Abstract excerpt
The RAG1 and RAG2 proteins are required to assemble mature Ag receptor genes in developing lymphocytes. Hypomorphic mutations in the gene encoding RAG1 are associated with Omenn syndrome, a primary immunodeficiency. We explored the biochemical defects resulting from a mutation identified in an Omenn syndrome patient which generates an amino acid substitution in the RAG1 RING finger/ubiquitin ligase domain (C325Y...
