Differential expression of APE1 and APE2 in germinal centers promotes error-prone repair and A:T mutations during somatic hypermutation

Abstract: Somatic hypermutation (SHM) of antibody variable region genes is initiated in germinal center B cells during an immune response by activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID), which converts cytosines to uracils. During accurate repair in nonmutating cells, uracil is excised by uracil DNA glycosylase (UNG), leaving abasic sites that are incised by AP endonuclease (APE) to create single-strand breaks, and the correct nucleotide is reinserted by DNA polymerase β. During SHM, for unknown reasons, repair is error … Show more

“…In mammalian cells, APE2 is also necessary for normal B-cell development and recovery from chemotherapy drug-induced DNA damage (29). It was recently proposed that differential expression of APE2 in germinal centers promotes error-prone repair and mutations during somatic hypermutation (30). Importantly, APE2 is a key player in the PCNA-dependent repair of hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative DNA damage (31)(32)(33).…”

“…Both SHM and class switch recombination are initiated by activationinduced deaminase (AID) that preferentially deaminates the dC residues in WRC (W = A/T, R = A/G) hotspot motifs at frequencies 2-10-fold higher than SYC (S = G/C; Y = C/T) cold spots (3)(4)(5)(6)(7). During V region SHM, the resulting dU:G mismatch can then be replicated during S-phase to produce transition mutations, be processed by uracil-DNA glycosylase 2 and apurinic/ apyrimidinic endonucleases through the base excision repair pathway to produce both transitions and transversions (8)(9)(10), or be recognized by MutS homolog (MSH)2/MSH6 of the mismatch repair (MMR) complex that recruits the low-fidelity polymerase eta (Polη) to generate additional mutations at neighboring A:T residues (11).…”

“…WGS was performed through Complete Genomics Inc. and analyzed with Mol-BioLib (74 tent cells. TA-plasmids were extracted from 200 clones using the Gene Jet Plasmid Miniprep Kit (Thermo Scientific) and Sanger sequenced; then a 551-bp fragment was analyzed for the presence of mutations (59). RNA extraction and RT/PCR of LRBA.…”

“…To determine whether Neil3 deficiency alters SHM, gDNA was extracted from GC B cells isolated from the intestinal PP of Neil3 -/-mice and WT controls (n = 3 per group), the V H J558L framework 3 and J H 4 3′ flanking regions were amplified from the Igh locus, cloned in the TOPO-TA cloning vector, and 200 clones from each mouse were Sanger sequenced. A 551-bp fragment from each clone was analyzed for the presence of mutations and compared with the reference sequence of the C57BL/6J strain, as described previously (59). There was no significant difference in the frequency of total mutations in GC B cells between Neil3 -/-mice and WT controls (11.92 ± 0.70 per 1000 bp in WT mice versus 12.38 ± 3.45 in Neil3 -/-mice).…”
