Abstract excerpt
Most members of the AID/APOBEC family of polynucleotide deaminases can catalyse the deamination of cytosine to uracil in DNA. They thereby function as active DNA mutators. Here, we describe how bacterial papillation assays can be adapted to monitor the mutator activity of AID/APOBEC proteins and show how such papillation assays can be used as a high-throughput screen to identify AID variants with increased...
