Abstract excerpt
APOBEC3A belongs to a family of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) DNA cytosine deaminases that are known for restriction of HIV through deamination-induced mutational inactivation, e.g. APOBEC3G, or initiation of somatic hypermutation and class switch recombination (activation-induced cytidine deaminase). APOBEC3A, which is localized to both the cytoplasm and nucleus, not only restricts HIV but can also initiate...
