Control of Viral Infectivity by Tripartite Motif Proteins [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Gene Therapy, 2005
It is of great interest to understand the molecular details of the pathways that constitute species barriers to viral infection. The tripartite motif protein TRIM5alpha has emerged as an important mediator of species-specific retroviral replication and innate immunity. This review considers the role of TRIM5alpha as an antiviral protein in mammals. The

Emerging roles of tripartite motif family proteins (TRIMs) in breast cancer

open access: yesCancer Medicine
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignant tumor worldwide. Despite enormous progress made in the past decades, the underlying mechanisms of BC remain further illustrated. Recently, TRIM family proteins proved to be engaged in BC progression through

InTRIMsic immunity: Positive and negative regulation of immune signaling by tripartite motif proteins. [PDF]

open access: yesCytokine Growth Factor Rev, 2014
During the immune response, striking the right balance between positive and negative regulation is critical to effectively mount an anti-microbial defense while preventing detrimental effects from exacerbated immune activation. Intra-cellular immune signaling is tightly regulated by various post-translational modifications, which allow for this dynamic

TRIM32 and Malin in Neurological and Neuromuscular Rare Diseases

open access: yesCells, 2021
Tripartite motif (TRIM) proteins are RING E3 ubiquitin ligases defined by a shared domain structure. Several of them are implicated in rare genetic diseases, and mutations in TRIM32 and TRIM-like malin are associated with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy ...

TRIM5α self-assembly and compartmentalization of the HIV-1 viral capsid

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Tripartite-motif containing (TRIM) proteins modulate cellular responses to viral infection. Here the authors use molecular dynamics simulations to demonstrate that TRIM5α uses a two-dimensional lattice hopping mechanism to aggregate on the HIV capsid ...

TRIMming down Mycobacterium tuberculosis replication: TRIM32 is required for bacterial ubiquitination and autophagy induction in macrophages

open access: yesAutophagy Reports, 2023
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) promotes its intracellular persistence by subverting defense mechanisms, such as autophagy. Remarkably, enhancing autophagy is sufficient to trigger intracellular Mtb killing and effective immune response, making this ...

Human TRIM gene expression in response to interferons. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
BackgroundTripartite motif (TRIM) proteins constitute a family of proteins that share a conserved tripartite architecture. The recent discovery of the anti-HIV activity of TRIM5alpha in primate cells has stimulated much interest in the potential role of ...

Role of the Tripartite Motif Protein 27 in Cancer Development [PDF]

open access: yesJNCI: Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 2012
The tripartite motif family protein 27 (TRIM27) is a transcriptional repressor that interacts with, and attenuates senescence induction by, the retinoblastoma-associated protein (RB1). High expression of TRIM27 was noted in several human cancer types including breast and endometrial cancer, where elevated TRIM27 expression predicts poor prognosis. Here,
