A human TRIM5α B30.2/SPRY domain mutant gains the ability to restrict and prematurely uncoat B-tropic murine leukemia virus

Abstract: Human TRIM5alpha restricts N-tropic murine leukemia virus (N-MLV) but not B-tropic MLV (B-MLV) infection. Here we study B30.2/SPRY domain mutants of human TRIM5alpha that acquire the ability to inhibit B-MLV infection prior to reverse transcription without losing the ability to restrict N-MLV infection. Remarkably, these mutants gain the ability to decrease the amount of particulate B-MLV capsids in the cytosol of infected cells. In addition, these mutants gain the ability to restrict SIV(mac) and HIV-2 infect… Show more

“…3B is larger than the solvent-exposed surface of the capsid N-terminal domain monomer and is likely to recognize epitopes spanning more than one capsid monomer within the hexamer. Such an extended interaction surface with multiple epitopes is consistent with numerous functional studies (28,35,37) and with the analysis of the MLV mutants that escape restriction by TRIM5α (38), which showed that point mutations that compromise restriction are located almost 30 Å apart on the capsid surface.…”

“…Just as in the case of antigen-antibody interactions, TRIM5α mutations that affect binding are not necessarily altering direct contacts with the ligand, but rather may act by limiting the conformational space accessible to the v1 variable loop segment. For example, v1 dynamics may help explain how point mutations within the v1 of the human TRIM5α can alter its viral specificity profile or restore its activity against HIV (12,22,23,35,36).…”
