Stereotyped patterns of somatic hypermutation in subsets of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia: implications for the role of antigen selection in leukemogenesis.
Somatic hypermutation (SHM) features in a series of 1967 immunoglobulin heavy chain gene (IGH) rearrangements obtained from patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) were examined and compared with IGH sequences from non-CLL B cells available in public databases. SHM analysis was performed for all 1290 CLL sequences in this cohort with less than 100% identity to germ line. At the cohort ...
متن کاملSignals sustaining human immunoglobulin V gene hypermutation in isolated germinal centre B cells.
Affinity maturation of antibody responses depends on somatic hypermutation of the immunoglobulin V genes. Hypermutation is initiated specifically in proliferating B cells in lymphoid germinal centres but the signals driving this process remain unknown. This study identifies signals that promote V gene mutation in human germinal centre (GC) B cells in vitro. Single GC B cells were cultured by li...
متن کاملAntigen-induced somatic diversification of rabbit IgH genes: gene conversion and point mutation.
During T cell-dependent immune responses in mouse and human, Ig genes diversify by somatic hypermutation within germinal centers. Rabbits, in addition to using somatic hypermutation to diversify their IgH genes, use a somatic gene conversion-like mechanism, which involves homologous recombination between upstream VH gene segments and the rearranged VDJ genes. Somatic gene conversion and somatic...
متن کاملEffects on Somatic Hypermutation: Intact Primary Mechanism Accompanied by Secondary Modifications
Somatic hypermutation of Ig genes is probably dependent on transcription of the target gene via a mutator factor associated with the RNA polymerase (Storb, U., E.L. Klotz, J. Hackett, Jr., K. Kage, G. Bozek, and T.E. Martin. 1998. J. Exp. Med. 188:689–698). It is also probable that some form of DNA repair is involved in the mutation process. It was shown that the nucleotide excision repair prot...
متن کاملStrand-biased defect in C/G transversions in hypermutating immunoglobulin genes in Rev1-deficient mice
Somatic hypermutation of Ig genes enables B cells of the germinal center to generate high-affinity immunoglobulin variants. Key intermediates in somatic hypermutation are deoxyuridine lesions, introduced by activation-induced cytidine deaminase. These lesions can be processed further to abasic sites by uracil DNA glycosylase. Mutagenic replication of deoxyuridine, or of its abasic derivative, b...
