Significance Uracil DNA glycosylase (UNG) has been known as a critical base excision repair protein required for class switch recombination (CSR) and somatic hypermutation (SHM). On the other hand, its precise function in both CSR and SHM is extremely debatable and elusive. Here, we showed that UNG suppresses S region SHM (s-SHM) by recruiting the faithful DNA repair complex and, in the absence of UNG, the error-prone repair complex that induces s-SHM overrides. Moreover, UNG promotes activation-induced cytidine deaminase-induced CSR by regulating S-S synapse and DNA end repair. Interestingly, the enzymatic activity of UNG is dispensable for s-SHM suppression and CSR promotion. Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) is essential to class-switch recombination (CSR) and somatic hypermutation (SHM) in both V region SHM and S region SHM (s-SHM). Uracil DNA glycosylase (UNG), a member of the base excision repair (BER) complex, is required for CSR. Strikingly, however, UNG deficiency causes augmentation of SHM, suggesting involvement of distinct functions of UNG in SHM and CSR. Here, we show that noncanonical scaffold functions of UNG regulate s-SHM negatively and CSR positively. The s-SHM suppressive function of UNG is attributed to the recruitment of faithful BER components at the cleaved DNA locus, with competition against error-prone polymerases. By contrast, the CSR-promoting function of UNG enhances AID-dependent S-S synapse formation by recruiting p53-binding protein 1 and DNA-dependent protein kinase, catalytic subunit. Several loss-of-catalysis mutants of UNG discriminated CSR-promoting activity from s-SHM suppressive activity. Taken together, the noncanonical function of UNG regulates the steps after AID-induced DNA cleavage: error-prone repair suppression in s-SHM and end-joining promotion in CSR.
