Abstract
Human APOBEC3H has several haplotypes and splice variants with distinct anti-HIV-1 activities, but the genetics underlying the expression of these variants are unclear. Here, the authors identify an intronic deletion in A3H haplotype II resulting in production of the most active splice variant, which is counteracted by HIV-1 protease.
