Editing of the Human TRIM5 Gene to Introduce Mutations with the Potential to Inhibit HIV-1
2017-09-06
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The type I interferon (IFN-I)-inducible human restriction factor TRIM5α inhibits the infection of human cells by specific nonhuman retroviruses, such as N-MLV and EIAV, but does not generally target HIV-1. However, the introduction of two aminoacid substitutions, R332G and R355G, in the human TRIM5α (huTRIM5α) domain responsible for retroviral capsid recognition leads to efficient HIV-1 restrict...
