In transcripts from the rearranged mouse immunoglobulin kappa light-chain locus, the intron separating the variable (V) plus joining (J) exon from the constant (C) exon contains up to three additional J regions, each with a functional 5' splice site. Previously, HeLa cells transfected with DNA encoding kappa light chains have been shown to mimic kappa-producing lymphocytes in splicing exclusively to the upstream-most 5' splice site, whereas selectivity is lost when kappa transcripts containing two more J regions are incubated in HeLa cell or lymphocyte nuclear extracts. Here we demonstrate that the fidelity of in vivo splicing depends on neither V-J rearrangement, the instability of erroneously splicing transcripts, nor a hierarchy of J-region 5' splice site utilization. Analysis of the splicing of presynthesized kappa transcripts injected into Xenopus oocytes demonstrates the correct 5' splice-site selection is independent of transcription. Implications for in vitro studies of regulated splice-site pairing are discussed.

genes and development

Correct in vivo splicing of the mouse immunoglobulin kappa light-chain pre-mRNA is dependent on 5' splice-site position even in the absence of transcription.
