Abstract excerpt
APOBEC3F (apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme catalytic polypeptide 1-like protein 3F) is a cytidine deaminase that, like APOBEC3G, is able to restrict the replication of HIV-1/delta vif. Initial studies revealed high numbers of mutations in the cDNA of viruses produced in the presence of these proteins, suggesting that cytidine deamination underpinned the inhibition of infection. However, we have recently shown...
