Class switch recombination (CSR) enables B cells to produce different immunoglobulin isotypes and mount an effective immune response against pathogens. Timely resolution of CSR prevents damage due to an uncontrolled and prolonged immune response. While many positive regulators of CSR have been described, negative regulators of CSR are relatively unknown. Using a shRNA library screen in a mouse B cell line, we have identified the novel protein KIAA1841 (NM_027860) as a negative regulator of CSR. KIAA1841 is an uncharacterized protein of 82kD containing SANT and BTB domains. The BTB domain of KIAA1841 exhibited characteristic properties such as self-dimerization and interaction with co-repressor proteins. Overexpression of KIAA1841 inhibited CSR in primary mouse splenic B cells, and inhibition of CSR is dependent on the BTB domain while the SANT domain is largely dispensable. Thus, we have identified a new member of the BTB family that serves as a negative regulator of CSR.
