The mechanism by which the DNA deaminase activation‐induced cytidine deaminase (AID) is specifically recruited to repetitive switch region DNA during class switch recombination is still poorly understood. Work over the past decade has revealed a strong link between transcription and RNA polymerase‐associated factors in AID recruitment, yet none of these processes satisfactorily explain how AID specificity is affected. Here, we review a recent finding wherein AID is guided to switch regions not by a protein factor but by an RNA moiety, and especially one associated with a noncoding RNA that has been long thought of as being inert. This work explains the long‐standing requirement of splicing of noncoding transcripts during class switching, and has implications in both B cell‐mediated immunity as well as the underlying pathological syndromes associated with the recombination reaction.
