Mouse APOBEC3 Restricts Friend Leukemia Virus Infection and Pathogenesis In Vivo
12 Sept 2008
Abstract excerpt
Several members of the apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme catalytic polypeptide-like complex 3 (APOBEC3) family in primates act as potent inhibitors of retroviral replication. However, lentiviruses have evolved mechanisms to specifically evade host APOBEC3. Likewise, murine leukemia viruses (MuLV) exclude mouse APOBEC3 from the virions and cleave virion-incorporated APOBEC3. Although the betaretrovirus mouse...
