Mammalian Uracil DNA glycosylase (UNG) removes uracils and initiates high-fidelity base excision repair to maintain genomic stability. During B cell development, activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) creates uracils that UNG processes in an error-prone fashion to accomplish immunoglobulin (Ig) somatic hypermutation (SHM) or class switch recombination (CSR). The mechanism that governs high-fidelity versus mutagenic uracil repair is not understood. The B cell tropic gammaherpesvirus (GHV) encodes a functional homolog of UNG that can process AID induced genomic uracils. GHVUNG does not support hypermutation, suggesting intrinsic properties of UNG influence repair outcome. Noting the structural divergence between the UNGs, we define the RPA interacting motif as the determinant of mutation outcome. UNG or RPA mutants unable to interact with each other, only support high-fidelity repair. In B cells, transversions at the Ig variable region are abated while CSR is supported. Thus UNG-RPA governs the generation of mutations and has implications for locus specific mutagenesis in B cells and deamination associated mutational signatures in cancer.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
