. Both elements are flanked by classical heptamer/nonamer recombination signal sequences. Although the chicken and mammalian TCR beta chains displayed only 31% overall amino acid sequence identity, a number of conserved structural features were observed. These data indicate that (i) the chicken TCR beta repertoire is generated by combinatorial and junctional diversity and (ii) despite divergent evolution at the level of nucleotide sequence, important structural features of the TCR beta polypeptide are conserved between avian and mammalian species." @default.
