The Homeodomain Region of Rag-1 Reveals the Parallel Mechanisms of Bacterial and V(D)J Recombination
Open accessAbstract
The V(D)J recombinase subunits Rag-1 and Rag-2 mediate assembly of antigen receptor gene segments. We studied the mechanisms of DNA recognition by Rag-1/Rag-2 using surface plasmon resonance. The critical step for signal recognition is binding of Rag-1 to the nonamer. This is achieved by a region of Rag-1 homologous to the DNA-binding domain of the Hin family of bacterial invertases and to homeodomain proteins. Strikingly, the Hin homeodomain can functionally substitute for the Rag-1 homologous region. Rag-1 also interacts with the heptamer but with low affinity. Rag-2 shows no direct binding to DNA. Once the Rag-1/Rag-2 complex is engaged on the DNA, subsequent cleavage is directed by the heptamer sequence. This order of events remarkably parallels mechanisms that mediate transposition in bacteria and nematodes.

The RAG1 core is split into separate exons at the amino acid position corresponding to position 460 in the human RAG1 gene.
“As a result, the RAG1 core is split into separate exons at the aa position that corresponds to position 460 in the human RAG1gene [29,34,38].”

In teleosts, the RAG1 gene is divided into exons by either one or two introns.
“This is consistent with the observation that in teleosts, (bony fish) the RAG1 gene is divided into exons by either one or two introns.”

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.
