Non-homologous end joining in class switch recombination: the beginning of the end Kotnis A; Du L; Liu C; Popov SW; Pan-Hammarstrom QPhilos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci 2009[Mar]; 364 (1517): 653-65Immunoglobulin class switch recombination (CSR) is initiated by a B-cell-specific factor, activation-induced deaminase, probably through deamination of deoxycytidine residues within the switch (S) regions. The initial lesions in the S regions are subsequently processed, resulting in the production of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). These breaks will then be recognized, edited and repaired, finally leading to the recombination of the two S regions. Two major repair pathways have been implicated in CSR, the predominant non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and the alternative end-joining (A-EJ) pathways. The former requires not only components of the 'classical' NHEJ machinery, i.e. Ku70/Ku80, DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit, DNA ligase IV and XRCC4, but also a number of DNA-damage sensors or adaptors, such as ataxia-telangiectasia mutated, gammaH2AX, 53BP1, MDC1, the Mre11-Rad50-NBS1 complex and the ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related protein (ATR). The latter pathway is not well characterized yet and probably requires microhomologies. In this review, we will focus on the current knowledge of the predominant NHEJ pathway in CSR and will also give a perspective on the A-EJ pathway.|Adaptor Proteins, Signal Transducing[MESH]|Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated Proteins[MESH]|Base Sequence[MESH]|Cell Cycle Proteins/genetics/metabolism[MESH]|Cytidine Deaminase/metabolism[MESH]|DNA Repair/genetics/*immunology[MESH]|DNA-Binding Proteins/genetics/metabolism[MESH]|Histones/metabolism[MESH]|Immunoglobulin Class Switching/genetics/*immunology[MESH]|Immunoglobulin Switch Region/immunology[MESH]|Intracellular Signaling Peptides and Proteins/metabolism[MESH]|MRE11 Homologue Protein[MESH]|Models, Genetic[MESH]|Molecular Sequence Data[MESH]|Nuclear Proteins/metabolism[MESH]|Phosphorylation[MESH]|Protein Serine-Threonine Kinases/genetics/metabolism[MESH]|Signal Transduction/*immunology[MESH]|Trans-Activators/metabolism[MESH]|Tumor Suppressor Proteins/genetics/metabolism[MESH]|Tumor Suppressor p53-Binding Protein 1[MESH] |
