APOBEC3 proteins mediate the clearance of foreign DNA from human cells

Bacteria evolved restriction endonucleases to prevent interspecies DNA transmission and bacteriophage infection. Here, we show that human cells possess an analogous mechanism. APOBEC3A is induced by interferon following DNA detection, and it deaminates foreign double-stranded DNA cytidines to uridin...
