Inhibition of hepatitis B virus replication involves editing enzymes
Published in Hepatitis Weekly, August 7th, 2006
"Hypermutations in HBV DNA by APOBEC3 cytidine deaminases have been detected in vitro and in vivo, and APOBEC3G (A3G) and A-POBEC3F (A3F) have been shown to inhibit the replication of HBV in vitro, but the presumably low or even absent hepatic expression of these enzymes has raised the question as to their physiological impact on HBV replication. We show that normal human liver expresses the mRNAs of APOBEC3B (A3B), APOBEC3C (A3C), A3F, and A3G," wrote M. Bonvin and colleagues, St. Vincenz...
