abstract = {APOBEC3 deaminases (A3s) provide mammals with an
anti-retroviral barrier by catalyzing dC-to-dU deamination
on viral ssDNA. Within primates, A3s have undergone a
complex evolution via gene duplications, fusions, arms race
and selection. Human APOBEC3C (hA3C) efficiently restricts
the replication of viral infectivity factor (vif)-deficient
Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIVΔvif), but for unknown
reasons, it inhibits HIV-1Δvif only weakly. In catarrhines
(Old World monkeys and apes), the A3C loop 1 displays the
conserved amino acid pair WE, while the corresponding
consensus sequence in A3F and A3D is the largely divergent
pair RK, which is also the inferred ancestral sequence for
the last common ancestor of A3C and of the C-terminal
domains of A3D and A3F in primates. Here, we report that
modifying the WE residues in hA3C loop 1 to RK leads to
stronger interactions with substrate ssDNA, facilitating
catalytic function, which results in a drastic increase in
both deamination activity and in the ability to restrict
HIV-1 and LINE-1 replication. Conversely, the modification
$hA3F_WE$ resulted only in a marginal decrease in HIV-1Δvif
inhibition. We propose that the two series of ancestral gene
duplications that generated A3C, A3D-CTD and A3F-CTD allowed
neo/subfunctionalization: A3F-CTD maintained the ancestral
RK residues in loop 1, while diversifying selection resulted
in the RK→WE modification in Old World anthropoids’ A3C,
possibly allowing for novel substrate specificity and
function.},
