International audienceFGFR3 is one of the most frequently mutated genes in bladder cancer and a driver of an oncogenic dependency. Here we report that only the most common recurrent FGFR3 mutation, S249C (TCC→TGC), represents an APOBEC-type motif and is ...

APOBEC-Induced Cancer Mutations Are Uniquely Enriched in Early-Replicating, Gene-Dense, and Active Chromatin Regions [PDF]
An antiviral component of the human innate immune system—the APOBEC cytidine deaminases—was recently identified as a prominent source of mutations in cancers.

APOBEC Mutagenesis Inhibits Breast Cancer Growth through Induction of T cell-Mediated Antitumor Immune Responses. [PDF]
The APOBEC family of cytidine deaminases is one of the most common endogenous sources of mutations in human cancer. Genomic studies of tumors have found that APOBEC mutational signatures are enriched in theHER2 subtype of breast cancer and are associated

Characterizing Somatic Mutation Clusters in Cancers Enriched with APOBEC Mutagenesis [PDF]
The APOBEC family of cytidine deaminases plays an active role in the human immune system, combating viruses and transposable elements. These enzymes convert cytosine to uracil, which often leads to C->T or C->G mutations within the specific nucleotide

Navigating luminal heterogeneity: etiology-based proteogenomic subtyping for targeted treatment strategies in breast cancer [PDF]
Background Luminal breast cancer is rising rapidly among East Asian women, particularly younger patients, with variable clinical outcome, yet current risk-stratification models inadequately predict early recurrence of under-studied young-onset cases.

Replication Stress Induces Hyper-Apobec Mutagenesis in Multiple Myeloma
Introduction APOBEC mutational signatures are prominent in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM), driven primarily by the enzymes APOBEC3A (A3A) and APOBEC3B (A3B). The activity of these enzymes varies significantly among patients, with some exhibiting

Mutational signature-based classification uncovers emerging oral cancer subtypes with distinct molecular patterns [PDF]
Tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and infection with human papilloma virus (HPV) are well-established risk factors for head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC).

Abstract 598: APOBEC mutagenesis: a link between innate immunity and cancer
Introduction: Cytidine deaminase activity of APOBEC3 enzymes generates mutations that restrict viral infection and eliminate tumor cells but also contribute to viral and tumor evolution.

APOBEC mutagenesis in drug resistance and immune escape in HIV and cancer evolution
The APOBEC mutational signature has only recently been detected in a multitude of cancers through next-generation sequencing. In contrast, APOBEC has been a focus of virology research for over a decade.
