- W2890634796 abstract "The lymphoid tissues consist of distinct cell subpopulations of B and T cell lineages and possess complex signaling pathways that are controlled by a myriad of molecular interactions. During the fine-tuned developmental process of the lymphoid system, inappropriate activation of oncogenes and loss of tumor suppressor gene activity can push lymphocytes into uncontrolled clonal expansion, causing several lymphoid malignancies. V(D)J recombination is one such essential process, important for the proper development of the mammalian immune system. However, mistakes in normal V(D)J recombination can lead to deletion of tumor suppressor genes or activation of proto-oncogenes. In the first part of the study, the physiological and pathological roles of DNA binding domain of RAG1 have been characterized.RAG (Recombination Activating Gene) complex consisting of RAG1 and RAG2, is a site specific endonuclease responsible for the generation of antigen receptor diversity. It cleaves a specific DNA sequence termed as recombination signal sequence (RSS), comprising of a conserved heptamer and nonamer. Recent studies have shown that RAGs can also act as a structure-specific nuclease by cleaving flaps, heterologous loops, bubbles, hairpins etc. Nonamer binding domain (NBD) of RAG1 plays a central role in the recognition of RSS during its sequence specific activity. To investigate its DNA binding properties, NBD of murine RAG1 was cloned, overexpressed and purified from E. coli. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays showed that NBD binds with high affinity to nonamer in the context of 12/23 RSS. However, it did not bind to heteroduplex DNA, irrespective of the sequence of the single-stranded region. Interestingly, when a nonamer was present next to a heteroduplex DNA, NBD exhibited robust binding. NBD binding was specific to thymines when single stranded DNA containing poly A, C, G and T were used. Biolayer interferometry studies showed that the observed poly T binding to NBD was robust with a binding constant of 0.45±0.16 µM. >23 nt was essential for NBD binding at homothymidine stretches. On a double-stranded DNA, NBD could bind to A:T stretches, but not G:C stretches or random sequences. Although NBD is indispensable for sequence-specific activity of RAGs, external supplementation of purified nonamer binding domain to NBD deleted cRAG1/cRAG2 did not restore the sequence specific activity, suggesting that the overall domain architecture of RAG1 is important for maintaining its properties. Therefore, we define the sequence requirements of NBD binding to double- and single-stranded DNA, which will have implications in generation of chromosomal rearrangement and genomic instability in lymphoid cells. Genetic alterations are one of the hallmarks of lymphoid malignancies. Many genes involved in chromosomal abnormalities are known to play central roles in the development of normal lymphocytes. In the second part of the study, molecular mechanism associated with fragility of the transcription factor, B cell leukemia 11B (BCL11B) that…" @default.
