Differential inhibition of LINE1 and LINE2 retrotransposition by vertebrate AID/APOBEC proteins
1 Dec 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The role of AID/APOBEC proteins in the mammalian immune response against retroviruses and retrotransposons is well established. G to A hypermutations, the hallmark of their cytidine deaminase activity, are present in several mammalian retrotransposons. However, the role of AID/APOBEC proteins in non-mammalian retroelement restriction is not completely understood. RESULTS: Here we provide the first...
