Abstract excerpt
AID (activation-induced cytidine deaminase) catalyzes transcription-dependent deamination of C --> U in immunoglobulin variable (IgV) regions to initiate somatic hypermutation (SHM) in germinal center B-cells. SHM is essential in generating high affinity antibodies. Here we show that when coexpressed with GANP (germinal center-associated nuclear protein) in COS-7 cells, AID is transported from the cytoplasm and...
