General Information


DRAVPR ID  DRAVPR0031

Name   DNA dC->dU-editing enzyme APOBEC-3F

Sequence 

Sequence Length  373

Source  Homo sapiens (Human)

UniProt ID Q8IUX4

Gene APOBEC3F



Activity Information


Target Organism  HIV-1,XMRV

Activity 

  • [Ref.15141007]Human immunodeficiency virus type 1(HIV-1):APOBEC3F induced G to A hypermutations in HIV genomic DNA at the step of reverse transcription in target cells and thus inhibited the replication of HIV-1.
  • [Ref.20335265]Xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus (XMRV):the expression of APOBEC3F in virus-producing cells resulted in their virion incorporation, inhibition of XMRV replication, and G-to-A hypermutation of the viral DNA.
