Human APOBEC1 cytidine deaminase edits HBV DNA [PDF]
Retrovirology, 2009 Retroviruses, hepadnaviruses, and some other retroelements are vulnerable to editing by single stranded DNA cytidine deaminases. Of the eleven human genes encoding such enzymes, eight have demonstrable enzymatic activity.

Deaminase-independent inhibition of parvoviruses by the APOBEC3A cytidine deaminase.
PLoS Pathogens, 2009 The APOBEC3 proteins form a multigene family of cytidine deaminases with inhibitory activity against viruses and retrotransposons. In contrast to APOBEC3G (A3G), APOBEC3A (A3A) has no effect on lentiviruses but dramatically inhibits replication of the ...

Partial purification of cytidine deaminase from protoscoleces of Echinococcus granulosus [PDF]
Kirkuk Journal of Science, 2015 Cytidine deaminase (EC 3.5.4.5) has been partially purified from protoscoleces of Echinococcus granulosus by gel filteration chromatography using Sephadex G200 .The molecular weight of the enzyme determined by gel filteration was about 82000 dalton with ...

A genome-wide identification and analysis of the DYW-deaminase genes in the pentatricopeptide repeat gene family in cotton (Gossypium spp.). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The RNA editing occurring in plant organellar genomes mainly involves the change of cytidine to uridine. This process involves a deamination reaction, with cytidine deaminase as the catalyst.

Precise base editing with CC context-specificity using engineered human APOBEC3G-nCas9 fusions
BMC Biology, 2020 Background Cytidine base editors (CBEs), composed of a cytidine deaminase fused to Cas9 nickase (nCas9), enable efficient C-to-T conversion in various organisms. However, current base editors can induce unwanted bystander C-to-T conversions when multiple

Single-stranded DNA binding proteins influence APOBEC3A substrate preference
Scientific Reports, 2021 The cytidine deaminase, APOBEC3A (A3A), is a prominent source of mutations in multiple cancer types. These APOBEC-signature mutations are non-uniformly distributed across cancer genomes, associating with single-stranded (ss) DNA formed during DNA ...
