Generation of CRFK cells expressing chimeric TRIM5 proteins. (a) Alignment of bovine TRIM5 and human TRIM5α. The protein sequences of bovine TRIM5 and human TRIM5α were aligned using MEGA X. The domains of TRIM5 were indicated in yellow (RING domain), green (B-box domain), blue (Coiled-coil domain), and pink (SPRY domain). (b) Schematic representation of chimeric TRIM5 molecules generated in this study. The chimera TRIM5 molecule “HuBo” consists of the RING, B-box, and Coiled-coil (RBCC) domains of human TRIM5α and the SPRY domain of bovine TRIM5. The chimeric TRIM5 molecule “BoHu” consists of the RBCC domain of bovine TRIM5 and SPRY domain of human TRIM5α. A truncated version of bovine TRIM5 lacking the SPRY domain was termed “delSPRY.” (c) Expression of each HA-tagged TRIM5 protein in CRFK cells was determined using Western blotting. The cellular lysate of unmodified CRFK cells was used as a negative control (empty).
