RNA editing enzyme APOBEC1 and some of its homologs can act as DNA mutators.

Abstract:

:APOBEC1 is the catalytic component of an RNA editing complex but shows homology to activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID), a protein whose function is to potentiate diversification of immunoglobulin gene DNA. Here, we show that APOBEC1 and its homologs APOBEC3C and APOBEC3G exhibit potent DNA mutator activity in an E. coli assay. Indeed, like AID, these proteins appear to trigger DNA mutation through dC deamination. However, each protein exhibits a distinct local target sequence specificity. The results reveal the existence of a family of potential active dC/dG mutators, with possible implications for cancer.

  • Exploration of the topological requirements of ERAD identifies Yos9p as a lectin sensor of misfolded glycoproteins in the ER lumen.

    abstract::ER-associated degradation (ERAD) of glycoproteins depends on dual recognition of protein misfolding and remodeling of the substrate's N-linked glycans. After recognition, substrates are retrotranslocated to the cytosol for proteasomal degradation. To explore the directionality of this process, we fused a highly stable...
