Examination of the APOBEC3 Barrier to Cross Species Transmission of Primate Lentiviruses
7 Jun 2021
Abstract excerpt
The transmission of viruses from animal hosts into humans have led to the emergence of several diseases. Usually these cross-species transmissions are blocked by host restriction factors, which are proteins that can block virus replication at a specific step. In the natural virus host, the restriction factor activity is usually suppressed by a viral antagonist protein, but this is not the case for restriction...
