The evidence that ATM affects resolution of RAG-induced DNA double-strand breaks is profuse and unequivocal; moreover, it is clear that the RAG complex itself cooperates (in an undetermined way) with ATM to facilitate repair of these double-strand breaks by the classical nonhomologous end-joining pathway. The mechanistic basis for the cooperation between ATM and the RAG complex has not been defined, although proposed models invoke ATM and RAG2's C terminus in maintaining the RAG postcleavage complex. In this study, we show that ATM reduces the rate of both coding and signal joining in a robust episomal assay; we suggest that this is the result of increased stability of the postcleavage complex. ATM's ability to inhibit VDJ joining requires its enzymatic activity. The noncore C termini of both RAG1 and RAG2 are also required for ATM's capacity to limit signal (but not coding) joining. Moreover, potential phosphorylation targets within the C terminus of RAG2 are also required for ATM's capacity to limit signal joining. These data suggest a model whereby the RAG signal end complex is stabilized by phosphorylation of RAG2 by ATM.
