Somatic Hypermutation and Class Switch Recombination in Msh6−/−Ung−/− Double-Knockout Mice
1 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
Somatic hypermutation (SHM) and class switch recombination (CSR) are initiated by activation-induced cytosine deaminase (AID). The uracil, and potentially neighboring bases, are processed by error-prone base excision repair and mismatch repair. Deficiencies in Ung, Msh2, or Msh6 affect SHM and CSR. To determine whether Msh2/Msh6 complexes which recognize single-base mismatches and loops were the only...
