Tripartite motif (TRIM) proteins are RING E3 ubiquitin ligases defined by a shared domain structure. Several of them are implicated in rare genetic diseases, and mutations in TRIM32 and TRIM-like malin are associated with Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy R8 and Lafora disease, respectively. These two proteins are evolutionary related, share a common ancestor, and both display NHL repeats at their C-terminus. Here, we revmniew the function of these two related E3 ubiquitin ligases discussing their intrinsic and possible common pathophysiological pathways.

Abstract Background Proteins of the tripartite motif-containing (TRIM) superfamily are critical in a variety of biological processes in either innate immunity or eliminating invading pathogens, by which had been implicated in pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases including inflammatory bowel diseases. The typical structure of TRIM proteins contains a RING motif in the N-terminal end, followed by a B-box motif, a coiled-coil domain and a B30.2/PRYSPRY region in the C-terminal end led to the regulation of TGF-β anti-inflammatory cytokines, by which TRIM21 has been reported to regulate IBD negatively through inhibiting Th1/Th17 cell differentiation. Methods Since antisense oligonucleotide targeting smad7 was withdrawn from clinical trial due to insufficient efficacy, in this study, we generated TRIM21 overexpressed cell lines to study the binding of TRIM21 to smad7 as well as the regulation of consequent TGF-β receptor. Results TRIM21 significantly binds to smad7 as well as repressed levels of TGF-b type I/II receptor. SBE-luc and 3TP-luc assay showed significantly decreased activities under TRIM21 + TGF-β. Since TRIM21 contains ubiquitin ligase, PRYSPRY, TRIM21 with TGF-β significantly decreased TGFRII via UPL. These in vitro evidences that TRIM21 significantly repressed TGF-β after binding smad7 were validated with DSS-induced colitis and colitic cancer model. TRIM21 was significantly decreased in DSS-induced ulcerative colitis, whereas ameliorated colitis showed significant restoration of TRIM21 Conclusion Leading to conclusion that loss of TRIM21 led to significant bout of IBD.

Abstract Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial solid tumor in childhood. Outcome for children with high-risk NB remains unsatisfactory. Accumulating evidence suggests that tripartite motif (TRIM) family proteins express diversely in various human cancers and act as regulators of oncoproteins or tumor suppressor proteins. This review summarizes the TRIM proteins involving in NB and the underlying molecular mechanisms. We expect these new insights will provide important implications for the treatment of NB by targeting TRIM proteins.

Most tripartite motif (TRIM) family proteins are critical components of the autophagy machinery and play important roles in host defense against viral pathogens in mammals. However, the roles of TRIM proteins in autophagy and viral infection have not been studied in lower invertebrates, especially crustaceans. In this study, we first identified a TRIM50-like gene from Penaeus monodon (designated PmTRIM50-like), which, after a white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) challenge, was significantly upregulated at the mRNA and protein levels in the intestine and hemocytes. Knockdown of PmTRIM50-like led to an increase in the WSSV quantity in shrimp, while its overexpression led to a decrease compared with the controls. Autophagy can be induced by WSSV or rapamycin challenge and has been shown to play a positive role in restricting WSSV replication in P. monodon. The mRNA and protein expression levels of PmTRIM50-like significantly increased with the enhancement of rapamycin-induced autophagy. The autophagy activity induced by WSSV or rapamycin challenge could be inhibited by silencing PmTRIM50-like in shrimp. Further studies showed that rapamycin failed to induce autophagy or inhibit WSSV replication after knockdown of PmTRIM50-like. Moreover, pull-down and in vitro ubiquitination assays demonstrated that PmTRIM50-like could interact with WSSV envelope proteins and target them for ubiquitination in vitro. Collectively, this study demonstrated that PmTRIM50-like is required for autophagy and is involved in restricting the proliferation of WSSV through its ubiquitination. This is the first study to report the role of a TRIM family protein in virus infection and host autophagy in crustaceans.

The Tripartite motif (TRIM) protein family, which contains over 80 members in human sapiens, is the largest subfamily of the RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligase family. It is implicated in regulating various cellular functions, including cell cycle process, autophagy, and immune response. The dysfunction of TRIMs may lead to numerous diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Lots of studies in recent years have demonstrated that many TRIM proteins exert antiviral roles. TRIM proteins could affect viral replication by regulating the signaling pathways of antiviral innate immune responses. Besides, TRIM proteins can directly target viral components, which can lead to the degradation or functional inhibition of viral protein through degradative or non-degradative mechanisms and consequently interrupt the viral lifecycle. However, new evidence suggests that some viruses may manipulate TRIM proteins for their replication. Here, we summarize the latest discoveries on the interactions between TRIM protein and virus, especially TRIM proteins’ role in the signaling pathway of antiviral innate immune response and the direct “game” between them.

ABSTRACT One of the most interesting functions attributed to the adenovirus early region 4 open reading frame 3 (E4 ORF3) protein is its reorganization of promyelocytic leukemia (PML) protein nuclear bodies. These normally punctate structures are reorganized by E4 ORF3 into tracks that eventually surround viral replication centers. PML rearrangement is an evolutionarily conserved function of E4 ORF3, yet its cause and functional relevance remain mysteries. The E4 ORF3 protein coimmunoprecipitates with the PML protein, yet E4 ORF3 still forms tracks in cells that lack PML. The PML protein is a member of a larger protein family termed tripartite motif (TRIM) proteins. TRIM proteins contain a tripartite domain structure in proximity to their N termini that consists of a RING finger domain, followed by one or two B box domains and a C-terminal coiled-coil domain (collectively termed the RBCC domain). The order and spacing of these domains are evolutionarily conserved and thought to mediate protein-protein interactions and other functions. We implemented a proteomic approach to isolate cellular proteins that bind to E4 ORF3. We identified a novel interaction between E4 ORF3 and another TRIM family member, transcriptional intermediary factor 1 alpha (TIF1α). TIF1α functions by recruiting coactivators and/or corepressors to modulate transcription. The interaction between E4 ORF3 and TIF1α was validated by coimmunoprecipitation and binding of recombinant proteins. Indirect immunofluorescence assays demonstrated that TIF1α is reorganized into track structures that contain PML upon E4 ORF3 expression. The RBCC domain of TIF1α is sufficient for E4 ORF3-induced rearrangement, and TIF1α reorganization is conserved across adenovirus serotypes.

The cell cycle is a series of events by which cellular components are accurately segregated into daughter cells, principally controlled by the oscillating activities of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and their co-activators. In eukaryotes, DNA replication is confined to a discrete synthesis phase while chromosome segregation occurs during mitosis. During mitosis, the chromosomes are pulled into each of the two daughter cells by the coordination of spindle microtubules, kinetochores, centromeres, and chromatin. These four functional units tie chromosomes to the microtubules, send signals to the cells when the attachment is completed and the division can proceed, and withstand the force generated by pulling the chromosomes to either daughter cell. Protein ubiquitination is a post-translational modification that plays a central role in cellular homeostasis. E3 ubiquitin ligases mediate the transfer of ubiquitin to substrate proteins determining their fate. One of the largest subfamilies of E3 ubiquitin ligases is the family of the tripartite motif (TRIM) proteins, whose dysregulation is associated with a variety of cellular processes and directly involved in human diseases and cancer. In this review we summarize the current knowledge and emerging concepts about TRIMs and their contribution to the correct regulation of cell cycle, describing how TRIMs control the cell cycle transition phases and their involvement in the different functional units of the mitotic process, along with implications in cancer progression.

The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) has been recognized for regulating fundamental cellular processes, followed by induction of proteasomal degradation of target proteins, and triggers multiple signaling pathways that are crucial for numerous aspects of cellular physiology. Especially tripartite motif (TRIM) proteins, well-known E3 ubiquitin ligases, emerge as having critical roles in several antiviral signaling pathways against varying viral infections. Here we highlight recent advances in the study of antiviral roles of TRIM proteins toward influenza virus infection in terms of the modulation of pathogen recognition receptor (PRR)-mediated innate immune sensing, direct obstruction of influenza viral propagation, and participation in virus-induced autophagy.
