Abstract excerpt
APOBEC cytidine deaminases guard cells in a variety of organisms from invading viruses and foreign nucleic acids. Recently, several human APOBECs have been implicated in mutating evolving cancer genomes. Expression of APOBEC3A and APOBEC3B in yeast allowed experimental derivation of the substitution patterns they cause in dividing cells, which provided critical links to these enzymes in the etiology of the COSMIC...
