Popis: | The tripartite motif-containing proteins (TRIMs) comprise a large family of proteins with over 70 members in humans. Recent studies have shown that TRIMs play unexpected roles in the antiviral immune responses to infections by HIV, MLV, EMCV, AIV and other viruses. There are two mechanisms used by TRIMs in the inhibition of virus infections: (1) TRIMs target the produced viruses for ubiquitination, which induces proteasome-dependent degradation, or they interact with host proteins to inhibit viral infection in various periods of the viral life cycle. (2) TRIMs activate innate immune signalling pathways, such as RLR and TLR, which induce IFN production. In this study, we will review recent studies regarding the means by which TRIMs function as inhibitors in viral infection through the mechanisms described above. |
