Gene APOBEC3G



Activity Information


Target Organism  HIV-1,SFV

Activity 

  • [Ref.12859895]Human immunodeficiency virus type 1(HIV-1):APOBEC3G can induce the conversion of cytosine to uracil in the minus-sense single-strand viral DNA, leading to G-to-A hypermutations in the subsequent plus-strand viral DNA. The resultant detrimental levels of mutations in the proviral genome, along with a deamination-independent mechanism that works prior to the proviral integration, together exert efficient antiretroviral effects in infected target cells.
  • [Ref.16378963]simian foamy virus (SFV):inhibition of the replication of SFV.
