RESUMO

Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a recently identified subset of leukocytes that play a central role in pathogen surveillance and resistance, modulation of immune response, and tissue repair. They are remarkably similar to CD4+ T-helper subsets in terms of function and transcription factors required for their development but are distinguished by their lack of antigen-specific receptors. Despite their similarities, the absence of a surface T-cell receptor (TCR) and presence of ILCs and precursors in adult bone marrow has led to speculation that ILCs and T cells develop separately from lineages that branch at the point of precursors within the bone marrow. Considering the common lineage markers and effector cytokine profiles shared between ILCs and T cells, it is surprising that the status of the TCR loci in ILCs was not fully explored at the time of their discovery. Here, we demonstrate that a high proportion of peripheral tissue ILC2s have TCRγ chain gene rearrangements and TCRδ locus deletions. Detailed analyses of these loci show abundant frameshifts and premature stop codons that would encode nonfunctional TCR proteins. Collectively, these data argue that ILC2 can develop from T cells that fail to appropriately rearrange TCR genes, potentially within the thymus.

RESUMO

Predicted promoter regions of Milk vetch dwarf virus (MDV) components (C1-C11) were isolated and fused with a beta-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene and the characteristics of the promoters were examined. In transgenic tobacco calli, promoters of MDV C4 (encoding a cell-cycle link protein), C5 and C7 (both encoding unknown proteins), C6 (encoding a nuclear-shuttle protein) and C8 (encoding a movement protein) generated a stronger level of GUS expression than the Cauliflower mosaic virus 35S RNA promoter (P35S). In leaves of transgenic tobacco plants, the promoters of C5 and C8 conferred a level of GUS activity comparable to that of P35S. Histochemical GUS analysis showed that the promoters of C4-C9, the latter encoding a capsid protein, were active in phloem and meristematic tissue. The promoter of C8 was also active in mesophyll and cortex cell types. A low level of activity was found for the promoters of C11, which encodes a master replication-initiator protein (Rep), and C1, C2, C3 and C10, which encode additional Reps, in both transgenic tobacco calli and plants.

RESUMO

The activity of a predicted promoter, PMC8, from Milk vetch dwarf virus was evaluated by comparing it with the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S RNA promoter (P35S) and PNCR, a promoter from Soybean chlorotic mottle virus. When the GUS fusion gene was introduced into tobacco, PMC8 showed a similar expression profile to P35S but with a more intense expression in proliferating tissues. The usefulness of PMC8 was confirmed by driving NPTII for selection of kanamycin-resistant tobacco plants with improved transformation efficiency. PMC8 was also effective in transgenic rice plants. Thus, PMC8 is useful as an alternative to P35S in both dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous plants, especially for gene expression in proliferating tissues.
