Abstract Replication and transcription activator (Rta), a key protein expressed by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) during the immediate-early stage of the lytic cycle, is responsible for the activation of viral lytic genes. In this study, GST-pulldown and coimmunoprecipitation assays showed that Rta interacts in vitro and in vivo with TRIM5alpha, a host factor known to be involved in the restriction of retroviral infections. Confocal microscopy results revealed that Rta colocalizes with TRIM5alpha in the nucleus during lytic progression. The interaction involves 190 amino acids in the N-terminal of Rta and the RING domain in TRIM5alpha, and it was further found that TRIM5alpha acts as an E3 ubiquitin ligase to promote Rta ubiquitination. Overexpression of TRIM5alpha reduced the transactivating capabilities of Rta, while reducing TRIM5alpha expression enhanced EBV lytic protein expression and DNA replication. Taken together, these results point to a critical role for TRIM5alpha in attenuating EBV lytic progression through the targeting of Rta for ubiquitination, and suggest that the restrictive capabilities of TRIM5alpha may go beyond retroviral infections.
