Suppression of APOBEC3-mediated restriction of HIV-1 by Vif
The APOBEC3 restriction factors are a family of deoxycytidine deaminases that are able to suppress replication of viruses with a single-stranded DNA intermediate by inducing mutagenesis and functional inactivation of the virus. Of the seven human APOBEC3 enzymes, only APOBEC3-D, -F, -G, and -H appear relevant to restriction of HIV-1 in CD4+ T cells and will be the focus of this review. The rest...
متن کاملThe APOBEC3 family of retroelement restriction factors.
The ability to regulate and even target mutagenesis is an extremely valuable cellular asset. Enzyme-catalyzed DNA cytosine deamination is a molecular strategy employed by vertebrates to promote antibody diversity and defend against foreign nucleic acids. Ten years ago, a family of cellular enzymes was first described with several proving capable of deaminating DNA and inhibiting HIV-1 replicati...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin somatic hypermutation by APOBEC3/Rfv3 during retroviral infection.
Somatic hypermutation (SHM) is an integral process in the development of high-affinity antibodies that are important for recovery from viral infections and vaccine-induced protection. Ig SHM occurs predominantly in germinal centers (GC) via the enzymatic activity of activation-induced deaminase (AID). In contrast, the evolutionarily related apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme, catalytic polype...
متن کاملHIV Restriction by APOBEC3 in Humanized Mice
Innate immune restriction factors represent important specialized barriers to zoonotic transmission of viruses. Significant consideration has been given to their possible use for therapeutic benefit. The apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme catalytic polypeptide 3 (APOBEC3) family of cytidine deaminases are potent immune defense molecules capable of efficiently restricting endogenous retroeleme...
متن کاملHost restriction of murine gammaherpesvirus 68 replication by human APOBEC3 cytidine deaminases but not murine APOBEC3.
Humans encode seven APOBEC3 (A3A-A3H) cytidine deaminase proteins that differ in their expression profiles, preferred nucleotide recognition sequence and capacity for restriction of RNA and DNA viruses. We identified APOBEC3 hotspots in numerous herpesvirus genomes. To determine the impact of host APOBEC3 on herpesvirus biology in vivo, we examined whether murine APOBEC3 (mA3) restricts murine ...
