Abstract excerpt
Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) initiates somatic hypermutation and class switch recombination in B cells by deaminating C --> U on transcribed DNA. Here we analyze the role of phosphorylation and phosphorylation-null mutants on the biochemical behavior of AID, including enzyme specific activity, processivity, deamination spectra, deamination motif specificity, and transcription-dependent deamination...
