This function is shown to be essential for complete V(D)J recombination at chromosomal loci.

Furthermore, Roldan et al. also report that IgH locus contraction and centromeric recruitment are reversed after pre-B cell receptor signaling, suggesting a novel mechanism to mediate allelic exclusion.

Bergman Epigenetic ontogeny of the Igκ locus during B cell development Nat Immunol 6 2005 198 203 These authors analyzed the epigenetic changes undergone by Igκ alleles during B cell ontogeny. They report that, following relocation of both alleles from the periphery to the center of the nucleus, one is preferentially packaged into an active chromatin structure, whereas the opposite allele is recruited to centromeric heterochromatin.

The authors reports that only a small percentage of pro-B cells express the GFP marker, that this expression is monoallelic and that the transcribing Jκ alleles are the preferred targets for Vκ-to-Jκ recombination. This study supports a model in which a stochastic mechanism leads to monoallelic expression of the IgJκ locus, thus contributing to the establishment of allelic exclusion.

Krangel Regulation of T cell receptor beta allelic exclusion at a level beyond accessibility Nat Immunol 6 2005 189 197 In this knock-in study, the TCRα gene enhancer was introduced downstream of the Vβ12 gene segment. Despite increased Vβ accessibility and germline transcription in double-positive thymocytes, the inhibition of Vβ-to-DJβ rearrangement appears to be maintained. Following flow cytometry analysis to identify double TCRβ-expressing cells, the authors conclude that allelic exclusion at Vβ12 was partially subverted in double-negative thymocytes.
