APOBEC‐mediated DNA alterations: A possible new mechanism of carcinogenesis in EBV‐positive gastric cancer
15 May 2019
Abstract excerpt
Mechanisms of viral oncogenesis are diverse and include the off-target activity of enzymes expressed by the infected cells, which evolved to target viral genomes for controlling their infection. Among these enzymes, the single-strand DNA editing capability of APOBECs represent a well-conserved viral infection response that can also cause untoward mutations in the host DNA. Here we show, after evaluating somatic...
