The host cell factors TRIM5{alpha}hu and Fv-1 restrict N-tropic murine leukemia virus (N-MLV) infection at an early postentry step before or after reverse transcription, respectively. Interestingly, the identity of residue 110 of the MLV capsid determines susceptibility to both TRIM5{alpha}hu and Fv-1. In this study, we investigate the fate of the MLV capsid in cells expressing either the TRIM5{alpha}hu or Fv-1 restriction factor. The expression of TRIM5{alpha}hu, but not Fv-1, specifically promoted the premature conversion of particulate N-MLV capsids within infected cells to soluble capsid proteins. The TRIM5{alpha}hu-mediated disassembly of particulate N-MLV capsids was dependent upon residue 110 of the viral capsid. Furthermore, the deletion or disruption of TRIM5{alpha}hu domains necessary for potent N-MLV restriction completely abrogated the disappearance of particulate N-MLV capsids observed with wild-type TRIM5{alpha}hu. These results suggest that premature disassembly of the viral capsid contributes to the restriction of N-MLV infection by TRIM5{alpha}hu, but not by Fv-1.
