Functional Replacement of the RING, B-Box 2, and Coiled-Coil Domains of Tripartite Motif 5α (TRIM5α) by Heterologous TRIM Domains
15 Jun 2006
Abstract excerpt
Tripartite motif 5alpha (TRIM5alpha) restricts some retroviruses, including human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), from infecting the cells of particular species. TRIM5alpha is a member of the TRIM family of proteins, which contain RING, B-box, coiled-coil (CC), and, in some cases, B30.2(SPRY) domains. Here we investigated the abilities of domains from TRIM proteins (TRIM6, TRIM34, and TRIM21) that do not...
