Deskripsi
Activation-induced deaminase (AID) is important for inducing desirable mutations at the B cell receptor genes for effective antibody responses. Here the authors show that three key arginine residues of AID link AID-chromatin association with transcription elongation to license AID for specific mutagenesis in B cells.
