Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2019 Background The observed mutations in cancer are the result of ~30 mutational processes, which stamp particular mutational signatures (MS). Nevertheless, it is still not clear which genomic alterations correlate to several MS.

Retrovirology, 2009 Human APOBEC3G is an antiretroviral protein that was described to act via deamination of retroviral cDNA. However, it was suggested that APOBEC proteins might act with antiviral activity by yet other mechanisms and may also possess RNA deamination ...

Head &Neck, Volume 48, Issue 1, Page 56-63, January 2026.ABSTRACT Background Human papilloma virus (HPV) is a DNA virus capable of infecting mucous membranes. In most cases, the infection is cleared by the immune system, but a prolonged exposure to HPV can progress to cancer. 40%–60% of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) are linked to HPV, which is considered a risk factor especially among young ...

APOBEC Mutagenesis in Cancer Development and Susceptibility
CancersAPOBEC cytosine deaminases are prominent mutators in cancer, mediating mutations in over 50% of cancers. APOBEC mutagenesis has been linked to tumor heterogeneity, persistent cell evolution, and therapy responses. While emerging evidence supports the impact of APOBEC mutagenesis on cancer progression, the understanding of its contribution to cancer ...

Journal of Lipid Research, 2002 Apolipoprotein E (apoE) is essential for the clearance of plasma chylomicron and VLDL remnants. The human APOE locus is polymorphic and 5–10% of APOE*2 homozygotes exhibit type-III hyperlipoproteinemia (THL), while the remaining homozygotes have less ...

The AID/APOBEC family of nucleic acid mutators [PDF]
Genome Biology, 2008 The AID/APOBECs, a group of cytidine deaminases, represent a somewhat unusual protein family that can insert mutations in DNA and RNA as a result of their ability to deaminate cytidine to uridine. The ancestral AID/APOBECs originated from a branch of the zinc-dependent deaminase superfamily at the beginning of the vertebrate radiation. Other members of

Production of rabbit polyclonal antibody against apobec-1 by genetic immunization
Journal of Lipid Research, 1997 Circulating apolipoprotein B (apoB) exists in two forms; apoB-100 and apoB-48. ApoB-48 is a truncated form of apoB resulting from RNA editing. The editing enzyme, called apobec-1, converts a cytidine (C) at nucleotide 6666 in apoB 100 mRNA to a uridine ...

Human Papillomavirus Carcinogenesis Mediated by APOBEC Mutagenesis
YAKUGAKU ZASSHI, 2019 Persistent infection with oncogenic human papillomaviruses (HPVs) is necessary for the development of cervical cancer, although the accumulation of somatic mutations in the host genome is also required for the generation of invasive cervical cancer. Recent studies have demonstrated concomitant genetic changes in the HPV genome; however, their relevance

Scientific ReportsThe APOBEC/AID family is known for its mutator activity, and recent evidence also supports the potential impact of ADARs. Furthermore, the mutator impacts of APOBEC/ADAR mutations have not yet been investigated.
