Activation-induced cytidine deaminase: in sickness and in health. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Cancer Res Clin Oncol, 2020
Activation Induced cytidine Deaminase (AID) is an essential enzyme of the adaptive immune system. Its canonical activity is restricted to B lymphocytes, playing an essential role in the diversification of antibodies by enhancing specificity and changing affinity. This is possible through its DNA deaminase function, leading to mutations in DNA.

Epigenetic targeting of activation-induced cytidine deaminase. [PDF]

open access: yesProc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2014
Significance Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) is a DNA modifying enzyme crucial for the generation of efficacious antibodies. AID also promiscuously introduces DNA lesions at cancer genes, leading to their chromosome translocation and lymphoma. However, how AID is recruited to these off targets is not well understood.

Activation induced cytidine deaminase expression in lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma [PDF]

open access: bronzeJournal of Clinical Pathology, 2005
Background: The lymphocytic and histiocytic (L&H) cells of lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) originate from germinal centre B cells and carry mutated V gene rearrangements, usually with intraclonal diversity. It is unclear whether intraclonal V gene diversification by somatic hypermutation, which is strictly dependent ...

LINE-1 retroelements complexed and inhibited by activation induced cytidine deaminase. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
LINE-1 (abbreviated L1) is a major class of retroelements in humans and mice. If unrestricted, retroelements accumulate in the cytoplasm and insert their DNA into the host genome, with the potential to cause autoimmune disease and cancer.

Multiple gene substitution by Target-AID base-editing technology in tomato

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
The use of Target activation-induced cytidine deaminase (Target-AID) base-editing technology with the CRISPR-Cas 9 system fused with activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) resulted in the substitution of a cytidine with a thymine.

AIDmut-Seq: a Three-Step Method for Detecting Protein-DNA Binding Specificity

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2023
Transcriptional factors (TFs) and their regulons make up the gene regulatory networks. Here, we developed a method based on TF-directed activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) mutagenesis in combination with genome sequencing, called AIDmut-Seq, to ...
