A trove of antiviral TRIM family E3 ligases in reptiles
2025-06-25
Abstract excerpt
Scaled reptiles (squamates) naturally encounter orthoflaviviruses and in some cases robustly resist infection. To identify antiviral defenses encoded in reptile genomes, we screened a green iguana cDNA library and discovered a reptilian TRIM-family E3 ubiquitin ligase that reduces dengue virus replication ∼10,000-fold in human cells. Experimental evolution identified orthoflavivirus capsid as a key determinant of...
