Retroviral Restriction Factors Fv1 and TRIM5α Act Independently and Can Compete for Incoming Virus before Reverse Transcription
11 Feb 2006
Abstract excerpt
The restriction factors Fv1 and TRIM5alpha provide dominant blocks to retroviral infection, targeting incoming capsids at a postentry, preintegration step. They both restrict N-tropic murine leukemia virus with similar specificity yet act at different points in the viral life cycle. TRIM5alpha-restricted virus is usually unable to reverse transcribe, whereas Fv1-restricted virus reverse transcribes normally. Here...
