Abstract excerpt
Rhesus macaque tripartite motif (TRIM)5alpha potently inhibits early stages of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 replication, while the human orthologue has little effect on this virus. We used PCR-based random mutagenesis to construct a large library of human TRIM5alpha variants containing mutations in the PRYSPRY domain. We then applied a functional screen to isolate human cells made resistant to HIV-1...
