All other gene segments between V and D segments are now deleted from the cell's genome. Primary transcript (unspliced RNA) is generated containing the VDJ region of the heavy chain and both the constant mu and delta chains (C μ and C δ). (i.e. the primary transcript contains the segments: V-D-J-C μ-C δ). The primary RNA is processed to add ...
Heavy chain contains similar gene segments such as VH, JH and CH, but also has another gene segment called D (diversity). Unlike the light chain multigene family, VDJ gene segments code for the variable region of the heavy chain. The rearrangement and reorganization of gene segments in this multigene family is more complex .
[1] [4] The RAG1/RAG2 complex then introduces a nick at the 5' end of the RSS heptamers adjacent to the coding regions on both the D and J segments, permanently removing the loop of intervening DNA and creating a double-stranded break that is repaired by VDJ recombinase enzymes. [1] [4] This process is repeated for the joining of V to DJ. [1]
Current studies have indicated that RAG-1 and RAG-2 must work in a synergistic manner to activate VDJ recombination. RAG-1 was shown to inefficiently induce recombination activity of the VDJ genes when isolated and transfected into fibroblast samples. When RAG-1 was cotransfected with RAG-2, recombination frequency increased by a 1000-fold. [3]
Three can be found on the Light-chain, named L1 through L3, and three on the Heavy-chain, named H1 through H3. [2] Since the antigen receptors are typically composed of two variable domains (on two different polypeptide chains, heavy and light chain ), there are six CDRs for each antigen receptor that can collectively come into contact with the ...

The framework regions are highly conserved regions of the variable portion of the antibody. The evolutionary reason for the conservation of these regions is to support proper folding of the antibody allowing the CDR regions to be stabilized. Folding in FR leads to antibody structure flexibility or rigidity of the binding region of the antibody ...
Ribbon diagrams, also known as Richardson diagrams, are 3D schematic representations of protein structure and are one of the most common methods of protein depiction used today. The ribbon depicts the general course and organization of the protein backbone in 3D and serves as a visual framework for hanging details of the entire atomic structure ...
