Repair of APOBEC3G-mutated retroviral DNA <i>in vivo</i> is facilitated by the host enzyme uracil DNA glycosylase 2
2021-08-25
Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein B mRNA Editing Enzyme Catalytic Subunit 3 (APOBEC3) proteins are critical for the control of infection by retroviruses. These proteins deaminate cytidines in negative strand DNA during reverse transcription, leading to G to A changes in coding strands. Uracil DNA glycosylase (UNG) is a host enzyme that excises uracils in genomic DNA, which the base excision repair machinery then repairs. Whether UNG...
