APOBEC3G also known as A3G is an enzyme that belongs to the APOBEC family of cytidine deaminases. It has a molecular mass of approximately 46 kDa. This protein is expressed in various tissues including immune cells like lymphocytes and macrophages. A3G plays a mechanical role in catalyzing the deamination of cytidine to uridine on single-stranded DNA which impacts the genetic material of retroviruses.
Biological function summary
APOBEC3G acts as a host defense mechanism against retroviral infections particularly HIV-1. It incorporates into budding virions where it exerts its antiviral effect. A3G functions within the APOBEC protein family complex that participates in innate immunity. This antiviral activity helps to inhibit viral replication by inducing lethal mutations in the viral genome.
Pathways
APOBEC3G is vital in the HIV-1 life cycle disruption pathway. It interacts with other cellular factors such as the viral protein Vif which counters APOBEC3G’s activity by targeting it for proteasomal degradation. The protein is also involved in the regulation of gene expression pathways linked to innate immune responses.
APOBEC3G is associated with HIV-1 infection. Elevated levels of APOBEC3G can lead to the hypermutation of viral DNA potentially reducing viral loads in host cells. The protein’s interaction with HIV-1 Vif protein is critical as Vif facilitates the degradation of A3G allowing the virus to escape its antiviral activity. Additionally researchers investigate a possible connection between A3G and cancer due to its mutation-inducing capability in DNA.
