Abstract excerpt
Recent studies have revealed the contribution of TRIM5alpha to retrovirus restriction in cells from a variety of primate species. TRIM5alpha consists of a tripartite motif (the RBCC domain) followed by a B30.2 domain. The B30.2 domain is thought to be involved in determination of restriction specificity and contains three variable regions. To investigate the relationship between the phylogeny of primate...
