RAG1 and RAG2 form a tetramer nuclease to initiate V(D)J recombination in developing T and B lymphocytes. The RAG1 protein evolves from a transposon ancestor and possesses nuclease activity that requires interaction with RAG2. Here, we show that the human RAG1 aggregates in the nucleus in the absence of RAG2, exhibiting an extremely low V(D)J recombination activity. In contrast, RAG2 does not aggregate by itself, but it interacts with RAG1 to disrupt RAG1 aggregates and thereby activate robust V(D)J recombination. Moreove
