Structural basis for sequence context-independent single-stranded DNA cytosine deamination by the bacterial toxin SsdA
2024-09-08
Abstract excerpt
DNA deaminase toxins are involved in interbacterial antagonism and the generation of genetic diversity in surviving bacterial populations. These enzymes have also been adopted as genome engineering tools. The single-stranded (ss)DNA deaminase SsdA represents the bacterial deaminase toxin family-2 (BaDTF2) and it deaminates ssDNA cytosines with little sequence context dependence, which contrasts with the AID/APOBEC...
