AID-dependent histone acetylation is detected in immunoglobulin S regions
Class switch recombination (CSR) is regulated by the expression of activation-induced deaminase (AID) and germline transcripts (GLTs). AID-dependent double-strand breaks (DSBs) are introduced into switch (S) regions and stimulate CSR. Although histone acetylation (Ac) has been well documented in transcription regulation, its role in DNA damage repair remains largely unexplored. The 1B4.B6 B cel...
متن کاملDemethylase activity is directed by histone acetylation.
Mammalian genomes are compartmentalized into dense inactive chromatin that is hypermethylated and active open chromatin that is hypomethylated. It is generally accepted that this bimodal pattern of methylation is established during development and is then faithfully inherited through subsequent cell divisions by a maintenance DNA methyltransferase (DNMT1). The pattern of methylation is believed...
متن کاملmicroRNA-dependent modulation of histone acetylation in Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia.
Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) cells present with increased expression of microRNA-206 (miRNA-206) and reduced expression of miRNA-9*. Predicted miRNA-206- and -9*-targeted genes include histone deacetylases (HDACs) and histone acetyl transferases (HATs), indicating that these miRNAs may play a role in regulating histone acetylation. We were able to demonstrate that primary WM cells are cha...
متن کاملHistone Acetylation in Conjugating
We have monitored histone acetylation during conjugation of the ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena thermophila using antibodies against the tetraacetylated form of H4 histone (Pfeffer, U., N. Ferrari, and G. Vidali. 1986. J. Biol. Chem. 261:2496-2498). During meiosis, the three prezygotic divisions, fertilization, and the first postzygotic division, micronuclei, do not contain highly acetylated for...
متن کاملInducible DNA breaks in Ig S regions are dependent on AID and UNG
Class switch recombination (CSR) occurs by an intrachromosomal deletion whereby the IgM constant region gene (Cmu) is replaced by a downstream constant region gene. This unique recombination event involves formation of double-strand breaks (DSBs) in immunoglobulin switch (S) regions, and requires activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID), which converts cytosines to uracils. Repair of the ura...
