Question

Which of the following is not a component of V(D)J recombinase?

a. Artemis
b. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase
c. RAG-1/RAG-2
d. DNA ligase IV
e. DNA-dependent protein kinase and associated Ku protein

Answer 1

The correct answer is e. DNA-dependent protein kinase and associated Ku protein.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is e. DNA-dependent protein kinase and associated Ku protein.

V(D)J recombinase is responsible for recombining the Variable (V), Joining (J), and Diversity (D) DNA regions in the immunoglobulin genes to create diverse antibodies. The components of V(D)J recombinase include Artemis, Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT), RAG-1/RAG-2, and DNA ligase IV. DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) and the associated Ku protein are not part of V(D)J recombinase.
