The bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) belongs to the Cetartiodactyla and, similarly to other cetaceans, represents the most successful mammalian colonization of the aquatic environment. Here we report a genomic, evolutionary, and expression study of T. truncatus T cell receptor beta (TRB) genes. Although the organization of the dolphin TRB locus is similar to that of the other artiodactyl species, with three in tandem D-J-C clusters located at its 3′ end, its uniqueness is given by the reduction of the total length due essentially to the absence of duplications and to the deletions that have drastically reduced the number of the germline TRBV genes. We have analyzed the relevant mature transcripts from two subjects. The simultaneous availability of rearranged T cell receptor α (TRA) and TRB cDNA from the peripheral blood of one of the two specimens, and the human/dolphin amino acids multi-sequence alignments, allowed us to calculate the most likely interactions at the protein interface between the alpha/beta heterodimer in complex with major histocompatibility class I (MH1) protein. Interacting amino acids located in the complementarity-determining region according to IMGT numbering (CDR-IMGT) of the dolphin variable V-alpha and beta domains were identified. According to comparative modelization, the atom pair contact sites analysis between the human MH1 grove (G) domains and the T cell receptor (TR) V domains confirms conservation of the structure of the dolphin TR/pMH.

The nuclear enzyme terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) is thought to contribute to the diversity of certain immunoglobulin and T cell receptor gene rearrangements through the addition of random nucleotides at their variable (V)-joining (J) region junctions. An acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with an immature T cell phenotype (CD7+, CD5+, CD1+/-, CD2+/-, CD3-, CD4-, CD8-) was found to be TdT+ with germline immunoglobulin heavy chain, T cell receptor beta chain, and T cell gamma chain genes. The data indicate that TdT expression can precede T gamma and T beta rearrangement during T lymphoid ontogeny consistent with its proposed association with the T cell receptor rearrangement process. Southern analysis of certain cases of T-ALL may not result in the detection of a monoclonal population of cells.
