Retroviral vector pMXs human AID-, AIDΔE5- and AID7.3-ires-GFP, as well as mouse AID-GFP, have been described24 (link),26 (link),36 (link). Human AID fusions were assembled as BamHI-AID-EcoRI-Linker-HindIII-AID-E58A-XhoI cassettes into pTrcHisA (ThermoFisher) or pMX-ires-GFP (Cell Biolabs). The linker encoded a flexible (SGGGG)x3 peptide. Human SPT5 was PCR amplified and cloned into a gateway-compatible mCherry-LacRep destination vector56 (link) (a gift from Dr. D. Durocher, University of Toronto, Canada). Mouse AID and Linker-BirA* were PCR amplified using gateway-compatible primers and cloned into appropriate donor vectors to generate AID-BirA* fusions into a homemade gateway-compatible pMX-ires-GFP bearing a gateway cassette cloned BamHI-EcoRI by using Multisite gateway technology (Invitrogen). AID variants were generated by PCR amplification with ad hoc oligonucleotides or by quick-change site-directed mutagenesis using KOD1 DNA polymerase (Toyobo Inc.). For oligonucleotide sequences, see Supplementary Table 2.
