The evolutionary conservation of non-core RAG regions suggests significant roles that might involve quantitative or qualitative alterations in RAG activity. Off-target V(D)J recombination contributes to lymphomagenesis and is exacerbated by RAG2' C-terminus absence in Tp53-/- mice thymic lymphomas. However, the genomic stability effects of non-core regions from both Rag1c/c and Rag2c/c in BCR-ABL1+ B-lymphoblastic leukemia (BCR-ABL1+ B-ALL), the characteristics, and mechanisms of non-core regions in suppressing off-target V(D)J recombination remain unclear. Here, we established three mouse models of BCR-ABL1+ B-ALL in mice expressing full-length RAG (Ragf/f), core RAG1 (Rag1c/c), and core RAG2 (Rag2c/c). The Ragc/c (Rag1c/c and Rag2c/c) leukemia cells exhibited greater malignant tumor characteristics compared to Ragf/f cells. Additionally, Ragc/c cells showed higher frequency of off-target V(D)J recombination and oncogenic mutations than Ragf/f. We also revealed decreased RAG cleavage accuracy in Ragc/c cells and a smaller recombinant size in Rag1c/c cells, which could potentially exacerbate off-target V(D)J recombination in Ragc/c cells. In conclusion, these findings indicate that the non-core RAG regions, particularly the non-core region of RAG1, play a significant role in preserving V(D)J recombination precision and genomic stability in BCR-ABL1+ B-ALL.
