APOBEC3 Inhibition of Mouse Mammary Tumor Virus Infection: the Role of Cytidine Deamination versus Inhibition of Reverse Transcription
1 Mar 2013
Abstract excerpt
The apolipoprotein B editing complex 3 (APOBEC3) family of proteins is a group of intrinsic antiviral factors active against a number of retroviral pathogens, including HIV in humans and mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) in mice. APOBEC3 restricts its viral targets through cytidine deamination of viral DNA during reverse transcription or via deaminase-independent means. Here, we used virions from the mammary...
