Abstract excerpt
Replication of the complex retrovirus mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) is antagonized by murine Apobec3 (mA3), a member of the Apobec family of cytidine deaminases. We have shown that MMTV-encoded Rem protein inhibits proviral mutagenesis by the Apobec enzyme, activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) during viral replication in BALB/c mice. To further study the role of Rem in vivo, we have infected C57BL/6...
