ATM influences the efficiency of TCRβ rearrangement, subsequent TCRβ-dependent T cell development, and generation of the pre-selection TCRβ CDR3 repertoire.

Generation and resolution of DNA double-strand breaks is required to assemble antigen-specific receptors from the genes encoding V, D, and J gene segments during recombination. The present report investigates the requirement for ataxia telangiectasia-mutated (ATM) kinase, a component of DNA double-s...
