mRNAs encoding the membrane-associated (mu m) and secreted (mu s) forms of mu heavy chain are derived from transcripts of the same immunoglobulin gene by differential RNA processing. To help elucidate the mechanism that regulates the production of these two mu mRNAs during the course of B-lymphoid maturation, we produced a series of specifically modified mu-chain genes and studied their expression when transfected into cells representing either early or late developmental stages. We have established that proper regulation depends on linkage of the mu s and mu m poly(A) addition sites and the length of the mu s-mu m intron. Deletion of an 800 to 900-nucleotide segment from the central region of this intron abolishes regulation; replacement of this segment with miscellaneous DNA sequences restores it. From these results we propose a model in which regulation is principally achieved by competition between cleavage/polyadenylylation of the mu s site and splicing of the C mu 4 and mu m exons.

Regulated production of mu m and mu s mRNA requires linkage of the poly(A) addition sites and is dependent on the length of the mu s-mu m intron.
