PcTrim prevents early infection with white spot syndrome virus by inhibiting AP1-induced endocytosis.

ABSTRACT: Viruses have evolved various strategies to achieve early infection by initiating transcription of their own early genes via host transcription factors, such as NF-κb, STAT, and AP1. How the host copes with this immune escape has been a topic of interest. Tripartite motif (TRIM) family proteins with RING-type domains have E3 ubiquitin ligase activity and are known as host restriction factors. Trim has been reported to be associated with phagocytosis and is also believed to be involved in the activation of autophagy. Preventing the virus from entering the host cell may be the most economical way for the host to resist virus infection. The role of TRIM in the early stage of virus infection in host cells remains to be further interpreted. In the current study, a crayfish TRIM with a RING-type
