Substrate sequence selectivity of APOBEC3A implicates intra-DNA interactions
2017-08-17
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The APOBEC3 (A3) family of human cytidine deaminases is renowned for providing a first line of defense against many exogenous and endogenous retroviruses. However, the ability of these proteins to deaminate deoxycytidines in ssDNA makes A3s a double-edged sword. When overexpressed, A3s can mutate endogenous genomic DNA resulting in a variety of cancers. Although the sequence context for mutating...
