When defense turns into attack: Antiviral cytidine deaminases linked to somatic mutagenesis in HPV-associated cancer

Chakravarthy, A, Henderson, S, Fenton, TR (2014) When defense turns into attack: Antiviral cytidine deaminases linked to somatic mutagenesis in HPV-associated cancer. Molecular & Cellular Oncology, 1 (1). Article Number 29914. ISSN 2372-3556. (doi:10.4161/mco.29914) (KAR id:61508)

Abstract

The APOBEC3 cytidine deaminases play an important role in innate immunity but have also emerged as mediators of somatic mutations in human cancer. We recently reported a high incidence of APOBEC-mediated driver mutations in human papillomavirus-associated cancer, suggesting a key role for these enzymes in the development of such tumors.
