The antibody repertoire of Bos taurus is characterized by a subset of variable heavy(VH)chain regions with ultralong third complementarity determining regions(CDR3)which,compared to other species,can provide a potent response to challenging antigens like HIV *** unusual CDR3 can range to over seventy highly diverse amino acids in length and form uniqueβ-ribbon‘stalk’and disulfide bonded‘knob’structures,far from the typical antigen binding *** genetic components and processes for forming these unusual cattle antibody VH CDR3 are not well *** we analyze sequences of Bos taurus antibody VH domains and find that the subset with ultralong CDR3 exclusively uses a single variable gene,IGHV1-7(VHBUL)rearranged to the longest diversity gene,*** eight nucleotide duplication at the 3′end of IGHV1-7 encodes a longer V-region producing an extended Fβ-strand that contributes to the stalk in a rearranged CDR3.A low amino acid variability was observed in CDR1 and CDR2,suggesting that antigen binding for this subset most likely only depends on the *** a novel,potentially AID mediated,deletional diversification mechanism of the *** VH ultralong CDR3 knob was discovered,in which interior codons of the IGHD8-2 region are removed while maintaining integral structural components of the knob and descending strand of the stalk in *** deletions serve to further diversify cysteine positions,and thus disulfide bonded ***,both germline and somatic genetic factors and processes appear to be involved in diversification of this structurally unusual cattle VH ultralong CDR3 repertoire.

The sequence upstream of the antibody variable region(antibody upstream sequence[AUS])consists of a 5′untranslated region(5′UTR)and a preceding leader *** sequence variations in AUS affect antibody engineering and PCR based antibody quantification and may also be implicated in mRNA transcription and ***,the diversity of AUSs remains *** 5′rapid amplification of cDNA ends and high-throughput antibody repertoire sequencing technique,we acquired full-length AUSs for human,rhesus macaque,cynomolgus macaque,mouse,and *** designed a bioinformatics pipeline and identified 3307 unique AUSs,corresponding to 3026 and 1457 unique sequences for 5′UTR and leader region,*** analysis indicated that 928(63.69%)leader sequences are novel relative to those recorded in the international immunogenetics information ***,leader sequences are more conserved than 5′UTR and seem to coevolve with their downstream V ***,single-nucleotide polymorphisms are position dependent for leader regions and may contribute to the functional reversal of the downstream V ***,the AUGs in AUSs were found to have little impact on gene *** together,our findings can facilitate primer design for capturing antibodies efficiently and provide a valuable resource for antibody engineering and molecule-level antibody studies.
