Editing of the TRIM5 gene decreases the permissiveness of human T lymphocytic cells to HIV-1
2020-12-08
Abstract excerpt
TRIM5α is a cytoplasmic antiretroviral effector upregulated by type I interferons (IFN-I). We previously showed that two points mutations, R332G/R335G, in the retroviral capsid-binding region confer human TRIM5α the capacity to target and strongly restrict HIV-1 upon over-expression of the mutated protein. Here, we used CRISPR-Cas9-mediated homology-directed repair (HDR) to introduce these two mutations in the end...
