TET3 dioxygenase modulates gene conversion at the avian immunoglobulin variable region via demethylation of non‐CpG sites in pseudogene templates
15 Jan 2021
Abstract excerpt
Diversification of the avian primary immunoglobulin (Ig) repertoire is achieved in developing B cells by somatic hypermutation (SHM) and gene conversion (GCV). GCV is a type of homologous recombination that unidirectionally transfers segments of Ig pseudogenes to Ig variable domains. It is regulated by epigenetic mechanisms like histone modifications, but the role of DNA methylation remains unclear. Here, we...
