| Abstract | The RAG proteins are comprised of core endonuclease domains and noncore regions that modulate endonuclease activity. Mutation or deletion of noncore RAG regions in humans causes immunodeficiency and altered TCR repertoire, and mice expressing core but not full-length Rag1 (Rag1(C/C)) or Rag2 (Rag2(C/C)) exhibit lymphopenia, reflecting impaired V(D)J recombination and lymphocyte development. Rag1(C/C) mice display reduced D-to-J and V-to-DJ rearrangements of TCRß and IgH loci, whereas Rag2(C/C) mice show decreased V-to-DJ rearrangements and altered Vß/VH repertoire. Because Vßs/VHs only recombine to DJ complexes, the Rag1(C/C) phenotype could reflect roles for noncore RAG1 regions in promoting recombination during only the D-to-J step or during both steps. In this study, we demonstrate that a preassembled TCRß gene, but not a preassembled DßJß complex or the prosurvival BCL2 protein, completely rescues ß T cell development in Rag1(C/C) mice. We find that Rag1(C/C) mice exhibit altered Vß utilization in Vß-to-DJß rearrangements, increased usage of 3'J gene segments in V -to-J rearrangements, and abnormal changes in Vß repertoire during ß TCR selection. Inefficient Vß/VH recombination signal sequences (RSSs) have been hypothesized to cause impaired V-to-DJ recombination on the background of a defective recombinase as in core-Rag mice. We show that replacement of the Vß14 RSS with a more efficient RSS increases Vß14 recombination and rescues ß T cell development in Rag1(C/C) mice. Our data indicate that noncore RAG1 regions establish a diverse TCR repertoire by overcoming Vß RSS inefficiency to promote Vß recombination and ß T cell development, and by modulating TCRß and TCR gene segment utilization. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
