Fixing DNA breaks during class switch recombination
Immunoglobulin (Ig) class switch recombination (CSR) involves the breakage and subsequent repair of two DNA sequences, known as switch (S) regions, which flank IgH constant region exons. The resolution of CSR-associated breaks is thought to require the nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) DNA repair pathway, but the role of the NHEJ factor DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) i...
متن کاملAID from bony fish catalyzes class switch recombination
Class switch recombination was the last of the lymphocyte-specific DNA modification reactions to appear in the evolution of the adaptive immune system. It is absent in cartilaginous and bony fish, and it is common to all tetrapods. Class switching is initiated by activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID), an enzyme expressed in cartilaginous and bony fish that is also required for somatic hyp...
متن کاملSingle-strand DNA breaks in Ig class switch recombination that depend on UNG but not AID.
B lymphocytes switch from secreting IgM to secreting IgG, IgA or IgE through a DNA recombination, class switch recombination (CSR), whose mechanism is incompletely understood. CSR is thought to be triggered by activation-induced deaminase (AID), which is believed to deaminate cytosines to uracil in single-strand regions of switch region DNA. Subsequent excision of uracils by uracil DNA glycosyl...
متن کاملAID-induced decrease in topoisomerase 1 induces DNA structural alteration and DNA cleavage for class switch recombination.
To initiate class switch recombination (CSR) activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) induces staggered nick cleavage in the S region, which lies 5' to each Ig constant region gene and is rich in palindromic sequences. Topoisomerase 1 (Top1) controls the supercoiling of DNA by nicking, rotating, and religating one strand of DNA. Curiously, Top1 reduction or AID overexpression causes the geno...
متن کاملHistone methyltransferase MMSET promotes AID-mediated DNA breaks at the donor switch region during class switch recombination.
In B cells, Ig class switch recombination (CSR) is initiated by activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID), the activity of which leads to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) within IgH switch (S) regions. Preferential targeting of AID-mediated DSBs to S sequences is critical for allowing diversification of antibody functions, while minimizing potential off-target oncogenic events. Here, we used g...
