Abstract excerpt
More than one-third of the RAG1 protein can be truncated from the N-terminus with only subtle effects on the products of V(D)J recombination in vitro or in a mouse. What, then, is the function of the N-terminal domain? We believe it to be regulatory. We determined, several years ago, that an included RING motif could function as an ubiquitin E3 ligase. Whether this activity is limited to automodification, or may...
