When the signal is noised by the multiplicative noise, it is difficult to remove. The paper presents an improved filter to remove multiplicative noise by changing the multiplicative noise to the additive noise, and then using the MLV-like to remove the additive noise. The simulation results show that the performance is better than Minimum Coefficient of Variation (MCV) filter and MLV filter. Both one-dimension and image experiments demonstrate its theoretical performance.展开更多

Cyclophilin A was independently retrotransposed into the TRIM5 loci in different species, leading to the generation of antiviral TRIM5-cyclophilin A(TRIMCyp) proteins. Previously, we found that assam macaques express a TRIMCyp chimera(am TRIMCyp), along with a TRIM5α allelic protein(am TRIM5α). Herein,we investigated the antiviral activity of am TRIMCyp and am TRIM5α individually, as well as their interaction and joint effects.am TRIMCyp showed a divergent restriction pattern from am TRIM5α. Although both proteins potently restricted the replication of HIV-1, only am TRIM5α inhibited N-MLV. Remarkably, cellular anti-HIV-1 activity increased when am TRIMCyp and am TRIM5α were coexpressed, indicating a synergistic block of HIV-1 replication. Consistently, PMBCs from heterozygous am TRIM5α/TRIMCyp showed stronger resistance to HIV-1 infection than those from am TRIM5α/TRIM5α homozygotes. The anti-HIV-1 synergistic effect was dependent on the am TRIMCyp-am TRIM5α interaction. In contrast, am TRIMCyp completely abrogated the anti-N-MLVactivity mediated by am TRIM5α, showing a dominant-negative effect, indicating that the generation of am TRIMCyp was involved in the trade-off between divergent restriction activities. Our results provide a new paradigm to study functional trade-offs mediated by allelic proteins, a theoretical basis for utilizing animal models with various TRIM5 alleles, as well as novel HIV-1 gene therapy strategies.展开更多
