Abstract
Tripartite motif protein (TRIM) 5alpha is a restriction factor of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 in Old World monkey cell. It was found that both naturally occurring and artificial TRIM5alpha variants lacking the SPRY domain could silence TRIM5alpha activity. Specifically, the artificial TRIM5alpha mutant could suppress TRIM5alpha activity of various primate species with even higher efficiency than could small interfering RNAs. The findings indicate that TRIM5alpha variants lacking the SPRY domain are useful for silencing TRIM5alpha activity.Entities:
