pubmed:abstractText |
Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) is the essential and sole B cell-specific factor required for class-switch recombination (CSR) and somatic hypermutation (SHM). However, it is not known how AID differentially regulates these two independent events. Involvement of several cofactors interacting with AID has been indicated by scattered distribution of loss-of-function point mutations and evolutionary conservation of the entire 198-amino-acid protein. Here, we report that human AID mutant proteins with insertions, replacements or truncations in the C-terminal region retained strong SHM activity but almost completely lost CSR activity. These results indicate that AID requires interaction with a cofactor(s) specific to CSR.
