Figure 6. High affinity AID binding to collapsed R-loop.

Figure 6.

A. Bifurcated substrate binding of AID. Adapted from a published graphic abstract (Qiao et al., 2017). B. AID binding to the displaced non-template strand in an R-loop is a low affinity binding to ssDNA. Upon RNase H treatment, S region repeats misalign to form collapsed R-loop that contains branched DNA (red arrows) for high affinity AID binding.
