Innate-like CD27+CD45RBhigh {gamma}{delta} T Cells Require TCR Signaling for Homeostasis in Peripheral Lymphoid Organs [IMMUNE SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT]
Key PointsE4 is an enhancer element that regulates transcriptions of TCR genes. E4–/– mice have fewer CD27+CD45RBhigh V2+ T cells in peripheral organs. Attenuation of TCR signal impairs homeostasis of T cells in peripheral organs.

Molecular Drivers of Lymphocyte Organization in Vertebrate Mucosal Surfaces: Revisiting the TNF Superfamily Hypothesis [IMMUNOGENETICS]
Key PointsLymphotoxin axis is not essential for formation of O-MALT in ectotherms and birds. Vertebrate O-MALT structures are enriched in neuroactive ligand/receptor genes. Mammalian PPs and LNs are enriched in genes involved in olfactory transduction.

Genome Topology Control of Antigen Receptor Gene Assembly [BRIEF REVIEWS]
The past decade has increased our understanding of how genome topology controls RAG endonuclease-mediated assembly of lymphocyte AgR genes. New technologies have illuminated how the large IgH, Ig, TCRα/, and TCRβ loci fold into compact structures that place their numerous V gene segments in similar three-dimensional proximity to their distal recombination center composed of RAG-bound (D)J gene segments. Many studies have shown that CTCF and cohesin protein–mediated chromosome looping have fundamental...
