APOBEC3s: DNA‐editing human cytidine deaminases [PDF]
Protein Science, 2019 AbstractNucleic acid editing enzymes are essential components of the human immune system that lethally mutate viral pathogens and somatically mutate immunoglobulins. Among these enzymes are cytidine deaminases of the apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide‐like (APOBEC) super family, each with unique target sequence specificity and ...

DNA editing in DNA/RNA hybrids by adenosine deaminases that act on RNA. [PDF]
, 2017 Adenosine deaminases that act on RNA (ADARs) carry out adenosine (A) to inosine (I) editing reactions with a known requirement for duplex RNA. Here, we show that ADARs also react with DNA/RNA hybrid duplexes.

Isoenzymatic forms of human cytidine deaminase [PDF]
Protein Engineering Design and Selection, 2005 Cytidine deaminase (CDA) purified from human placenta revealed the presence of five isoenzymatic forms that differ only in their isoelectric point. Since human cytidine deaminase exists in two variants (CDA 1 and CDA 2) with a non-conservative amino acid substitution at codon 27, in this work we demonstrate that these two variants may combine together ...

Highly-potent, synthetic APOBEC3s restrict HIV-1 through deamination-independent mechanisms.
PLoS Pathogens, 2021 The APOBEC3 (A3) genes encode cytidine deaminase proteins with potent antiviral and anti-retroelement activity. This locus is characterized by duplication, recombination, and deletion events that gave rise to the seven A3s found in primates.

AID/APOBEC-like cytidine deaminases are ancient innate immune mediators in invertebrates
Nature Communications, 2018 The AID/APOBEC cytidine deaminase family are nucleic acid editors, important for antigen receptor expression and thought to have evolved along with vertebrate adaptive immunity.

APOBEC3G & HTLV-1: Inhibition without deamination
Retrovirology, 2005 APOBEC3G is a cellular cytidine deaminase that was recently identified as the Vif-sensitive antiviral host factor responsible for the restriction of vif-defective HIV-1 in primary human cells and certain non-permissive T cell lines.

Efficient deamination of 5-methylcytidine and 5-substituted cytidine residues in DNA by human APOBEC3A cytidine deaminase. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Deamination of 5-methylcytidine (5MeC) in DNA results in a G:T mismatch unlike cytidine (C) deamination which gives rise to a G:U pair. Deamination of C was generally considered to arise spontaneously.
