AID protein

AID (Activation Induced Deamidase) is a protein active in mammal lymphocytes, where it causes the somatic hypermutation – an increase of mutation level in antibody coding sequences. There is a publication [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12097915?ordinalpos=1&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_DefaultReportPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum] which proves AID activity in E. coli cells. AID acts on single-stranded DNA, so only highly transcribed loci are mutated.

We have used AID to create 'one-armed bandit' strain that mutates only selected gene / set of genes.
