After immunization or infection, activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) initiates diversification of immunoglobulin (Ig) genes in B cells, introducing mutations within the antigen binding V regions (somatic hypermutation, SHM) and double-strand DNA breaks (DSBs) into switch (S) regions, leading...

Activation induced cytidine deaminase (AID) initiates antibody gene diversification by creating U:G mismatches. However, AID is not specific for antibody genes. Off-target lesions can activate oncogenes or cause chromosome translocations. Despite its importance in these key transactions little is kn...

The Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) encoding the oncogenic BCR-ABL1 kinase defines a subset of ALL with a particularly unfavorable prognosis. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells are derived from B cell precursors in most cases and typically carry rearranged immunglobulin heavy chain (IGH) variable...

Precisely how AID is recruited to these off-target sites is not entirely understood. To gain further insight into how AID selects its targets we compared AID-mediated translocations in two different cell types, B cells and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). AID targets a distinct set of hotspots in...

Interventions: Blood samples(10 points) are collected after the first administration of capecitabine for pharmacokinetic analysis and cytidine deaminase activity measurement. Primary outcome(s): To evaluate the correlation AUC of 5-DFUR/AUC of 5-DFCR ratio and cytidine deaminase activity. Study Desi...
APOBEC Cytidine Deaminase Mutagenesis Pattern is Widespread in Human Cancers
We created a mutator protein. The mutator, was prepared by fusing a PmCDA1 (Petromyzon marinus Cytidine DeAminase) and E.coli RNA polymerase alpha subunit(EcoRNAP alpha). After 120 cycles, whole genome sequencing was performed on the wild type and evolved sample. After characterization of the mutati...

Base editing with a Cpf1–cytidine deaminase fusion
Deoxycytidine analogues (dC) are chemotherapy agents used to treat a range of solid and blood cancers. However, their clinical efficacy is often limited by resistance mechanisms. Cytidine deaminase (CDA) plays a key role of this resistance by deaminating dC analogues into inactive metabolites. Altho...
