Crystal structure of APOBEC3A bound to single-stranded DNA reveals structural basis for cytidine deamination and specificity
28 Apr 2017
Abstract excerpt
Nucleic acid editing enzymes are essential components of the immune system that lethally mutate viral pathogens and somatically mutate immunoglobulins, and contribute to the diversification and lethality of cancers. Among these enzymes are the seven human APOBEC3 deoxycytidine deaminases, each with unique target sequence specificity and subcellular localization. While the enzymology and biological consequences...
