(A) Schematic representation of chimeric TRIM5α and summary of the results. Filled and open bars denote CV1 and HSC-F sequences, respectively. D, the CV-1-TRIM5α-specific 20-amino-acid duplication. The +, ±, and − symbols denote full, partial, and nosuppression, respectively. (B) Lysates of C143 cells expressing CV1-TRIM5α-tag (lane 1), HSC-F-TRIM5α-tag (lane 2), HSC-F+60tag (lane 3), CV1-60tag (lane 4), or empty vector (lane 5) were immunoprecipitated by using anti-HA antibody. The resultant immunoprecipitates were visualized by Western blotting with an antibody to HA. A representative result of three independent experiments is shown. (C) C143 cells expressing CV1-TRIM5α-tag (▪), HSC-F-TRIM5α-tag (□), CV1-60tag (▵), HSC-F+60tag (▴), or empty vector (○) were infected with VSV-pseudotyped NL43 or SIVmac239, and culture supernatants were periodically assayed for levels of p24 or p27. The datum points are means for triplicate samples with the SD. (D) MT4 cells infected with SeV expressing CV1-TRIM5α-tag (▪), HSC-F-TRIM5α-tag (□), CV1-60tag (▵), HSC-F+60tag (▴), or empty vector (○) were infected with NL43 or SIVmac239, and culture supernatants were assayed for levels of p24 and p27. The datum points are means for triplicate samples with the SD. (E) Lysates of MT4 cells infected with recombinant SeVs expressing CV1-60tag, HSC-F+60tag, HSC-delete-tag, CV1-delete-tag, HSC-insert-tag, or parental Z strain were immunoprecipitated by using anti-HA antibody. Resultant immunoprecipitates were visualized by Western blotting with an antibody to HA. A representative result of three independent experiments is shown. The relative amounts of TRIM5α protein to that of HSC-F+60tag were calculated, and means and SD values of three independent experiments are shown. (F) MT4 cells infected with SeV expressing CV1-60tag (▵), HSC-F+60tag (▴), HSC-delete-tag (asterisks with blue lines), HSC-insert-tag (•), CV1-delete-tag (diamonds with red lines), or empty vector (○) were infected with NL43 or SIVmac239, and culture supernatants were assayed for levels of p24 and p27. The datum points are means for triplicate samples with the SD.
