Figure Lengend Snippet: Packaging yield screen and validation of NAEK incorporation (A) NAEK was incorporated into the AAV5 capsid via suppression of a TAG nonsense mutation in the Cap gene as either a substitution (s) or insertion (i). Modification at residue 374D is shown as an example. (B) Packaging yield of 20 NAEK-AAV5 vectors in a small-scale packaging assay. Data are normalized to the yield of unmodified rAAV5. Gray dashed line indicates 30% of rAAV5 yield. (C) Space-filling rendering of AAV5 VP monomer (PDB: 7kp3 ). Five selected residues for NAEK modification are highlighted in blue and labeled. (D) Schematic diagram showing the conjugation between NAEK-AAV5 and DBCO-IRDye800. Blue dots indicate NAEK. (E) Slot-blotting image of purified rAAV5, or rAAV5 carrying D374NAEK substitution (374NAEK) or T444NAEK substitution (444NAEK). The green signal is generated from antibody that detects intact AAV5 capsid, and the red signal shows the fluorescence of IRDye800; a merged image is shown at the bottom. (F) Western blotting image of the purified rAAV shown in (E). The green signal is generated from B1 antibody that detects all three AAV VP isoforms (VP1, VP2, and VP3), and the red signal shows the fluorescence of IRDye800; a merged image is shown at the bottom. (G) SYPRO Ruby protein stain image of SDS-PAGE of the purified rAAV shown in (E).
