Abstract excerpt
Hairpin formation serves an important regulatory role in V(D)J recombination because it requires synapsis of an appropriate pair of recombination sites. How hairpin formation is regulated and which regions of the RAG proteins perform this step remain unknown. We analyzed two conditional RAG-1 mutants that affect residues quite close in the primary sequence to an active site amino acid (D600), and we found that...
