Cytidine Deaminase—A Marker for Pre-Eclampsia? [PDF]
Cytidine deaminase (cytidine aminohydrolase, EC 3.5.4.5) was measured in blood collected for routine antenatal monitoring from 590 unselected pregnant women. The enzyme measurements were made without prior knowledge of the clinical condition of the patients.

Activation induced cytidine deaminase: An old friend with new faces. [PDF]
Activation induced cytidine deaminase (AID) protein is a member of APOBEC family. AID converts cytidine to uracil, which is a key step for somatic hypermutation (SHM) and class switch recombination (CSR). AID also plays critical roles in B cell precursor

AID/APOBEC-like cytidine deaminases are ancient innate immune mediators in invertebrates
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.

Restriction of Foamy Viruses by APOBEC Cytidine Deaminases [PDF]
ABSTRACT Foamy viruses (FVs) are nonpathogenic retroviruses infecting many species of mammals, notably primates, cattle, and cats. We have examined whether members of the apolipoprotein B-editing catalytic polypeptide-like subunit (APOBEC) family of antiviral cytidine deaminases restrict replication of simian FV.

APOBEC3G & HTLV-1: Inhibition without deamination
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.

Highly-potent, synthetic APOBEC3s restrict HIV-1 through deamination-independent mechanisms.
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.

In vitro Assay for Cytidine Deaminase Activity of APOBEC3 Protein
Cytidine deaminases are enzymes that catalyze the removal of an amino group from cytidine, forming uridine. APOBEC3 (ApolipoproteinB mRNA editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide like) proteins are cytidine deaminases that deaminate cytidines in ...

Resistance of Cyclocytidine to Cytidine Deaminase
Deamination of cytidine derivatives especially of cyclocytidine by mouse kidney cytidine deaminase was examined. Cyclocytidine was not deaminated at either pH6.5 or pH7.3 by the enzyme. Furthermore, cyclocytidine did not inhibit the deamination of aracytidine and ([I]/[S])0.5 value for cyclocytidine was over 100.

A Rapid Approach for Identifying Cell Lines Lacking Functional Cytidine Deaminase. [PDF]
CDD plays a pivotal role within the pyrimidine salvage pathway. In this study, a novel, rapid method for the identification of cell lines lacking functional cytidine deaminase was developed. This innovative method utilizes immunocytochemical detection of
