Biological function summary
APOBEC3G acts as a host defense mechanism against retroviral infections particularly HIV-1. It incorporates into budding virions where it exerts its antiviral effect. A3G functions within the APOBEC protein family complex that participates in innate immunity. This antiviral activity helps to inhibit viral replication by inducing lethal mutations in the viral genome.
Pathways
APOBEC3G is vital in the HIV-1 life cycle disruption pathway. It interacts with other cellular factors such as the viral protein Vif which counters APOBEC3G’s activity by targeting it for proteasomal degradation. The protein is also involved in the regulation of gene expression pathways linked to innate immune responses.

Function
DNA deaminase (cytidine deaminase) which acts as an inhibitor of retrovirus replication and retrotransposon mobility via deaminase-dependent and -independent mechanisms (PubMed : 12808465, PubMed : 16527742, PubMed : 17121840, PubMed : 18288108, PubMed : 18849968, PubMed : 19153609, PubMed : 21123384, PubMed : 22791714, PubMed : 25542899). Exhibits potent antiviral activity against Vif-deficient HIV-1 (PubMed : 12167863, PubMed : 12859895, PubMed : 14557625, PubMed : 20219927, PubMed : 21835787, PubMed : 22807680, PubMed : 22915799, PubMed : 23097438, PubMed : 23152537, PubMed : 31397674). After the penetration of retroviral nucleocapsids into target cells of infection and the initiation of reverse transcription, it can induce the conversion of cytosine to uracil in the minus-sense single-strand viral DNA, leading to G-to-A hypermutations in the subsequent plus-strand viral DNA (PubMed : 12808465, PubMed : 12808466, PubMed : 12809610, PubMed : 12970355, PubMed : 14528300, PubMed : 22807680). The resultant detrimental levels of mutations in the proviral genome, along with a deamination-independent mechanism that works prior to the proviral integration, together exert efficient antiretroviral effects in infected target cells (PubMed : 12808465, PubMed : 12808466, PubMed : 12809610, PubMed : 12970355, PubMed : 14528300). Selectively targets single-stranded DNA and does not deaminate double-stranded DNA or single- or double-stranded RNA (PubMed : 12808465, PubMed : 12809610, PubMed : 12970355, PubMed : 14528300). Exhibits antiviral activity also against simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs), hepatitis B virus (HBV), equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV), xenotropic MuLV-related virus (XMRV) and simian foamy virus (SFV) (PubMed : 15031497, PubMed : 16378963, PubMed : 18448976, PubMed : 19458006, PubMed : 20335265). May inhibit the mobility of LTR and non-LTR retrotransposons (PubMed : 16527742).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the cytidine and deoxycytidylate deaminase family.
Post-translational modifications
(Microbial infection) Following infection by HIV-1, ubiquitinated by a cullin-5-RING E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex (ECS complex) hijacked by the HIV-1 Vif protein, leading to its degradation (PubMed:14528300, PubMed:14528301, PubMed:19887642, PubMed:22190037, PubMed:23300442, PubMed:31253590, PubMed:36754086, PubMed:37419875). Deubiquitinated by USP49; leading to stabilization (PubMed:31397674).. Phosphorylation at Thr-32 reduces its binding to HIV-1 Vif and subsequent ubiquitination and degradation thus promoting its antiviral activity.
