7 Questions
What is the mechanism by which APOBEC3G (A3G) cytidine deaminase functions?
Site-specific deamination
Which process involves the insertion or deletion of nucleotides guided by RNA?
Exon shuffling
How does APOBEC3G (A3G) cytidine deaminase contribute to genetic variation?
Through site-specific deamination of cytidines
Which process involves altering specific nucleotide sites in RNA molecules?
RNA Editing
In the context of genetic mutations, what is a characteristic of exon shuffling?
Results in the recombination of genetic material from different genes
How does Guide RNA directed insertion or deletion differ from APOBEC3G (A3G) cytidine deaminase activity?
Guide RNA directs nucleotide changes, while APOBEC3G deaminates cytidines.
Which enzymatic activity is NOT associated with APOBEC3G (A3G) cytidine deaminase?
Deaminating adenines in RNA molecules
