Negative regulation of activation-induced cytidine deaminase in B cells.
Both class switch recombination (CSR) and somatic hypermutation (SHM) of the Ig genes require the activity of activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID). Expression of AID is restricted to B cells in the germinal centers of the lymphoid organs, where activated B cells undergo CSR and SHM. We previously showed that constitutive and systemic expression of AID leads to tumorigenesis in T cells an...
متن کاملActivation-induced cytidine deaminase mediates central tolerance in B cells.
The Aicda gene product, activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID), initiates somatic hypermutation, class-switch recombination, and gene conversion of Ig genes by the deamination of deoxycytidine, followed by error-prone mismatch- or base-excision DNA repair. These processes are crucial for the generation of genetically diverse, high affinity antibody and robust humoral immunity, but exact si...
متن کاملActivation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID)
Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) plays an essential role in the generation of a highly competent repertoire of antibodies by participating in class switch recombination (CSR) and somatic hypermutation (SHM). After B cell stimulation by antigens, AID initiates SHM and CSR by deamination of cytidine to uridine in the variable and constant regions of Ig genes. An adverse effect of AID’s...
متن کاملActivation-induced Cytidine Deaminase in B Cell Immunity and Cancers
Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) is an enzyme that is predominantly expressed in germinal center B cells and plays a pivotal role in immunoglobulin class switch recombination and somatic hypermutation for antibody (Ab) maturation. These two genetic processes endow Abs with protective functions against a multitude of antigens (pathogens) during humoral immune responses. In B cells, AI...
متن کاملRNA editing of hepatitis B virus transcripts by activation-induced cytidine deaminase.
Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) is essential for the somatic hypermutation (SHM) and class-switch recombination (CSR) of Ig genes. The mechanism by which AID triggers SHM and CSR has been explained by two distinct models. In the DNA deamination model, AID converts cytidine bases in DNA into uridine. The uridine is recognized by the DNA repair system, which produces DNA strand breaka...
