Tripartite motif (TRIM) proteins
are a versatile family of ubiquitin E3 ligases involved in a multitude
of cellular processes. Studies in recent years have demonstrated that
many TRIM proteins play central roles in the host defense against viral infection. While some TRIM proteins
directly antagonize distinct steps in the viral life cycle, others
regulate signal transduction pathways induced by innate immune sensors,
thereby modulating antiviral cytokine responses. Furthermore, TRIM proteins have been implicated in virus-induced autophagy and autophagy-mediated viral clearance. Given the important role of TRIM proteins
in antiviral restriction, it is not surprising that several viruses
have evolved effective maneuvers to neutralize the antiviral action of
specific TRIM proteins. Here, we describe the major antiviral mechanisms of TRIM proteins as well as viral strategies to escape TRIM-mediated host immunity. KEYWORDS:
TRIM protein; antiviral restriction; innate immunity; interferon; virus infection PMID: 29949725
