Antiviral Potency of APOBEC Proteins Does Not Correlate with Cytidine Deamination
15 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
The human cytidine deaminases APOBEC3G (hA3G) and APOBEC3F (hA3F) are intracellular antiretroviral factors that can hypermutate nascent reverse transcripts and inhibit the replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Both enzymes have two cytidine deaminase motifs, although only the C-terminal motif is catalytic. Current models of APOBEC protein function imply editing is the principal mechanism of...
