Competitive repair pathways in immunoglobulin gene hypermutation

Description : This review focuses on the contribution of translesion DNA polymerases to immunoglobulin gene hypermutation, in particular on the roles of DNA polymerase eta (Polη) in the generation of mutations at A/T bases from the initial cytosine-targeted activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID)-mediated dea...

DNA polymerase η is the sole contributor of A/T modifications during immunoglobulin gene hypermutation in the mouse

Description : Mutations at A/T bases within immunoglobulin genes have been shown to be generated by a repair pathway involving the DNA-binding moiety of the mismatch repair complex constituted by the MSH2–MSH6 proteins, together with DNA polymerase η (pol η). However, residual A/T mutagenesis is still observed up...

Contribution of DNA polymerase η to immunoglobulin gene hypermutation in the mouse

Description : The mutation pattern of immunoglobulin genes was studied in mice deficient for DNA polymerase η, a translesional polymerase whose inactivation is responsible for the xeroderma pigmentosum variant (XP-V) syndrome in humans. Mutations show an 85% G/C biased pattern, similar to that reported for XP-V p...

Role of DNA polymerases eta, iota and zeta in UV resistance and UV-induced mutagenesis in a human cell line.

Description : Genes coding for DNA polymerases eta, iota and zeta, or for both Pol eta and Pol iota have been inactivated by homologous recombination in the Burkitt's lymphoma BL2 cell line, thus providing for the first time the total suppression of these enzymes in a human context. The UV sensitivities and UV-in...

Proteasomal degradation restricts the nuclear lifespan of AID

Description : Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) initiates all postrearrangement processes that diversify the immunoglobulin repertoire by specific deamination of cytidines at the immunoglobulin (Ig) locus. As uncontrolled expression of AID is potentially mutagenic, different types of regulation, particu...

Two novel human and mouse DNA polymerases of the polX family

Description : We describe here two novel mouse and human DNA polymerases: one (pol λ) has homology with DNA polymerase β while the other one (pol µ) is closer to terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase. However both have DNA polymerase activity in vitro and share similar structural organization, including a BRCT dom...

DNA Polymerase η Is Involved in Hypermutation Occurring during Immunoglobulin Class Switch Recombination

Description : Base substitutions, deletions, and duplications are observed at the immunoglobulin locus in DNA sequences involved in class switch recombination (CSR). These mutations are dependent upon activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) and present all the characteristics of the ones observed during V gen...
