Abstract
The restrictive properties of tripartite motif-containing 5 alpha (TRIM5α) from small ruminant species have not been explored.
Here, we identify highly similar TRIM5α sequences in sheep and goats. Cells transduced with ovine TRIM5α effectively restricted
the lentivirus visna/maedi virus DNA synthesis. Proteasome inhibition in cells transduced with ovine TRIM5α restored
restricted viral DNA synthe ...

The restrictive properties of tripartite motif-containing 5 alpha (TRIM5α) from small ruminant species have not been explored.
Here, we identify highly similar TRIM5α sequences in sheep and goats. Cells transduced with ovine TRIM5α effectively restricted
the lentivirus visna/maedi virus DNA synthesis. Proteasome inhibition in cells transduced with ovine TRIM5α restored
restricted viral DNA synthesis, suggesting a conserved mechanism of restriction. Identification of TRIM5α active molecular species
may open new prophylactic strategies against lentiviral infections. [--]
