Abstract:
Tripartite motif (TRIM) 25 is a member of the TRIM E3 ubiquitin ligase family, which plays multiple roles in anti-tumor and antiviral defenses through various pathways. Its RBCC and SPRY/PRY domains work cooperatively for its oligomerization and subsequent activation of ligase activity. TRIM25 expression is regulated by several proteins and RNAs, and it functionally participates in the post-transcriptional and translational modification of antiviral regulators, such as RIG-I, ZAP, and avSGs. Conversely, the antiviral functions of TRIM25 are inhibited by viral proteins and RNAs through their interactions, as well as by the viral infection-mediated upregulation of certain miRNAs. Here, we review the antiviral functions of TRIM25 and highlight its significance regarding innate immunity, particularly in antiviral defense and viral immune evasion.

NK Cells
NK cells are a crucial part of our innate immune system, acting as the first line of defense against viral infections. These cells can recognize and kill infected cells without prior exposure to the virus, effectively slowing down the spread of infection. Additionally, NK cells produce proinflammatory...
