Abstract excerpt
Activation-induced deaminase (AID) is essential for immunoglobulin gene diversification by the distinct processes of class switch recombination, somatic hypermutation and gene conversion. Most evidence indicates that AID triggers these reactions through the direct deamination of cytosine residues in the DNA. However, AID is predominantly cytoplasmic and the mechanism that directs it to the immunoglobulin loci...
