Abstract excerpt
The TRIM5α protein from rhesus macaques (rhTRIM5α) mediates a potent inhibition of HIV-1 infection via a mechanism that involves the abortive disassembly of the viral core. We have demonstrated that alpha-helical elements within the Linker 2 (L2) region, which lies between the SPRY domain and the Coiled-Coil domain, influence the potency of restriction. Here, we utilize single-molecule FRET analysis to reveal...
