Abstract
Retroviral capsids can be recognized and degraded by a host protein, Trim5α. A recent study in Nature (Pertel et al., 2011) shows that, upon sensing of the retrovirus capsid lattice, Trim5α generates free ubiquitin chains that activate the TAK1 kinase and downstream innate immune response genes.Entities:
