Extent to which hairpin opening by the Artemis:DNA-PKcs complex can contribute to junctional diversity in V(D)J recombination

V(D)J recombination events are initiated by cleavage at gene segments by the RAG1:RAG2 complex, which results in hairpin formation at the coding ends. The hairpins are opened by the Artemis:DNA-PKcs complex, and then joined via the nonhomologous DNA end joining (NHEJ) process. Here we examine the op...
