Figure Legend Snippet: IFI35 ubiquitinates HNF4a in TRIM21-dependent manner. A Cell lysates were immunoprecipitated using an anti-TRIM21 antibody. B Detection of HBV DNAs by Southern blot from HepG2 and HepG2-TRIM21-KO cells. Expression levels of HNF4α, IFI35 and TRIM21 in HepG2-TRIM21-KO cells compared to parental HepG2 cells (Control) were assessed by Western blot. HBV DNA levels of HepG2 and HepG2-TRIM21-KO cells were quantified in graph (bottom). C Quantification of HNF4α protein levels in HepG2 and HepG2-TRIM21 knockout (KO) cells transfected with increasing amounts of myc-IFI35. HNF4α levels were determined by immunoblotting and quantified relative to the vector control. Data represent mean ± SD from three independent experiments. D Secreted HBeAg and HBsAg levels were measured by ELISA in HepG2 and HepG2-TRIM21-KO cells transfected with increasing amounts of myc-IFI35. Data represent mean ± SD from three independent experiments. E HepG2 or HepG2-TRIM21 knockout cells were transfected with HBV 1.2mer together with increasing amounts of IFI35. Total RNA was analyzed by Northern blotting to detect HBV transcription. F Effect of TRIM21 on IFI35-mediated HNF4α degradation. HepG2 and HepG2-TRIM21-KO cells were transfected with either empty vector or myc-IFI35. After 48 h, cycloheximide (50ug/ml) were treated for the indicated times, and cells were harvested. Expression levels of HNF4α and IFI35 were evaluated through Western blotting. Quantification of HNF4α levels between HepG2 and HepG2-TRIM21-KO cells (bottom). G HepG2 cells and TRIM21 knockout cells were co-transfected with HA-tagged ubiquitin (1 μg) and either vector or IFI35 (2 μg). At 48 h post-transfection, HNF4α was immunoprecipitated and immunoblotted with anti-ubiquitin antibody to assess polyubiquitination. Total levels of HNF4α, IFI35, TRIM21, and HA-tagged ubiquitin in input lysates were also analyzed by immunoblotting. H Schematic diagram of HBV enhancer luciferase reporter constructs. Constructs containing enhancer I (EnhI), enhancer II (EnhII), or both regions were cloned upstream of the luciferase reporter gene. Mutant constructs lacking HNF4α binding sites were generated in EnhI (ΔHNF4α) or EnhII (ΔHNF4α1 and ΔHNF4α1,2) as indicated. I Basal luciferase activity of HBV enhancer reporter constructs. HepG2 cells were transfected with the indicated luciferase reporter plasmids, and luciferase activity was measured. J Comparison of the effect of IFI35 on EnhI-driven transcription with or without the HNF4α binding site. HepG2 cells were co-transfected with the indicated EnhI luciferase reporters and increasing amounts of myc-IFI35. Luciferase activity was measured 48 h post-transfection. Data represent mean ± SD from three independent experiments. K Comparison of the effect of IFI35 on EnhII-driven transcription with or without HNF4α binding sites. HepG2 cells were co-transfected with EnhII luciferase reporters containing wild-type or mutated HNF4α binding sites together with increasing amounts of myc-IFI35. Luciferase activity was measured 48 h post-transfection. Data represent mean ± SD from three independent experiments. The above experiment was independently conducted three times. Data are shown as mean ± SD. The statistical significance of the differences was assessed by the Student t test: *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01, ***, P < 0.001

Figure Legend Snippet: Domain mapping of IFI35 as mediators of TRIM21–HNF4α complex formation. A Schematic representation of IFI35 constructs used in this study. GFP-tagged mutants lacking NID1 (ΔNID1) or NID2 (ΔNID2), as well as the leucine zipper construct (Zip), were generated. B HepG2 cells were co-transfected with HBV 1.2mer and the indicated IFI35 constructs. At 72 h post-transfection, HBV replication intermediates were analyzed by Southern blotting. Quantification of HBV replication levels based on Southern blot analysis. C Secreted HBeAg and HBsAg levels in the culture supernatants were measured by ELISA. E Co-immunoprecipitation analysis of IFI35 mutants with HNF4α. HepG2 cells were transfected with GFP-tagged IFI35 constructs and cell lysates were immunoprecipitated using anti-HNF4α antibody followed by immunoblotting with anti-GFP antibody. F Interaction of IFI35 mutants with TRIM21. Cells were transfected with Myc-TRIM21 together with the indicated IFI35 constructs. Cell lysates were subjected to immunoprecipitation using anti-TRIM21 antibody followed by immunoblotting with anti-GFP antibody. Data represent mean ± SD (n = 3). Statistical significance was determined relative to the vector control
