Zebrafish AID is capable of deaminating methylated deoxycytidines
Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) deaminates deoxycytidine (dC) to deoxyuracil (dU) at immunoglobulin loci in B lymphocytes to mediate secondary antibody diversification. Recently, AID has been proposed to also mediate epigenetic reprogramming by demethylating methylated cytidines (mC) possibly through deamination. AID overexpression in zebrafish embryos was shown to promote genome de...
متن کاملAID Mediates Hypermutation by Deaminating Single Stranded DNA
Activation-induced deaminase (AID) is a protein indispensable for the diversification of immunoglobulin (Ig) genes by somatic hypermutation (SHM), class switch recombination (CSR), and gene conversion. To date, the precise role of AID in these processes has not been determined. Here we demonstrate that purified, tetrameric AID can deaminate cytidine residues in DNA, but not in RNA. Furthermore,...
متن کاملIdentification of progenitors capable of kidney regeneration in zebrafish
Unlike adult mammals, which can repair but not regenerate new nephrons, fish generate nephrons de novo throughout life and after kidney injury. To explore mechanisms of kidney regeneration that could one day be applied to treat renal disease in humans, Diep et al. used the zebrafish as a model to identify and characterise progenitor cells responsible for nephron regeneration. Using transplantat...
متن کاملA fuzzy based self-check capable computerized MCDM aid tool
Sonar is the ear and the eye of the submarine. The core of the sonar composes of the DSP processor, hardware, along with the software. Thus, solving the determination of the best DSP processor among the alternatives problem is an important one. Moreover, handling it requires incorporating both quantitative and qualitative factors into the process, which makes the problem a complex real-life mul...
متن کاملIs Aid Volatility Harmful?
This paper studies the causal e¤ect of aid volatility on the economic performance of developing countries in 2000-2009 period. We construct a time-varying measure of aid volatility using autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH). We control for the endogeneity of aid ows by using as instruments for aid volatility three characteristics of donor counitres: (i) their budget de cits ; (...
