Simplified overview of the enzymatic steps and the role of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase in lymphocyte gene rearrangement. The variability of the recombined gene segments is increased through the random addition of non-templated (N) nucleotides catalyzed by the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase prior to complementary pairing and extension by template-dependent DNA polymerases.
