TRIM5 structure, HIV-1 capsid recognition, and innate immune signaling

MG Grütter, J Luban - Current opinion in virology, 2012 - Elsevier
TRIM5 is a restriction factor that blocks retrovirus infection soon after the virion core enters
the cell cytoplasm. Restriction activity is targeted to the virion core via recognition of the …

Functional replacement of the RING, B-box 2, and coiled-coil domains of tripartite motif 5α (TRIM5α) by heterologous TRIM domains

X Li, Y Li, M Stremlau, W Yuan, B Song… - Journal of …, 2006 - Am Soc Microbiol
Tripartite motif 5α (TRIM5α) restricts some retroviruses, including human immunodeficiency
virus type 1 (HIV-1), from infecting the cells of particular species. TRIM5α is a member of the …
