Aicda | Single-stranded DNA cytosine deaminase; Single-stranded DNA-specific cytidine deaminase. Involved in somatic hypermutation (SHM), gene conversion, and class-switch recombination (CSR) in B-lymphocytes by deaminating C to U during transcription of Ig-variable (V) and Ig-switch (S) region DNA. Required for several crucial steps of B-cell terminal differentiation necessary for efficient antibody responses. May also play a role in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression by participating in DNA demethylation. (198 aa) | ||||
Bcl6b | B-cell CLL/lymphoma 6 member B protein; Acts as a sequence-specific transcriptional repressor in association with BCL6. Necessary for activation of naive T-cells to antigenic stimulation. May attenuate the regulatory effect of BCL6 on antigenic activation of naive CD4 T-cells by forming a heterodimer with BCL6. (474 aa) |
