Divergence in dimerization and activity of primate APOBEC3C

This study identifies the molecular basis for differences in dimerization and antiviral activity of primate APOBEC3C proteins through biochemical, virological, and computational analyses.

Induced mutagenesis by the DNA cytosine deaminase APOBEC3H Haplotype I protects against lung cancer

The paper shows that a specific APOBEC3H Haplotype I mutation destabilizes the protein, reducing its mutagenic activity and protecting against lung cancer.
