The E3 ligase TRIM7 has emerged as a critical player in viral infection and pathogenesis.We identify norovirus and SARS-CoV-2 proteins, and physiological proteins, as new TRIM7 substrates.TRIM7 could trigger the ubiquitination and degradation of these substrates, possibly representing a new Gln/C-degron pathway. These findings unveil a common recognition mode by TRIM7, providing the foundation for further mechanistic characterization of antiviral and cellular functions of TRIM7.
