Targeting of AID to antibody variable (V) regions results in somatic hypermutation, whereas its recruitment to switch (S) regions leads to class-switch recombination. Yeap et al. find that the mechanism by which variable and switch regions recruit AID essentially is the same but that the two regions differ in the density of double-stranded DNA breaks that are generated. These lead to either poi...
Junctions at class switch recombination sites in the genome are characterized by a unique sequence feature. Nucleotide substitutions and small deletions are common on either of the two sides of the switch junction, but not on both together. We have previously reported an extrachromosomal substrate assay system for analyzing the recombination of class switch sequences. Here we have sequenced nin...
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...
53BP1 participates early in the DNA damage response and is involved in cell cycle checkpoint control. Moreover, the phenotype of mice and cells deficient in 53BP1 suggests a defect in DNA repair (Ward et al., 2003b). Therefore, we asked whether or not 53BP1 would be required for the efficient repair of DNA double strand breaks. Our data indicate that homologous recombination by gene conversion ...
Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by predisposition to hematopoietic malignancy, cell-cycle checkpoint defects, and ionizing radiation sensitivity. NBS is caused by a hypomorphic mutation of the NBS1 gene, encoding nibrin, which forms a protein complex with Mre11 and Rad50, both involved in DNA repair. Nibrin localizes to chromosomal sites of ...
To generate highly specific and adapted immune responses, B cells diversify their antibody repertoire through mechanisms involving the generation of programmed DNA damage. Somatic hypermutation (SHM) and class switch recombination (CSR) are initiated by the recruitment of activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) to immunoglobulin loci and by the subsequent generation of DNA lesions, which ar...
