Site-specific recombination of immunoglobulin and T cell receptor gene segments in B and T lymphocytes is dependent on the expression of two recombinant activation genes, Rag-1 and Rag-2. Here, we show that RAG-1 protein turnover in pre-B cells depends on the expression of RAG-2. The apparent half-life of RAG-1 protein is increased when RAG-2 is not expressed in differentiating pre-B cells.
B淋巴细胞和T淋巴细胞中免疫球蛋白和T细胞受体基因片段的位点特异性重组依赖于两个重组激活基因Rag-1和Rag-2的表达。在此,我们表明前B细胞中RAG-1蛋白的周转依赖于RAG-2的表达。当RAG-2在分化的前B细胞中不表达时,RAG-1蛋白的表观半衰期会延长。
