APOBEC3 Mediates Resistance to Oncolytic Viral Therapy [PDF]
Tumor cells frequently evade applied therapies through the accumulation of genomic mutations and rapid evolution. In the case of oncolytic virotherapy, understanding the mechanisms by which cancer cells develop resistance to infection and lysis is ...

Genomic Epidemiology and Clinical Characteristics of Mpox Lineage C.1 Outbreak in Thailand, 2023-2024. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Since 2022, human monkeypox virus (hMPXV) has emerged in non‐endemic regions, including Thailand. However, the genomic dynamics and clinical correlates of local transmission remain incompletely defined. Whole‐genome sequencing was performed on hMPXV from 16 patients in Thailand (2023–2024) using targeted amplicon NGS.

A viral APOBEC3 antagonist distinguishes HHV-6A from HHV-6B [PDF]
Human herpesviruses exhibit diverse pathogenic outcomes and the molecular reasons are not fully understood. Human herpesvirus 6B (HHV-6B) causes exanthema subitum and encephalitis, whereas the closely related HHV-6A is typically asymptomatic.

Herpes simplex virus type 1 R-loops are targets for APOBEC-mediated mutagenesis [PDF]
APOBEC3 enzymes are key effectors of antiviral immunity that introduce mutations into viral genomes. We show that viral R-loops serve as preferred substrates for APOBEC3-mediated mutagenesis during herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection.

Reprogramming tumor immunity through APOBEC3s-mediated mutagenesis: from genome instability to immune checkpoint interactions [PDF]
The apolipoprotein B mRNA editing catalytic polypeptide-like (APOBEC) family was first defined as an innate antiviral defense system, but the APOBEC3 subfamily (APOBEC3s) is now recognized as a major endogenous source of somatic mutagenesis in cancer ...

Host Restriction of Lentiviruses and Viral Countermeasures: APOBEC3 and Vif
It is becoming increasingly clear that organisms have developed a variety of mechanisms to fight against viral infection. The viruses have developed means of counteracting these defences in various ways.

APOBEC3 Interference during Replication of Viral Genomes
Co-evolution of viruses and their hosts has reached a fragile and dynamic equilibrium that allows viral persistence, replication and transmission. In response, infected hosts have developed strategies of defense that counteract the deleterious effects of
