Many RTKs and cytokine receptors specifically activate the γ isoform (PLCγ), which contains an SH2 domain.

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

Threonine residue T490 on RAG2 is phosphorylated during the S, G2, and M phases of the cell cycle, and this phosphorylation triggers the destruction of RAG2.

RAG1 is the predominant recombinase; it forms a complex with the RSS that is stabilized by the binding of RAG2. RAG2 by itself does not exhibit detectable RSS binding activity

RAG1 subunit and contains two aspartic acid residues and one glutamic acid residue (D600, D708, and E962, respectively). This active site “DDE motif” is found in many enzymes that cleave DNA
