Transcription pause and elongation regulators mediate somatic hypermutation

Somatic hypermutation (SHM) creates point mutations in immunoglobulin (Ig) gene variable (V) regions in activated B cells to support antibody affinity maturation1. SHM is initiated by activation induced deaminase (AID), a cytosine deaminase whose single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) substrate is thought to arise during RNA Poly...

Regulation of RNA transcript elongation in metazoans and its relevance to disease.

The highly orchestrated interactions between elongating Pol II and co-transcriptional RNA-processing factors are discussed, revealing that the splicing factor U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (U1 snRNP) directly stimulates productive elongation.
