A Zinc-binding Domain Involved in the Dimerization of RAG1
Open accessAbstract
Recombination-activating gene 1 (RAG1), as well as RAG2, are the only lymphoid-specific genes required for V(D)J recombination. RAG1 protein contains a C3HC4 zinc-binding motif (zinc ring finger) that binds two zinc ions. We have found that RAG1 contains additional zinc-binding motifs in the form of two separate C2H2 zinc finger sequences. One of the zinc fingers, in combination with the C3HC4 subdomain, forms a highly specific dimerization domain. A combination of biophysical techniques has been used to determine the energetics of association, the overall shape of the dimerization domain, and the relative orientation of the monomeric subunits within the dimer. These results provide direct evidence that a C3HC4 motif is involved in a protein-protein interaction, in this case via homodimer formation. In addition, the observation that the dimerization domain includes multi-class zinc binding motifs, namely both a zinc finger and a C3HC4 subdomain, has important implications for other C3HC4-containing proteins. The position of this dimerization domain in the N-terminal third of the RAG1 sequence of 1040 amino acid residues may have a significant influence on the activities associated with the C-terminal domains of the protein.

Only two cysteines of the zinc finger B (ZFB) C2H2 motif in RAG1 (residues 695-761) involved in its binding to RAG2 are perfectly conserved in the Transib TPases (motif 7).
“Interestingly, only two cysteines of the zinc finger B (ZFB) C2H2 motif in RAG1 (residues 695–761) involved in its binding to RAG2 [30,31] are perfectly conserved in the Transib TPases (motif 7; see Figures 3 and Figure S3).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
