An ancient history of gene duplications, fusions and losses in the evolution of APOBEC3 mutators in mammals.

Carsten Münk | Anouk Willemsen | Ignacio G Bravo
BMC evolutionary biology | 2012

The APOBEC3 (A3) genes play a key role in innate antiviral defense in mammals by introducing directed mutations in the DNA. The human genome encodes for seven A3 genes, with multiple splice alternatives. Different A3 proteins display different substrate specificity, but the very basic question on how discerning self from non-self still remains unresolved. Further, the expression of A3 activity/ies shapes the way both viral and host genomes evolve.
