Abstract excerpt
Activation induced cytidine deaminase (AID) plays a key role in the induction of somatic hypermutation and class switching in the immunoglobulin genes of B-lymphocytes. AID expression by itself is sufficient to induce a GC-basepair biased mutator phenotype in lymphoid and non-lymphoid cell lines. Nevertheless a network of cis-regulatory elements and additional trans-factor proteins seems to govern the molecular...
