Immunoglobulin and T-cell receptor gene transcriptional enhancers encompass sequences which stimulate V(D)J recombination of associated variable gene segments. To address the question of whether enhancer-mediated transcriptional activation and recombinational activation depend on the same cis-regulatory sequences, we have produced transgenic mice by using recombination substrates containing various mutations in the immunoglobulin heavy-chain intronic enhancer (E mu). Analysis of substrate rearrangements indicated that specific compound elements including E-box transcriptional motifs are crucial for the recombinational activity of E mu in the developing B and T lymphocytes. In most cases, a faithful correlation between the levels of substrate germ line transcription and recombination was observed. However, some of the E mu mutants which were able to activate transcription of the unrearranged substrate were inefficient in stimulating transgene recombination, implying that the latter function depends on molecular events other than the mere activation of transcription and that both activities can be mediated through distinct regulatory sequences. Together, these results support a model in which lymphoid gene enhancers, in addition to providing docking sites for factors that dictate transcriptional accessibility, must have some specific function(s) for activating V(D)J recombination.
