Human TRIM5 alpha restricts N-tropic murine leukemia virus (N-MLV) but not B-tropic MLV (B-MLV) infection. Here we study B30.2/SPRY domain mutants of human TRIM5 alpha that acquire the ability to inhibit B-MLV infection prior to reverse transcription Without losing the ability to restrict N-MLV infection. Remarkably, these Mutants gain the ability to decrease the amount of particulate B-MIV capsids in the cytosol of infected cells. In addition, these mutants gain the ability to restrict SIVmac and HIV-2 infection. B-MLV and SIVmac infections were blocked by the mutant TRIM5 alpha proteins prior to reverse transcription. Thus, the range of retroviruses restricted by human TRIM5a can be increased by changes in the B30.2/SPRY domain, which also result in the ability to cause premature uncoating of the restricted retroviral capsid.
