Abstract excerpt
The anti-retroviral restriction factor TRIM5alpha contains the RING domain, which is frequently observed in E3 ubiquitin ligases. It was previously proposed that TRIM5alpha restricts human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) via proteasome-dependent and -independent pathways. Here we examined the effects of RING domain mutations on retrovirus restriction by TRIM5alpha in various combinations of virus and host...
