Abstract

In recent years, the connection between APOBEC3 cytosine deaminases and cancer mutagenesis has become ever more apparent. This growing awareness and lack of inhibitory drugs has created a distinct need for biochemical tools that can be used to identify and characterize potential inhibitors of this family of enzymes. In response to this challenge, we have developed a Real-time APOBEC3-mediated DNA Deamination (RADD) assay. The RADD assay provides a rapid, real-time fluorescence readout of APOBEC3 DNA deamination and serves as a crucial addition to the existing APOBEC3 biochemical and cellular toolkit. This method improves upon contemporary DNA deamination assays by offering a more rapid and quantifiable readout as well as providing a platform that is readily adaptable to a high-throughput format for inhibitor discovery. In this chapter we provide a detailed guide for the usage of the RADD assay for the characterization of APOBEC3 enzymes and potential inhibitors.
