Abstract excerpt
The RAG-1 protein plays an essential role in V(D)j recombination, but its exact function has not yet been defined. Here we report that a particular mutation in RAG-1 affects recombination by altering the specificity of target sequence usage. Recombination mediated by wild-type RAG-1 is tolerant o...
