Abstract excerpt
APOBEC3A and APOBEC3G are DNA cytosine deaminases with biological functions in foreign DNA and retrovirus restriction, respectively. APOBEC3A has an intrinsic preference for cytosine preceded by thymine (5'-TC) in single-stranded DNA substrates, whereas APOBEC3G prefers the target cytosine to be...
