(Recombinant APOBEC3A (A3A) SDS-PAGE gel Protein was run on a 10% SDS-PAGE gel and stained with Coomassie blue. MW: 23 kDa)
Testing Data
(HPLC-based DNA cleavage assay for APOBEC3A activity. A single-stranded DNA oligonucleotide bearing one deoxycytidine is incubated with recombinant APOBEC3A, leading to deamination of deoxycytidine, a dC dU conversion. Incubation of dU bearing oligonucleotide with uracil-DNA glycosylase creates an abasic site that is then highly susceptible to base-mediated strand cleavage. (A.) Intact, deoxycytidine-containing substrate oligonucleotide with an HPLC retention time of 9 minutes. (B.) APOBEC3A-deaminated and base-cleaved ssDNA oligo. Cleavage products have retention times of 8.1 and 8.4 minutes.)
Background: Apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide-like 3A, also known as APOBEC3A, or A3A is a gene of the APOBEC3 family found in humans, non-human primates, and some other mammals. It is a single-domain DNA cytidine deaminase with antiviral effects. While other members of the family such as APOBEC3G are believed to act by editing ssDNA by removing an amino group from cytosine in DNA, introducing a cytosine to uracil change which can ultimately lead to a cytosine to thymine mutation, one study suggests that APOBEC3A can inhibit parvoviruses by another mechanism. The cellular function of APOBEC3A is likely to be the destruction of foreign DNA through extensive deamination of cytosine.

Product Notes
The APOBEC3 (Catalog #AAA389331) is a Recombinant Protein produced from E Coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "APOBEC3A (A3A), Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
