A newly identified process by which mistargeted V(D)J recombination could cause genome instability in childhood leukemia has been discovered. In this mechanism, called cut-and-run, the excised DNA by-products of V(D)J recombination are re-bound by the recombinase proteins and erroneously trigger double-strand breaks at multiple locations throughout the genome. Many of these breakpoints co-localize with known chromosome alterations in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
一个新发现的过程表明,错误靶向的V(D)J重组可能导致儿童白血病中的基因组不稳定。在这种被称为“剪切并运行”的机制中,V(D)J重组切除的DNA副产物被重组酶蛋白重新结合,并错误地在整个基因组的多个位置引发双链断裂。许多这些断点与急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)中已知的染色体改变共定位。
