摘要
活化诱导胞苷脱氨酶（AID）通过将碱基置换引入抗体基因启动体细胞超突变（SHM），这一过程使免疫反应中的抗体亲和力成熟。如何驯服突变体，使其在生理过程中精确、安全地产生程序性DNA病变，目前仍是一个悬而未决的问题，因为突变体的失调会导致淋巴瘤的发生。最近的研究揭示了 AID 引发诱变的几个隐藏特征：在柔性 DNA 底物上的优先活性、染色质环状结构域内的受限活性、独特的 DNA 修复因子对 AID 引起的病变进行不同的解码，以及异常脱氨的各种后果。在这里，我们描绘了 AID 活性的多方面调控，重点是新出现的概念/因素，并讨论了它们对设计碱基编辑器（BE）的影响，碱基编辑器可以安装体细胞突变来纠正有害的基因组变异。
Taming AID mutator activity in somatic hypermutation
Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) initiates somatic hypermutation (SHM) by introducing base substitutions into antibody genes, a process enabling antibody affinity maturation in immune response. How a mutator is tamed to precisely and safely generate programmed DNA lesions in a physiological process remains unsettled, as its dysregulation drives lymphomagenesis. Recent research has revealed several hidden features of AID-initiated mutagenesis: preferential activity on flexible DNA substrates, restrained activity within chromatin loop domains, unique DNA repair factors to differentially decode AID-caused lesions, and diverse consequences of aberrant deamination. Here, we depict the multifaceted regulation of AID activity with a focus on emerging concepts/factors and discuss their implications for the design of base editors (BEs) that install somatic mutations to correct deleterious genomic variants.
