APOBEC mutagenesis, kataegis, chromothripsis in EGFR-mutant osimertinib-resistant lung adenocarcinomas [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Oncology, 2022
BACKGROUND Studies of targeted therapy resistance in lung cancer have primarily focused on single gene alterations. Based on prior work implicating APOBEC mutagenesis in histological transformation of EGFR-mutant lung cancers, we hypothesized that ...

APOBEC-Induced Mutagenesis in Cancer

Annual Review of Genetics, 2022
The initiation, progression, and relapse of cancers often result from mutations occurring within somatic cells. Consequently, processes that elevate mutation rates accelerate carcinogenesis and hinder the development of long-lasting therapeutics. Recent sequencing of human cancer genomes has identified patterns of mutations, termed mutation signatures,

Functions and regulation of the APOBEC family of proteins [PDF]

open access: yesSeminars in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2012
APOBEC1 is a cytidine deaminase that edits messenger RNAs and was the first enzyme in the APOBEC family to be functionally characterized. Under appropriate conditions APOBEC1 also deaminates deoxycytidine in single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). The other ten members of the APOBEC family have not been fully characterized however several have deoxycytidine ...

APOBEC: From mutator to editor

Journal of Genetics and Genomics, 2017
APOBECs (apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide-like) are a family of cytidine deaminases that prefer single-stranded nucleic acids as substrates. Besides their physiological functions, APOBEC family members have been found to cause hypermutations of cancer genomes, which could be correlated with cancer development and poor ...

APOBEC Alteration Contributes to Tumor Growth and Immune Escape in Pan-Cancer

open access: yesCancers, 2022
SIMPLE SUMMARY: The APOBEC3 family (apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme catalytic polypeptide-like) was shown to induce tumor mutations through an aberrant DNA editing mechanism.

APOBEC restriction goes nuclear

Nature Microbiology, 2018
APOBEC3 restriction, known to inhibit retroviruses by interfering with genome replication and hypermutating viral DNA, targets the γ-herpesvirus Epstein–Barr virus and is antagonized by the viral BORF2 protein.

Retroviral restriction by APOBEC proteins

Nature Reviews Immunology, 2004
A powerful mechanism of vertebrate innate immunity has been discovered in the past year, in which APOBEC proteins inhibit retroviruses by deaminating cytosine residues in nascent retroviral cDNA. To thwart this cellular defence, HIV encodes Vif, a small protein that mediates APOBEC degradation.

Genetic modifiers of APOBEC-induced mutagenesis

2023
Abstract The cytidine deaminases APOBEC3A and APOBEC3B (A3B) are prominent mutators of human cancer genomes. However, tumor-specific genetic modulators of APOBEC-induced mutagenesis are poorly defined. Here, we utilized a screen to identify 61 gene deletions that increase A3B-induced mutations in yeast.

APOBEC Enzymes as Targets for Virus and Cancer Therapy [PDF]

open access: yesCell Chemical Biology, 2018
Human DNA cytosine-to-uracil deaminases catalyze mutations in both pathogen and cellular genomes. APOBEC3D, APOBEC3F, APOBEC3G, and APOBEC3H restrict human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) infection in cells deficient in the viral infectivity factor (Vif), and have the potential to catalyze sublethal levels of mutation in viral genomes in Vif ...
