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.

The Role of APOBEC3B in Cancer: Mechanisms, Clinical Challenges, and Therapeutic Opportunities
Apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme catalytic polypeptide‐like 3B (APOBEC3B, A3B) is a key cytidine deaminase that induces genomic instability and clonal evolution in diverse malignancies. Although A3B plays a key role in the onset and advancement of various cancers, a comprehensive model bridging its multifaceted mechanisms and clinical translation ...

Fv1 restriction and retrovirus vaccine immunity in Apobec3-deficient 129P2 mice. [PDF]
Understanding the host genetics of the immune response in retrovirus infection models could provide insights for basic HIV vaccine discovery. In Friend retrovirus (FV) infection of mice, Fv1 differentially inhibits N-tropic versus B-tropic FV infection ...

Antiviral defense by APOBEC3 Family Proteins
APOBEC3G is a potent antiretroviral factor, which belongs to the APOBEC superfamily of cytidine deaminases. It deaminates cytidine to uridine in nascent minus-strand viral DNA, inducing G-to-A hypermutation in the plus-strand viral DNA. HIV-1 Vif protein overcomes the antiviral activity of APOBEC3G by targeting it for ubiquitin-dependent degradation ...

Modellezés a HIV-fertőzés kutatásában és az immunológiában = Mathematical modelling in the study of HIV infection and immunology [PDF]
A publikált eredményeket összegzem röviden. 1. Összehasonlító genomanalízis segítségével megvizsgáltam, hogy a retrovírusok genomösszetételét mennyiben befolyásolhatta a nemrég felfedezett APOBEC3 enzimcsalád, amely guanin->adenin hipermutációt ...

Expression of APOBEC3 Lentiviral Restriction Factors in Cats [PDF]
Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is a naturally occurring T-cell tropic lentiviral disease of felids with many similarities to HIV/AIDS in humans. Similar to primate lentiviral-host interactions, feline APOBEC3 (A3) has been shown to inhibit FIV infection in a host-specific manner and feline A3 degradation is mediated by FIV Vif.
