Abstract excerpt
TRIM5alpha is a cytoplasmic protein that mediates a post-entry block to infection by some retroviruses. TRIM5alpha contains a tripartite motif (TRIM), which includes RING, B-box 2, and coiled-coil domains, and a C-terminal B30.2 (SPRY) domain. We investigated the contribution of the RING and B-box 2 domains to the antiretroviral activity of rhesus monkey TRIM5alpha (TRIM5alpharh), which potently restricts...
