E47 is a helix-loop-helix transcription factor that binds to sites in the immunoglobulin heavy-chain and kappa light-chain gene enhancers. Other proteins of this type are involved in cell-type determination. A possible role for E47 in B-cell development was tested by overexpressing a cDNA encoding E47 in the pre-T-cell line 2017. We found a dramatic activation of a germ-line heavy-chain gene transcript in these stable transfectants and an equally large induction of immunoglobulin D-to-J rearrangement, the first recognized step in B-cell development. Germ-line kappa light-chain gene transcription and rearrangement were unaffected, but transcription of the recombination-activating genes RAG-1 and RAG-2 and the lymphoid-specific transcription factor Oct-2 was increased. These T cells did not transcribe their rearranged DJ alleles, however, and failed to progress to the next stage of heavy-chain gene assembly, V-to-DJ rearrangement. Because transcription factor E47 can induce pre-T cells to carry out events of B-cell differentiation, it may be a crucial determinant of the earliest stages of B-cell development.
