V(D)J Recombination: Modulation of RAG1 and RAG2 Cleavage Activity on 12/23 Substrates by Whole Cell Extract and DNA-bending Proteins
Antigen receptor gene rearrangement is directed by DNA motifs consisting of a conserved heptamer and nonamer separated by a nonconserved spacer of either 12 or 23 base pairs (12 or 23 recombination signal sequences [RSS]). V(D)J recombination requires that the rearranging DNA segments be flanked by...
