The CRL4VPRBP(DCAF1) E3 ubiquitin ligase directs constitutive RAG1 degradation in a non-lymphoid cell line.

The development of B and T lymphocytes critically depends on RAG1/2 endonuclease activity to mediate antigen receptor gene assembly by V(D)J recombination. Although control of RAG1/2 activity through cell cycle- and ubiquitin-dependent degradation of RAG2 has been studied in detail, relatively littl...
