5-methyl cytidine has been indicated in the controlling mechanism for the genetic change, which leads to cancer. Human APOBEC3A (A3A), a polynucleotide cytidine deaminase (PCD) with specificity for single stranded DNA, can extensively deaminate human nuclear DNA. It was discovered that A3A among all human PCDs can deaminate 5-methylcytidine in a variety of single stranded DNA substrates both in vitro and in transfected cells almost as efficiently as cytidine itself. As 5MeCpG deamination hotspots characterize many genes associated with cancer it was made suggestion that A3A is a major player in the onset of cancer.

Curator's Comment: As several TP53 CpG methylation sites are mutational hotspots in cancer, an oligodeoxynucleotide corresponding to part of exon 8 was synthesized with 5-methylcytidine (5MeC) incorporated at two known sites of methylation in codons 273 and 282. Following incubation with purified myc-His6-tagged A3A (human APOBEC3A (A3A), a polynucleotide cytidine deaminase (PCD)) and recovery of products by standard PCR, both 5MeC and C were readily deaminated in a comparable manner. Given that 5MeC is deaminated by A3A the singularity of 5MeCpG mutation hotspots in cancer probably has more to do with the relative efficiency of T:G mismatch repair compared to highly efficient U:G repair initiated by UNG.
