Name DNA dC->dU-editing enzyme APOBEC-3F
Description Not Available
Synonyms
  1. Apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme catalytic polypeptide-like 3F
Gene Name APOBEC3F
Protein Type Metal Binding
Biological Properties
General Function Not Available
Specific Function Host cellular restriction factor that may have antiviral activities against exogenous and endogenous viruses, as well as retrotransposons. After being packaged into HIV-1 virions, blocks productive infection by massively editing dC residues to dU on the DNA minus strand during reverse transcription. The editing of the minus strand DNA of HIV-1 during reverse transcription leads to G-to-A transitions in the plus strand. The inhibition of viral replication is either due to the degradation of the minus strand before its integration or to the lethality of the hypermutations. May also play a role in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression through the process of active DNA demethylation.
