We have recently described a t(8;14)(q24;q11) translocation which appeared secondarily in a non-established acute T-cell leukaemia and involved the 3' region of c-myc proto-oncogene and the alpha chain of the T-cell receptor gene (TcR-alpha). In order to elucidate the mechanism of the translocation, we have isolated breakpoint regions from normal and recombinant chromosomes. Our results show that the translocation occurred at the 3' end of a V alpha segment in the proximity of recombination signal sequences (5'-heptamer-23bp spacer-nonamer-3'). Interestingly, an inverted heptamer internal to the V alpha segment was found at two nucleotides 5' of the break. Nucleotide sequence analysis also revealed the presence of homologous signal sequences on chromosome 8, suggesting that the recombination enzymatic system played an important role in the generation of the translocation. This hypothesis is supported by the addition of N nucleotides and the loss of only three nucleotides during the rejoining process. These data established the involvement of a V alpha segment and its recombination signals in the mechanisms of t(8;14) translocations in T-cell leukaemias.
