TRIMCyps are anti-retroviral proteins that have arisen independently in New World and Old World primates. All TRIMCyps comprise a CypA domain fused to the tripartite domains of TRIM5α but they have distinct lentiviral specificities, conferring HIV-1 restriction in New World owl monkeys and HIV-2 restriction in Old World rhesus macaques. Here we provide evidence that Asian macaque TRIMCyps have acquired changes that switch restriction specificity between different lentiviral lineages, resulting in species-specific alleles that target different viruses. Structural, thermodynamic and viral restriction analysis suggests that a single mutation in the Cyp domain, R69H, occurred early in macaque TRIMCyp evolution, expanding restriction specificity to the lentiviral lineages found in African green monkeys, sooty mangabeys and chimpanzees. Subsequent mutations have enhanced restriction to particular viruses but at the cost of broad specificity. We reveal how specificity is altered by a scaffold mutation, E143K, that modifies surface electrostatics and propagates conformational changes into the active site. Our results suggest that lentiviruses may have been important pathogens in Asian macaques despite the fact that there are no reported lentiviral infections in current macaque populations. Retroviruses have constantly been infecting mammals throughout their evolution, causing them to evolve defensive mechanisms to protect themselves. One of these mechanisms utilises intracellular antiviral molecules referred to as restriction factors. Restriction factor sequences have changed through primate evolution, suggesting an ongoing battle between retroviruses and their hosts as described by the Red Queen hypothesis. TRIM5 is an important restriction factor able to protect some monkeys, but not humans, from HIV infection. Certain monkeys have modified their TRIM5 genes by swapping the virus binding B30.2 domain with a cyclophilin A domain inserted into the TRIM5 locus by retrotransposition. This leads to expression of a TRIMCyp protein with antiviral activity against viruses, such as HIV-1, that recruit cyclophilins. It appears that cyclophilin makes a particularly flexible virus-binding domain able to restrict divergent lentiviruses from primates as well as cats. Here we characterise the molecular details of Cyclophilin-Capsid interactions focusing on TRIMCyp proteins from Macaca Fascicularis. Using a structure/function approach we can show the molecular details of how adaptive changes in the TRIMCyp sequence switch specificity between members of different primate lentiviral lineages. Mapping these changes onto the macaque phylogeny reveals a history of TRIMCyp evolution that directs restriction to a variety of diverse lentiviruses.
