X Abstract

Human apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme catalytic polypeptide-like 3G (APOBEC3G) is known to play a role in intrinsic cellular immunity against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). The antiretroviral activity of APOBEC3G is associated with hypermutation of viral DNA through cytidine deamination. APOBEC3G contains two cytidine deaminase domains that are characterized by a highly conserved zinc-coordinating motif. It is known that only the C-terminal domain of APOBEC3G (c-APOBEC3G) is involved in the catalytic activity. Here, we present the solution structure and the interaction with single-stranded DNA of c-APOBEC3G. Furthermore, we have succeeded for the first time in monitoring the deamination reaction of c-APOBEC3G in real-time using NMR signals. The monitoring has demonstrated that the deamination reaction occurs in a strict 3'-->5'

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
