Immunoprecipitation - Anti-RAG2 antibody [EPR24314-42] (BSA and Azide free) (AB300418)

This data was developed using ab300406, the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation.

RAG2 was immunoprecipitated from 0.35 mg Mouse thymus tissue lysate 20 ug with ab300406 at 1/30 dilution (2ug in 0.35mg lysates). Western blot was performed on the immunoprecipitate using ab300406 at 1/1000 dilution. VeriBlot for IP secondary antibody(HRP)(ab131366) was used at 1/5000 dilution.

Lane 2 : ab300406 at 1/30 IP in Mouse thymus tissue lysate

Lane 3 : Rabbit monoclonal IgG (ab172730) instead of ab300406 in mouse thymus tissue lysate

Blocking and dilution buffer and concentration : 5% NFDM/TBST.

This blot was developed using a high sensitivity ECL substrate. The high-sensitivity ECL substrate used allows for the detection of proteins in the mid-femtogram range.

RAG2 also known as Recombination Activating Gene 2 plays an important role in the mechanism of V(D)J recombination aiding in the assembly of T-cell receptors and immunoglobulins. It acts together with RAG1 as a heterodimer complex. RAG2 lacks enzymatic activity but assists in this complex by binding to RAG1 facilitating recombinase activity. The molecular weight of RAG2 is around 56 kDa and it is mainly expressed in developing lymphocytes within the thymus and bone marrow.
Biological function summary

RAG2 contributes to lymphocyte development by enabling the production of diverse antigen receptor repertoires. It acts as a non-catalytic partner with RAG1 forming a complex necessary for the cleavage of DNA at specific recombination signal sequences. This complexity is fundamental in generating the variability of antibodies and T-cell receptors. RAG2 alters the chromatin structure enhancing accessibility to the recombination substrates and ensuring efficient gene rearrangement.

Pathways

RAG2 is essential in the adaptive immune response being vital to V(D)J recombination in lymphocyte development. It operates extensively in the antigen receptor gene assembly pathway influencing B cell development and T cell maturation. Throughout these processes RAG2 works closely with proteins like RAG1 where both are co-dependent for functional recombinase activity essential for immune system adaptability.

Mutations or malfunctions in RAG2 can lead to immunodeficiency syndromes such as severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) and Omenn syndrome. These disorders often stem from defective or inefficient V(D)J recombination causing improper immune cell function. RAG2's relationship with RAG1 is critical as defects in this complex impair lymphocyte development leading to reduced immune response capability aligned with these diseases.

Target data

Core component of the RAG complex, a multiprotein complex that mediates the DNA cleavage phase during V(D)J recombination. V(D)J recombination assembles a diverse repertoire of immunoglobulin and T-cell receptor genes in developing B and T-lymphocytes through rearrangement of different V (variable), in some cases D (diversity), and J (joining) gene segments. DNA cleavage by the RAG complex occurs in 2 steps : a first nick is introduced in the top strand immediately upstream of the heptamer, generating a 3'-hydroxyl group that can attack the phosphodiester bond on the opposite strand in a direct transesterification reaction, thereby creating 4 DNA ends : 2 hairpin coding ends and 2 blunt, 5'-phosphorylated ends. The chromatin structure plays an essential role in the V(D)J recombination reactions and the presence of histone H3 trimethylated at 'Lys-4' (H3K4me3) stimulates both the nicking and haipinning steps. The RAG complex also plays a role in pre-B cell allelic exclusion, a process leading to expression of a single immunoglobulin heavy chain allele to enforce clonality and monospecific recognition by the B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) expressed on individual B-lymphocytes. The introduction of DNA breaks by the RAG complex on one immunoglobulin allele induces ATM-dependent repositioning of the other allele to pericentromeric heterochromatin, preventing accessibility to the RAG complex and recombination of the second allele. In the RAG complex, RAG2 is not the catalytic component but is required for all known catalytic activities mediated by RAG1. It probably acts as a sensor of chromatin state that recruits the RAG complex to H3K4me3.
