Balancing AID and DNA repair during somatic hypermutation.

Trends in immunology - 1 Apr 2009

Liu Man, Schatz David G

Abstract excerpt

Somatic hypermutation (SHM) of Ig genes in B cells is crucial for antibody affinity maturation. The reaction is initiated by cytosine deamination of Ig loci by activation induced deaminase (AID) and is completed by error-prone DNA repair enzyme processing of AID-generated uracils. The mechanisms that target SHM specifically to Ig loci are poorly understood. Recently, it has been demonstrated that although AID...
