  • cytoplasmic bodies
  • ability of TRIM5 to shuttle into and out of the nucleus
  • basic FUNCTION
  • may act as an E3 ubiquitin ligase
  • potent inhibitor of infection by diverse retroviruses, modestly inhibits HIV1 strain carrying a mutation in the cyclophilin binding loop (Zhang 2006)
  • is an intrinsic immunity factor against HIV-1 infection, and arginine at 437 aa in SPRY domain for the late restriction is species-specific
  • a single amino acid substitution of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 capsid protein affects viral sensitivity to TRIM5
  • promotes innate immune signalling and that this activity is amplified by retroviral infection and interaction with the capsid lattice
  • retrovirus restriction factor TRIM5 blocks post-entry infection of retroviruses in a species-specific manner
  • novel function for TRIM5 as a pattern recognition receptor in innate immune recognition
  • TRIM5 blocks retroviral replication after cell entry, and species-specific differences in its activity are determined by sequence variations within the C-terminal B30.2/PRYSPRY domain
  • importance of TRIM5 recruitment to the Plasma membrane for TRIM5-mediated innate immune sensing and restriction of retroviral infection
  • specific cytoskeleton structures involved in TRIM5 innate antiretroviral defenses
  • TRIM5 acts as a selective autophagy receptor, and delivered its cognate cytosolic target, a viral capsid protein, for autophagic degradation
  • is an antiviral factor that can greatly limit HIV-1 infection
  • is an interferon-inducible retroviral restriction factor that prevents infection by inducing the abortive disassembly of capsid cores recognized by its C-terminal PRY/SPRY domain
  • in the absence of a restriction-sensitive virus, TRIM5 is degraded by both proteasomal and autophagic degradation pathways
  • link between TRIM5 and components of the autophagosome
  • is a RING domain E3 ubiquitin ligase with potent antiretroviral function
  • TRIM5 initiates innate immune signaling and orchestrates disassembly of the viral particle
  • is an interferon inducible restriction factor which contributes to intrinsic defense against HIV infection by targeting the HIV capsid protein CA

  • unique function of TRIM5 is dependent on its association with the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme complex UBE2N-UBE2V1 and subsequent activation of the MAP3K7 complex and downstream genes involved in innate immune responses
  • TRIM5 is a SUMO1 and SUMO2 substrate, and SUMO machinery is involved in TRIM5-mediated retroviral restriction
  • MAP1LC3B binds to TRIM5 via the alpha-helical coiled-coil region
