APOBEC3G Interacts with ssDNA by Two Modes: AFM Studies
APOBEC3G (A3G) protein has antiviral activity against HIV and other pathogenic retroviruses. A3G has two domains: a catalytic C-terminal domain (CTD) that deaminates cytidine, and a N-terminal domain (NTD) that binds to ssDNA. Although abundant information exists about the biological activities of A3G protein, the interplay between sequence specific deaminase activity and A3G binding to ssDNA r...
متن کاملThe telomeric protein Pot1 from Schizosaccharomyces pombe binds ssDNA in two modes with differing 3′ end availability
Telomere protection and length regulation are important processes for aging, cancer and several other diseases. At the heart of these processes lies the single-stranded DNA (ssDNA)-binding protein Pot1, a component of the telomere maintenance complex shelterin, which is present in species ranging from fission yeast to humans. Pot1 contains a dual OB-fold DNA-binding domain (DBD) that fully conf...
متن کاملGANP interacts with APOBEC3G and facilitates its encapsidation into the virions to reduce HIV-1 infectivity.
The ssDNA-dependent deoxycytidine deaminase apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing, enzyme-catalytic, polypeptide-like 3G (A3G) is a potent restrictive factor against HIV-1 virus lacking viral-encoded infectivity factor (Vif) in CD4(+) T cells. A3G antiretroviral activity requires its encapsulation into HIV-1 virions. In this study, we show that germinal center-associated nuclear protein (GANP) is induc...
متن کاملDifferent Modes of Retrovirus Restriction by Human APOBEC3A and APOBEC3G In Vivo
The apolipoprotein B editing complex 3 (A3) cytidine deaminases are among the most highly evolutionarily selected retroviral restriction factors, both in terms of gene copy number and sequence diversity. Primate genomes encode seven A3 genes, and while A3F and 3G are widely recognized as important in the restriction of HIV, the role of the other genes, particularly A3A, is not as clear. Indeed,...
متن کاملTwo modes of pathogen recognition by plants.
M ore than 50 years ago, J. B. S. Haldane (1) presciently predicted that polymorphism in proteins governing host–pathogen interactions was driven by the rapid rates of microbial evolution. He suggested that slowly evolving host species could only manage to dodge microbial infection by generating high levels of polymorphism in the relevant immune system genes. These ideas were in part inspired b...
