Article Title: Novel Duck Orthoreovirus σA Protein Inhibits Interferon Signaling by Impeding STAT1/STAT2 Nuclear Translocation
doi: 10.1155/tbed/8440800
Figure Lengend Snippet: σA does not affect the expression or phosphorylation of proteins related to JAK-STAT signaling pathway, nor does it interact directly with STAT1/STAT2. (A) HEK293T cells were transfected with HA-σA or an empty vector. After 24 h, cells were treated with 500 U/mL IFN-α. Total RNA and protein were extracted, and the expression levels of IFNAR1, IRF9, and JAK1 at the transcriptional and protein levels were analyzed by qPCR and western blot, respectively. (B) Under the same conditions, the transcriptional activity, expression, and phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT2 were assessed by qPCR and western blot. (C) HEK293T cells were transfected with HA-σA or an empty vector. After 24 h, cells were treated with 500 U/mL IFN-α. Total protein lysates were immunoprecipitated with anti-HA antibody and analyzed by western blot using anti-STAT antibodies.
