Abstract excerpt
Mammalian uracil DNA glycosylase (UNG) removes uracils and initiates high-fidelity base excision repair to maintain genomic stability. During B cell development, activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) generates uracils in DNA, which UNG processes in an error-prone fashion to accomplish immunoglobulin (Ig) somatic hypermutation or class switch recombination (CSR). The mechanism that governs high-fidelity...
