The Double-Edged Sword of Activation-Induced Cytidine Deaminase
1 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) is required for Ig class switch recombination, a process that introduces DNA double-strand breaks in B cells. We show in this study that AID associates with the DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) promoting cell survival, presumably by resolving DNA double-strand breaks. Wild-type cells expressing AID mutants that fail to associate with DNA-PKcs or...
