Lymphocyte pathway analysis using naturally lymphocyte‐deficient fish
Abstract: Comparative phylogenetic analyses are of potential value to establish the essential components of genetic networks underlying physiological traits. For species that naturally lack particular lymphocyte lineages, we show here that this strategy readily distinguishes trait-specific actors from pleiotropic components of the genetic network governing lymphocyte differentiation. Previously, three of the four members of the DNA polymerase X family have been implicated in the junctional diversification process during the somatic assembly of antigen receptors. Our phylogenetic analysis indicates that the presence of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase is strictly associated with the facility of V(D)J recombination, whereas PolL and PolM genes are retained even in species lacking Rag-mediated somatic diversification of antigen receptor genes
