Abstract excerpt
The intracellular restriction factor TRIM5alpha, inhibits infection by numerous retroviruses in a species-specific manner. The best characterized example of this restriction is the TRIM5alpha protein from rhesus macaques (rhTRIM5alpha), which potently inhibits HIV-1 infection. TRIM5alpha localizes to cytoplasmic assemblies of protein referred to as cytoplasmic bodies, though the role that these bodies play in...
