Extensive editing of both hepatitis B virus DNA strands by APOBEC3 cytidine deaminases <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i>
26 May 2005
Abstract excerpt
Because the replication of hepatitis B virus (HBV) proceeds via an obligatory reverse transcription step in the viral capsid, cDNA is potentially vulnerable to editing by cytidine deaminases of the APOBEC3 family. To date only two edited HBV genomes, referred to as G --> A hypermutants, have been described in vivo. Recent work suggested that HBV replication was indeed restricted by APOBEC3G but by a mechanism...
