APE1- and APE2-dependent DNA breaks in immunoglobulin class switch recombination
Antibody class switch recombination (CSR) occurs by an intrachromosomal deletion requiring generation of double-stranded breaks (DSBs) in switch-region DNA. The initial steps in DSB formation have been elucidated, involving cytosine deamination by activation-induced cytidine deaminase and generation of abasic sites by uracil DNA glycosylase. However, it is not known how abasic sites are convert...
متن کاملFixing 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 کاملThe roles of APE1, APE2, DNA polymerase beta and mismatch repair in creating S region DNA breaks during antibody class switch.
Immunoglobulin class switch recombination (CSR) occurs by an intrachromosomal deletion requiring generation of double-stranded DNA breaks (DSBs) in immunoglobulin switch region DNA. The initial steps of DSB formation have been elucidated: cytosine deamination by activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) and the generation of abasic sites by uracil-DNA glycosylase (UNG). We show that abasic si...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin class-switch recombination deficiencies
Immunoglobulin class-switch recombination deficiencies (Ig-CSR-Ds) are rare primary immunodeficiencies characterized by defective switched isotype (IgG/IgA/IgE) production. Depending on the molecular defect in question, the Ig-CSR-D may be combined with an impairment in somatic hypermutation (SHM). Some of the mechanisms underlying Ig-CSR and SHM have been described by studying natural mutants ...
متن کاملonychomadesis in a patient with immunoglobulin class switch recombination deficiency
immunoglobulin class switch recombination deficiencies (ig csr deficiencies) or hyper igm syndromes (higm) are a group of primary immunodeficiency diseases, characterized by defective cd40 signaling of b cells resulting into a csr and a somatic hypermutation. the affected patients are characterized with reduced serum levels of igg and iga, and normal or elevated level of igm, which lead to incr...
