53BP1 is required for class switch recombination
53BP1 participates early in the DNA damage response and is involved in cell cycle checkpoint control. Moreover, the phenotype of mice and cells deficient in 53BP1 suggests a defect in DNA repair (Ward et al., 2003b). Therefore, we asked whether or not 53BP1 would be required for the efficient repair of DNA double strand breaks. Our data indicate that homologous recombination by gene conversion ...
متن کاملProcessing of Switch Transcripts Is Required for Targeting of Antibody Class Switch Recombination
Antibody class switching is mediated by somatic recombination between switch regions of the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene locus. Targeting of recombination to particular switch regions is strictly regulated by cytokines through the induction of switch transcripts starting 5' of the repetitive switch regions. However, switch transcription as such is not sufficient to target switch recombinatio...
متن کاملAPE1 is dispensable for S-region cleavage but required for its repair in class switch recombination.
Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) is essential for antibody diversification, namely somatic hypermutation (SHM) and class switch recombination (CSR). The deficiency of apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (Ape1) in CH12F3-2A B cells reduces CSR to ∼20% of wild-type cells, whereas the effect of APE1 loss on SHM has not been examined. Here we show that, although APE1's endonuclease acti...
متن کاملHistone chaperone Spt6 is required for class switch recombination but not somatic hypermutation.
Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) is shown to be essential and sufficient to induce two genetic alterations in the Ig loci: class switch recombination (CSR) and somatic hypermutation (SHM). However, it is still unknown how a single-molecule AID differentially regulates CSR and SHM. Here we identified Spt6 as an AID-interacting protein by yeast two-hybrid screening and immunoprecipitat...
متن کاملATM Is Required for Efficient Recombination between Immunoglobulin Switch Regions
Ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) kinase is critical for initiating the signaling pathways that lead to cell cycle checkpoints and DNA double strand break repair. In the absence of ATM, humans and mice show a primary immunodeficiency that includes low serum antibody titers, but the role of ATM in antigen-driven immunoglobulin gene diversification has not been defined. Here, we show that altho...
