POLYMORPHISM IN MACAQUE ANTI-RETROVIRAL FACTOR TRIM5ALPHA

这个子项目是利用资源的许多研究子项目之一。 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。对子项目的主要支持 子项目的首席调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括美国国立卫生研究院的其他来源。为子项目列出的总成本可能 表示该子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 不是由NCRR赠款提供给次级项目或次级项目工作人员的直接资金。 灵长类动物的TRIM5pha蛋白介导了一种有效的进入后阻断逆转录病毒感染的机制。我们正在研究灵长类动物TRIM5pha的群体遗传学，并利用这一知识开发更好的模型来研究HIV-1的复制和发病机制，并确定在SIV感染过程中TRIM5pha的多态对不同结果的影响。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. The primate TRIM5alpha protein mediates a potent, post-entry block to retroviral infection. We are studying the population-genetics of primate TRIM5alpha and using this knowledge to develop better models for HIV-1 replication and pathogenesis, and in ascertaining the effects of TRIM5alpha polymorphism on differential outcome during SIV infection.
