Abstract excerpt
APOBEC-3 proteins induce C-to-U hypermutations in the viral genome of various viruses and have broad antiviral activity. Generally, only a small proportion of viral genomes (<10(-)(2)) are hypermutated by APOBEC-3s, but often many cytidines (up to 40%) are converted into uridine. The mechanism of...
