Visualization of uracils created by APOBEC3A using UdgX shows colocalization with RPA at stalled replication forks
18 Sept 2020
Abstract excerpt
The AID/APOBEC enzymes deaminate cytosines in single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and play key roles in innate and adaptive immunity. The resulting uracils cause mutations and strand breaks that inactivate viruses and diversify antibody repertoire. Mutational evidence suggests that two members of this family, APOBEC3A (A3A) and APOBEC3B, deaminate cytosines in the lagging-strand template during replication. To obtain...
