Abstract excerpt
Recent findings suggested that the SUMO-interacting motifs (SIMs) present in the human TRIM5α (TRIM5α(hu)) protein play an important role in the ability of TRIM5α(hu) to restrict N-MLV. Here we explored the role of SIMs in the ability of rhesus TRIM5α (TRIM5α(rh)) to restrict HIV-1, and found that TRIM5α(rh) SIM mutants IL376KK (SIM1mut) and VI405KK (SIM2mut) completely lost their ability to block HIV-1...
