Robust V(D)J Recombination in the Absence of SA1/2-mediated Chromatin Loops

Zhuo Yang, Yu Fu, Mariia Mikhova, David Chen, Camille Hebert, Adam Yongxin Ye, Xin Lin, Taimor Williams, Hongli Hu, Zhaoqing Ba, Job Dekker, Fred W. Alt

This study shows that SA1/2 are not essential for V(D)J recombination in G0/G1-arrested cells, but their absence disrupts chromatin loops and long-range Igh recombination, while Ig{kappa} recombination remains functional.

Human antibody heavy chain variable region exon interacts with 3' regulatory region to form a stable somatic hypermutation center

Ying Guan, Mariia Mikhova, Zhuo Yang, Kai Xu, Shuxian Xie, Xin Lin, Adam Yongxin Ye, Taimor Williams, Jianshu Wang, David G. Schatz, Frederick W. Alt, Xi Chen

The paper demonstrates that a human antibody heavy chain variable region exon forms a stable somatic hypermutation center (SHM-C) through interaction with 3' regulatory regions, supporting AID access and SHM in non-dividing cells.
