Effects of Korean Red Ginseng and HAART on vif Gene in 10 Long-Term Slow Progressors over 20 Years: High Frequency of Deletions and G-to-A Hypermutation

Figure 3

Positions of the premature stop codons in the 15 vif genes from five patients. All stop codons resulted from GG → GA or GG → AG changes. APOBEC3G exhibits an intrinsic preference for the second cytosine in a 5′CC dinucleotide motif leading to 5′GG-to-AG mutations [38].
