Abstract
Tripartite motif (TRIM) 25 is a member of the TRIM E3 ubiquitin ligase family, which plays multiple roles in anti-tumor and antiviral defenses through various pathways. Its RBCC and SPRY/PRY domains work cooperatively for its oligomerization and subsequent activation of ligase activity. TRIM25 expression is regulated by several proteins and RNAs, and it functionally participates in the post-transcriptional and translational modification of antiviral regulators, such as RIG-I, ZAP, and avSGs. Conversely, the antiviral functions of TRIM25 are inhibited by viral proteins and RNAs through their interactions, as well as by the viral infection-mediated upregulation of certain miRNAs. Here, we review the antiviral functions of TRIM25 and highlight its significance regarding innate immunity, particularly in antiviral defense and viral immune evasion.
期刊介绍:
Viruses (ISSN 1999-4915) is an open access journal which provides an advanced forum for studies of viruses. It publishes reviews, regular research papers, communications, conference reports and short notes. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. We also encourage the publication of timely reviews and commentaries on topics of interest to the virology community and feature highlights from the virology literature in the ''News and Views'' section. Electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material.
