Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 2 | Intersection of ChIRP-MS with genome-wide CRISPR screens nominates functionally relevant pro-viral host proteins. a, Genome-scale CRISPR KO screens of all four DENV serotypes (DENV-1276RKI, DENV-2429557, DENV-3Philippines/H871856 and DENV-4BC287/97) in Huh7.5.1 cells. The genetic screens were independently performed for each serotype, analysed with MAGeCK and combined to obtain the robust rank aggregation (RRA) significance scores (y axis). The 50 most-enriched genes were coloured and grouped by function. b, Scatter plot depicting the enrichment scores of high-confidence ChIRP-MS DENV hits (x axis) and the 200 top-scoring hits from DENV CRISPR genetic screens (y axis). Common hits shared by both the DENV genetic screens and DENV ChIRP-MS are indicated in red (vigilin), blue (RRBP1) and purple (others). c, Western blot analysis of WT and clonal RRBP1-KO (top) or vigilin-KO (bottom) Huh7.5.1 cells. Representative western blot of n = 2 biologically independent replicates showing similar results. d, Analysis by qRT–PCR of WT and RRBP1-KO cells infected with DENV (48 h.p.i.; m.o.i. of 0.1), ZIKVPRVABC59 (48 h.p.i.; m.o.i. of 0.1), POWVLB (48 h.p.i.; m.o.i. of 0.1) or CHIKV181/25 (24 h.p.i.; m.o.i. of 0.01). e, Analysis by qRT–PCR of WT and vigilin-KO cells infected as in d. The WT datasets for POWV in d,e were derived from the same experiments. f, Western blot analysis of the cell lysates of DENV-2429557-infected (72 h.p.i.; m.o.i. of 0.1) WT, RRBP1-KO and vigilin-KO Huh7.5.1 cells probed with antibodies to DENV prM and NS3. Representative western blot of n = 4 biologically independent replicates showing similar results. g, Titres of the infectious particles produced from WT, RRBP1-KO and vigilin-KO Huh7.5.1 cells infected with DENV-2429557 for 72 h at an m.o.i. of 0.1. d,e,g, The data represent the mean ± s.e.m. of n = 3 independent biological replicates, except POWV, where n = 4 independent biological replicates. All P values were determined by two-tailed, unpaired t-tests using GraphPad Prism; n.s., not significant.
Article Snippet: The cells were incubated with antibodies against RRBP1 (Bethyl, A303-996A; 1:100 dilution), vigilin (Bethyl, A303-971A; 1:20 dilution), GFP (Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA5-15256; 1:100 dilution) for 90 min at room temperature.
