Functional Evidence for the Involvement of Microtubules and Dynein Motor Complexes in TRIM5α-Mediated Restriction of Retroviruses
6 Mar 2014
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: The tripartite motif (TRIM) family of proteins includes the TRIM5α antiretroviral restriction factor. TRIM5α from many Old World and some New World monkeys can restrict the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), while human TRIM5α restricts N-tropic murine leukemia virus (N-MLV). TRIM5α forms highly dynamic cytoplasmic bodies (CBs) that associate with and translocate on microtubules. However,...
