Human Tripartite Motif 5α Domains Responsible for Retrovirus Restriction Activity and Specificity
1 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
The tripartite motif 5alpha protein (TRIM5alpha) is one of several factors expressed by mammalian cells that inhibit retrovirus replication. Human TRIM5alpha (huTRIM5alpha) inhibits infection by N-tropic murine leukemia virus (N-MLV) but is inactive against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). However, we show that replacement of a small segment in the carboxy-terminal B30.2/SPRY domain of huTRIM5alpha...
