Research Abstract |
The ability of mammalian cytidine deaminases encoded by the APOBEC3 (A3) genes to restrict a broad range of endogenous retroelements as well as exogenous retroviruses such as HIV-1 is now well established. We observed that APOBEC1, which mediates C-to-U deamination of apo B mRNA and is involved in lipid transport, from rodents and non-placental mammals, such as opossum are also powerful inhibitors of retroelements including HIV-1. Accordingly, we will test the hypothesis that APOBEC1 knock-out to evade species-specific intrinsic restriction factors in mice will markedly increase their susceptibility to HIV-1 challenge.
