Diversification of AID/APOBEC-like deaminases in metazoa: multiplicity of clades and widespread roles in immunity

AID/APOBEC deaminases (AADs) convert cytidine to uridine in single-stranded nucleic acids. They are involved in numerous mutagenic processes, including those underpinning vertebrate innate and adaptive immunity. Using a multipronged sequence analysis strategy, we uncover several AADs across metazoa,...
