Somatic hypermutation and class switch recombination in Msh6(-/-)Ung(-/-) double-knockout mice.
Somatic hypermutation (SHM) and class switch recombination (CSR) are initiated by activation-induced cytosine deaminase (AID). The uracil, and potentially neighboring bases, are processed by error-prone base excision repair and mismatch repair. Deficiencies in Ung, Msh2, or Msh6 affect SHM and CSR. To determine whether Msh2/Msh6 complexes which recognize single-base mismatches and loops were th...
متن کاملThe C Terminus of Activation Induced Cytidine Deaminase (AID) Recruits Proteins Important for Class Switch Recombination to the IG Locus: A Dissertation
Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) is a key protein required for both class switch recombination (CSR) and somatic hypermutation (SHM) of antibody genes. AID is induced in B cells during an immune response. Lack of AID or mutant form of AID causes immunodeficiency; e.g., various mutations in the C terminus of AID causes hyper IgM (HIGM2) syndrome in humans. The C terminal 10 amino acid...
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 کاملGli proteins encode context-dependent positive and negative functions: implications for development and disease.
Several lines of evidence implicate zinc finger proteins of the Gli family in the final steps of Hedgehog signaling in normal development and disease. C-terminally truncated mutant GLI3 proteins are also associated with human syndromes, but it is not clear whether these C-terminally truncated Gli proteins fulfil the same function as full-length ones. Here, structure-function analyses of Gli pro...
متن کاملEpigenetic Function of Activation-Induced Cytidine Deaminase and Its Link to Lymphomagenesis
Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) is essential for somatic hypermutation and class switch recombination of immunoglobulin (Ig) genes during B cell maturation and immune response. Expression of AID is tightly regulated due to its mutagenic and recombinogenic potential, which is known to target not only Ig genes, but also non-Ig genes, contributing to lymphomagenesis. In recent years, a...
