Human-APOBEC3G-dependent restriction of porcine endogenous retrovirus replication is mediated by cytidine deamination and inhibition of DNA strand transfer during reverse transcription.

Abstract excerpt

Although human apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme catalytic polypeptide-like 3G (APOBEC3G, hA3G)-mediated deamination is the major mechanism used to restrict the infectivity of a broad range of retroviruses, it is unclear whether porcine endogenous retrovirus (PERV) is affected by hA3G or porcine A3F (poA3F). To determine whether DNA deamination is required for hA3G- and poA3F-dependent inhibition of PERV...
