Background

APOBEC3F (A3F), a member of the human APOBEC3 (A3) family of cytidine deaminases, acts as an anti-HIV-1 factor by deaminating deoxycytidine in the complementary DNA of the viral genome. A full understanding of the deamination behavior of A3F awaits further investigation.

Methods

The real-time NMR method and uracil-DNA glycosylase assay were used to track the activities of the C-terminal domain (CTD) of A3F at different concentrations of A3F-CTD and ssDNA. The steady-state fluorescence anisotropy measurement was used to examine the binding between A3F-CTD and ssDNA with different lengths. The use of the A3F-CTD N214H mutant, having higher activity than the wild-type, facilitated the tracking of the reactions.

Results

A3F-CTD was found to efficiently deaminate the target deoxycytidine in long ssDNA in lower ssDNA concentration conditions ([A3F-CTD] ≫ [ssDNA]), while the target deoxycytidine in short ssDNA is deaminated efficiently in higher ssDNA concentration conditions ([A3F-CTD] ≪ [ssDNA]). This property is quite different from that of the previously studied A3 family member, A3B; the concentrations of the proteins and ssDNA had no effect.

Conclusions

The concentrations of A3F-CTD and ssDNA substrates affect the ssDNA-length-dependence of deamination rate of the A3F-CTD. This unique property of A3F is rationally interpreted on the basis of its binding characteristics with ssDNA.

General significance

The discovery of the unique property of A3F regarding the deamination rate deepens the understanding of its counteraction against HIV-1. Our strategy is applicable to investigate the other aspects of the A3 activities, such as those involved in the cancer development."xsd:string
