Structural Model for Deoxycytidine Deamination Mechanisms of the HIV-1 Inactivation Enzyme APOBEC3G
9 Mar 2010
Abstract excerpt
APOBEC3G (Apo3G) is a single-stranded DNA-dependent deoxycytidine deaminase, which, in the absence of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) viral infectivity factor, is encapsulated into HIV virions. Subsequently, Apo3G triggers viral inactivation by processively deaminating C-->U, with 3'-->5' polarity, on nascent minus-strand cDNA. Apo3G has a catalytically inactive N-terminal CD1 domain and an active...
