TRIM5α Disrupts the Structure of Assembled HIV-1 Capsid Complexes <i>In Vitro</i>
22 Apr 2010
Abstract excerpt
The host restriction factor TRIM5alpha provides intrinsic defense against retroviral infections in mammalian cells. TRIM5alpha blocks infection by targeting the viral capsid after entry but prior to completion of reverse transcription, but whether this interaction directly alters the structure of the viral capsid is unknown. A previous study reported that rhesus macaque TRIM5alpha protein stably associates with...
