摘要
The limitations of genomic information forced our ancestors to adopt a strategy for introducing somatic DNA alterations with the risk of genome instability. Although activation-induced deaminase ( AID) is involved in DNA cleavage in somatic hypermutation and class-switch recombination, its mechanism of action has been debated extensively, with the two main hypotheses being distinguished by the chief target of AID: RNA or DNA. The principle distinction between the two hypotheses is the requirement for translation of edited mRNA or uracil removal from DNA for DNA cleavage. Although a series of experiments has provided support for the `RNA-editing' hypothesis and requires reevaluation of the `DNA-deamination' hypothesis, definitive proof is yet to come.
