Genetic loss of the ubiquitin ligase RNF126, an AID interacting partner and modifier, affects strand targeting during somatic hypermutation of antibody genes
N. G. Economos, R. K. Delker, P. Stavropoulos, F. N. Papavasiliou
This study shows that RNF126 ubiquitination of AID is necessary for proper strand targeting during SHM, leading to G>C mutation bias and reduced indels in the variable region.
