In owl monkeys, the typical retroviral restriction factor of primates, TRIM5α, is replaced by TRIMCyp. TRIMCyp consists of the TRIM5 RING, B-box 2 and coiled-coil domains, as well as the intervening linker regions, fused with cyclophilin A. TRIMCyp restricts infection of retroviruses, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), with capsids that can bind cyclophilin...
The retroviral restriction factors, TRIM5α and TRIMCyp, consist of RING and B-box 2 domains separated by a coiled coil from carboxy-terminal domains. These carboxy-terminal domains (the B30.2(SPRY) domain in TRIM5α and the cyclophilin A domain in TRIMCyp) recognize the retroviral capsid. Here we show that some B-box 2 changes in TRIM5α, but not in TRIMCyp, resulted in decreased human immunodeficiency...
The tripartite motif (TRIM) protein, TRIM5α, restricts some retroviruses, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1), from infecting the cells of particular species. TRIM proteins contain RING, B-box, coiled-coil and, in some cases, B30.2(SPRY) domains. We investigated the properties of human TRIM family members closely related to TRIM5. These TRIM proteins, like TRIM5α, assembled into homotrimers...
The coiled-coil domain of the tripartite motif (TRIM) family protein TRIM5α is required for trimerization and function as an antiretroviral restriction factor. Unlike the coiled-coil regions of other related TRIM proteins, the coiled coil of TRIM5α is not sufficient for multimerization. The linker region between the coiled-coil and B30.2 domains is necessary for efficient TRIM5α trimerization. Most...
TRIM5α and TRIMCyp are retroviral restriction factors that, like other members of the tripartite motif (TRIM) family, contain RING, B-box 2 and coiled-coil domains. We found that both proteins are rapidly turned over, with half-lives of 50–60 min. Polyubiquitylation and rapid degradation of TRIM5α depended upon intact RING and B-box 2 domains. A chimera consisting of monkey TRIM5α with a RING domain...
The nucleopolyhedrovirus CfDEFNPV contains a gene encoding a viral protein, which accumulates as bipyramidal inclusion bodies (spindles) in the cytoplasm of infected cells. The spindles appear as early as 24 h postinfection, approximately 1 day earlier than viral occlusion bodies (OBs). Purification and characterization of the spindle protein was complicated by the fact that the OBs copurified with...
