Abstract excerpt
Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) protein initiates Ig gene mutation by deaminating cytosines, converting them into uracils. Excision of AID-induced uracils by uracil-N-glycosylase is responsible for most transversion mutations at G:C base pairs. On the other hand, processing of AID-ind...
