Disease relevance of TRIM5

  • By contrast, similar chimeras containing the components of TRIM21, a slightly more distant relative of TRIM5, did not restrict HIV-1 infection [1].
  • The primate TRIM5 proteins constitute a class of restriction factors that prevent host cell infection by retroviruses from different species [2].
  • The TRIM5 proteins act early after virion entry and prevent viral reverse transcription products from accumulating [2].
