A3G and A3F CLIP
APOBEC3G and APOBEC3F are cell-encoded restriction factors that have evolved to counteract virus infections. When packaged into HIV-1 particles, A3G and A3F impair reverse transcription and induce the hypermutation of viral DNA. We employed a next generation sequencing approach to identify the RNAs that these proteins bind in HIV-1 infected cells and HIV-1 virions. We then analysed the mechanism of packaging of APOBEC3 in detail.
