"The innate antiviral factor APOBEC3G (A3G) possesses RNA binding activity and deaminates HIV-1 DNA. High-molecular mass forms of A3G can be isolated from a variety of cell types but exhibit limited deaminase activity relative to low-molecular mass species prepared under RNA-depleted conditions," investigators in the United States report.

"To investigate the fundamental oligomeric state and shape of A3G, We conducted sedimentation velocity analyses of the pure enzyme under RNA-deficient conditions. a predominant dimer in equilibrium with minor monomeric and tetrameric species. Hydrodynamic modeling of the dimer supports an extended cylindrical shape that assembles into...
