The cis-acting gene regulating specifically the inducibility of lambda 1-bearing B cells has been mapped within 2.9 cM of the structural gene. If the lambda 1lo-phenotype is due to the gly leads to val interchange in C lambda 1, then an argument can be made that (a) the lambda 1lo-phenotype is due to inefficient induction of lambda 1lo-bearing B cells and (b) B cell triggering is dependent upon a conformational change in the Ig receptor upon interaction with antigen. If the lambda 1lo-phenotype is due to a regulatory sequence linked to the structural C lambda 1-gene, then it must control the expression of the lambda 1-locus during development into adulthood, e.g., by an effect on methylation.
特异性调节携带λ1的B细胞诱导性的顺式作用基因已被定位在结构基因的2.9厘摩范围内。如果λ1低表达表型是由于Cλ1中甘氨酸导致缬氨酸互换,那么可以认为:(a)λ1低表达表型是由于携带λ1低表达的B细胞诱导效率低下,以及(b)B细胞触发取决于免疫球蛋白受体与抗原相互作用时的构象变化。如果λ1低表达表型是由于与结构Cλ1基因相连的调控序列所致,那么它必定在发育至成年期的过程中控制λ1基因座的表达,例如通过对甲基化的影响来实现。
