Regulated Production and Anti-HIV Type 1 Activities of Cytidine Deaminases APOBEC3B, 3F, and 3G
1 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
APOBEC3G and 3F (A3G and A3F) cytidine deaminases incorporate into retroviral cores where they lethally hypermutate nascent DNA reverse transcripts. As substantiated here, the viral infectivity factor (Vif) encoded by human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) binds A3G and A3F and induces their degradation, thereby precluding their incorporation into viral progeny. Previous evidence suggested that A3G is...
