PHRF1 promotes the class switch recombination of IgA in CH12F3-2A cells.

ABSTRACT: PHRF1 is an E3 ligase that promotes TGF-β signaling by ubiquitinating a homeodomain repressor TG-interacting factor (TGIF). The suppression of PHRF1 activity by PML-RARα facilitates the progression of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). PHRF1 also contributes to non-homologous end-joining in response to DNA damage by linking H3K36me3 and NBS1 with DNA repair machinery. However, its role in class switch recombination (CSR) is not well understood. In this study, we report the importance of PHRF1 in IgA switching in CH12F3-2A cells and CD19-Cre mice. Our studies revealed that Crispr-Cas9 mediated PHRF1 knockout and shRNA-silenced CH12F3-2A cells reduced IgA production, as well as decreased the amounts of PARP1, NELF-A, and NELF-D. The introduction of PARP1 could partially restore IgA producti
