ABSTRACT
The MOLT-16 cell line was established from the leukemic cells of a patient with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and contains a t(8;14)(q24;q11) resulting in juxtaposition of sequences downstream of the MYC gene on chromosome 8 and the J region of the T-cell receptor alpha chain gene (TCRA) on chromosome 14. The reciprocal translocation involved a complex rearrangement with two chromosome breakpoints within the TCRAJ region on chromosome 14, resulting in inversion of a 1.4 kb DNA fragment between the two breakpoints. The 5' border of the inversion joints with another segment of chromosome 14, whereas the 3' border joins with a region of chromosome 8 located at least 257 kb downstream of MYC. Extensive deletions have occurred on both chromosomes 8 and 14 in conjunction with the translocation. To investigate the possible involvement of the V(D)J recombinase in this translocation, we analyzed the nucleotide sequences surrounding the translocation breakpoints. The breakpoint on chromosome 14 occurs between a segment coding for a TCRAJ sequence and its hepatamer-nonamer signal. Heptamer-nonamer consensus sequences are also identified on chromosome 8 adjacent to the breakpoint. Inserted N and P nucleotides are observed at the breakpoint junctions.
