Hypermutation of hepatitis B virus genomes by APOBEC3G, APOBEC3C and APOBEC3H
17 Apr 2008
Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a DNA virus that causes liver disease and replicates by reverse transcription of an RNA template. Previous studies have reported that HBV genomes bearing G-->A hypermutation are present at low frequency in human serum. These mutations are most likely due to the activity of apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme-catalytic polypeptide-like (APOBEC) cytosine deaminases, cellular proteins...
