The assembly of functional immune receptor genes via V(D)J recombination in developing lymphocytes generates DNA double-stranded breaks intermediates that are repaired by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). This repair pathway requires the sequential recruitment and activation onto coding and signal DNA ends of several proteins, including the DNA-dependent protein kinase and the nuclease Artemis. Artemis activity, triggered by the DNA-dependent protein kinase, is necessary to process the genes… CONTINUE READING
