Role of genomic instability and p53 in AID-induced c-myc–Igh translocations
Chromosomal translocations involving the immunoglobulin switch region are a hallmark feature of B-cell malignancies 1 . However, little is known about the molecular mechanism by which primary B cells acquire or guard against these lesions. Here we find that translocations between c-myc and the IgH l...

| Shrnutí: | Chromosomal translocations involving the immunoglobulin switch region are a hallmark feature of B-cell malignancies

. However, little is known about the molecular mechanism by which primary B cells acquire or guard against these lesions. Here we find that translocations between
c-myc
and the IgH locus (
Igh
) are induced in primary B cells within hours of expression of the catalytically active form of activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID), an enzyme that deaminates cytosine to produce uracil in DNA

. Translocation also requires uracil DNA glycosylase (UNG), which removes uracil from DNA to create abasic sites that are then processed to double-strand breaks

. The pathway that mediates aberrant joining of
c-myc
and
Igh
differs from intrachromosomal repair during immunoglobulin class switch recombination in that it does not require histone H2AX

, p53 binding protein 1 (53BP1)

or the non-homologous end-joining protein Ku80

. In addition, translocations are inhibited by the tumour suppressors ATM, Nbs1, p19 (Arf) and p53, which is consistent with activation of DNA damage- and oncogenic stress-induced checkpoints during physiological class switching. Finally, we demonstrate that accumulation of AID-dependent, IgH-associated chromosomal lesions is not sufficient to enhance
c-myc
–
Igh
translocations. Our findings reveal a pathway for surveillance and protection against AID-dependent DNA damage, leading to chromosomal translocations. |
