The murine lambda5-VpreB1 locus encodes two proteins that form part of the pre-B-cell receptor and play a key role in B-lymphocyte development. We have identified a locus control region (LCR) which is responsible for coordinate activation of both genes in pre-B cells. Analysis of mice with single and multiple copies of transgenes shows a clear difference in the expression behavior of the genes depending on the transgene copy number. While expression of both lambda5 and VpreB1 in single- and two-copy integrations requires the presence of a set of DNase I hypersensitive sites located 3' of the lambda5 gene, small fragments containing the genes have LCR activity when arranged in multiple-copy tandem arrays, indicating that additional components of the LCR are located within or close to the genes. The complete LCR is capable of driving efficient copy-dependent expression of a lambda5 gene in pre-B cells even when it is integrated into centomeric gamma-satellite DNA. The finding that activation of expression of the locus by positively acting factors is fully dominant over the silencing effect of heterochromatin has implications for models for chromatin-mediated gene silencing during B-cell development.
