Abstract excerpt
Human APOBEC3G (A3G) and activation-induced deaminase (AID) belong to a family of DNA-cytosine deaminases. While A3G targets the last C in a run of C's, AID targets C in the consensus sequence WRC (W is A or T and R is a purine). Guided by the structures of the A3G carboxyl-terminal catalytic domain (A3G-CTD), we identified two potential regions (region 1 and region 2) that may interact with DNA and swapped the...
