Abstract
Tripartite motif (TRIM) proteins have been found in a variety of physiological processes; however, the role of TRIM proteins in host defense to viral infection is emerging in recent years. TRIM proteins have been shown to restrict viruses at various stages of viral life cycle through common and distinct mechanisms. TRIM proteins restrict viral infection by directly interacting with viral proteins. Furthermore, TRIM proteins regulate innate immunity and adaptive immunity to impede viral infection. To subvert host defense, viruses also evolve a new evasion strategy by targeting TRIM proteins. In this review, we highlight recent advances which deepen our understanding of the role of TRIM proteins in host defense and the diverse antiviral mechanisms of TRIM proteins.
