Evolutionary effects of the AID/APOBEC family of mutagenic enzymes on human gamma-herpesviruses
13 Dec 2018
Abstract excerpt
The human gamma-herpesviruses, Epstein-Barr virus and Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, establish lifelong latency in B cells and are associated with multiple malignancies. Virus-host coevolution often drive changes in both host immunity and in the viral genome. We consider one host immune mechanism, the activation-induced deaminase (AID)/APOBEC family of cytidine deaminases, that induces mutations in...
