We have determined the DNA sequence of the murine I-E beta b immune response gene of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) of the C57BL/10 mouse and compared it with the sequence of allelic I-E and non-allelic I-A genes from the d and k haplotypes. The polymorphic exon sequences which encode the first extracellular globular domain of the E beta domain show approximately 8% nucleotide substitutions between the E beta b and E beta d alleles compared with only approximately 2% substitutions for the intron sequences. This suggests that an active mechanism such as micro gene conversion events drive the accumulation of these mutations in the polymorphic exons. The fact that several of the nucleotide changes are clustered supports this hypothesis. The E beta b and E beta k genes show approximately 2-fold fewer nucleotide substitutions than the E beta d/E beta b pair. The A beta bm12, a mutant I-A beta b gene from the C57BL/6 mouse, has been shown to result from three nucleotide changes clustered in a short region of the beta 1 domain, which suggests that a micro gene conversion event caused this mutation. We show here that the E beta b gene is identical to the non-allelic A beta bm12 DNA sequence in the mutated region and suggest, therefore, that the E beta b gene was the donor sequence for this intergenic transfer of genetic information. Diversity in class II MHC genes appears therefore to be generated, at least in part, by the same mechanism proposed for class I genes: intergenic transfer of short DNA regions between non-allelic genes.
