Deamination hotspots among APOBEC3 family members are defined by both target site sequence context and ssDNA secondary structure.

ABSTRACT: The human apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide-like 3 (APOBEC3, A3) family member proteins can deaminate cytosines in single-strand (ss) DNA, which restricts human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), retrotransposons, and other viruses such as hepatitis B virus, but can cause a mutator phenotype in many cancers. While structural information exists for several A3 proteins, the precise details regarding deamination target selection are not fully understood. Here, we report the first parallel, comparative analysis of site selection of A3 deamination using six of the seven purified A3 member enzymes, oligonucleotides having 5'TC3' or 5'CT3' dinucleotide target sites, and different flanking bases within diverse DNA secondary structures. A3A, A3F and A3H were observed to have strong preferences toward the TC target flanked by A or T, while all examined A3 proteins did not show a preference for a TC target flanked by a G. We observed that the TC target was strongly preferred in ssDNA regions rather than dsDNA, loop or bulge regions, with flanking bases influencing the degree of preference. CT was also shown to be a potential deamination target. Taken together, our observations provide new insights into A3 enzyme target site selection and how A3 mutagenesis impacts mutation rates.

Project description:BackgroundSecondary use of health data has reached unequaled potential to improve health systems governance, knowledge, and clinical care. Transparency regarding this secondary use is frequently cited as necessary to address deficits in trust and conditional support and to increase patient awareness.ObjectiveWe aimed to review the current published literature to identify different stakeholders' perspectives and recommendations on what information patients and members of the public want to learn about the secondary use of health data for research purposes and how and in which situations.MethodsUsing PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines, we conducted a scoping review using Medline, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and PubMed databases to locate a broad range of studies published in English or French until November 2022. We included articles reporting a stakeholder's perspective or recommendations of what information patients and members of the public want to learn about the secondary use of health data for research purposes and how or in which situations. Data were collected and analyzed with an iterative thematic approach using NVivo.ResultsOverall, 178 articles were included in this scoping review. The type of information can be divided into generic and specific content. Generic content includes information on governance and regulatory frameworks, technical aspects, and scientific aims. Specific content includes updates on the use of one's data, return of results from individual tests, information on global results, information on data sharing, and how to access one's data. Recommendations on how to communicate the information focused on frequency, use of various supports, formats, and wording. Methods for communication generally favored broad approaches such as nationwide publicity campaigns, mainstream and social media for generic content, and mixed approaches for specific content including websites, patient portals, and face-to-face encounters. Content should be tailored to the individual as much as possible with regard to length, avoidance of technical terms, cultural competence, and level of detail. Finally, the review outlined 4 major situations where communication was deemed necessary: before a new use of data, when new test results became available, when global research results were released, and in the advent of a breach in confidentiality.ConclusionsThis review highlights how different types of information and approaches to communication efforts may serve as the basis for achieving greater transparency. Governing bodies could use the results: to elaborate or evaluate strategies to educate on the potential benefits; to provide some knowledge and control over data use as a form of reciprocity; and as a condition to engage citizens and build and maintain trust. Future work is needed to assess which strategies achieve the greatest outreach while striking a balance between meeting information needs and use of resources.
