This study explores the role of Rev3-dependent mutations in double-strand break (DSB) repair and their association with somatic hypermutation in immunoglobulin genes. The induction of hypermutation relies on DNA polymerase iota, highlighting a crucial mechanism for antibody diversification. The findings suggest that AID mutates E. coli, indicating that DNA deamination may underlie the diversification process. These insights contribute to our understanding of immune responses and the molecular mechanisms regulating genetic variability within immune cells.
