The tripartite motif containing (TRIM) proteins are a family of proteins that have been implicated in many biological processes including cell differentiation, apoptosis, transcriptional regulation and signaling pathways. Many TRIM proteins are upregulated by the immunologically important Type I and Type II interferons and several, including TRIM5α and TRIM19/PML, restrict viral replication. There is growing evidence that TRIMs also play an important role in the broader immune response through regulating signaling pathways such as the RIG-I pathway. In this review we discuss recent research elucidating TRIM regulation of a number of pathways important in immunity and review the latest findings relating to viral restriction by TRIMs.
三结构域包含 (TRIM) 蛋白家族是一类参与多种生物学过程的蛋白,包括细胞分化、凋亡、转录调控和信号通路。许多 TRIM 蛋白受免疫重要的 I 型和 II 型干扰素上调,包括 TRIM5α 和 TRIM19/PML,限制病毒复制。越来越多的证据表明,TRIM 还通过调节 RIG-I 途径等信号通路,在更广泛的免疫反应中发挥重要作用。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了最近阐明 TRIM 调节免疫中许多重要途径的研究,并回顾了与 TRIM 限制病毒相关的最新发现。
