Structural perspectives on HIV‐1 Vif and APOBEC3 restriction factor interactions
13 Sept 2019
Abstract excerpt
T cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells. The human apolipoprotein B mRNA- editing catalytic polypeptide 3 (APOBEC3 or A3) cytidine deaminases are a key class of intrinsic restriction factors that inhibit replication of HIV. When HIV-1 enters the cell, the immune system responds by inducing the activation of the A3 family proteins, which convert cytosines to uracils in single-stranded DNA replication...
