Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Schematic of possible CD97 signaling mechanisms tested. Listed in red are the methods for testing. (B) Phosphoproteomic data collected from GBM samples identify five phosphorylation sites on the CD97 cytosolic C terminus. The heatmap depicts the percentage of GBM samples with the detected phosphorylation site.

(K) Immunoblot for p-ERK1/ERK2 from CD97-overexpressing PDGCs plated on laminin or recombinant forms of putative ligands CD55 and THY1/CD90. (L) Quantification of densitometry ratios from immunoblots in (K) (n = 2–4 per PDGC; EV p-ERK/ERK: two-way ANOVA F 2,6 = 0.9450, p > 0.05; EV ERK/GAPDH: two-way ANOVA F 2,6 = 1.047, p > 0.05; CD97 overexpression p-ERK/ERK: two-way ANOVA F 2,16 = 12.48, p < 0.001; Tukey’s multiple comparisons test: laminin vs. CD55: ns, p < 0.05; laminin vs. CD90: ***p < 0.001; CD97 overexpression ERK/GAPDH: two-way ANOVA F 2,16 = 2.257, ns p > 0.05). Error bars indicate SEM.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Receptor-ligand CRISPR-Cas9 activation screen reveals that CD55 interacts with HLA-C∗07:01-VRIG tetramers (A) Schematic of the receptor ligand CRISPR-Cas9 activation screen. K562 cells transduced with a genome-wide activation library were stained with a pool of three HLA tetramers (HLA-A∗02:01-NLVP, HLA-B∗07:02-TPRV, and HLA-C∗07:01-VRIG), and enriched gRNAs in stained cells were identified using NGS. (B) SigmaFC scores of genes from two replicate screens. SigmaFC scores were calculated using PinAplPy, and top hits are annotated. (C) K562 cells stably expressing dCas9 and transduced with a gRNA upregulating CD55 or a control guide were stained with the HLA-A, -B, -C, or tetramers as in (A) or with HLA-E∗01:01-VMAP tetramers and analyzed by flow cytometry. (D) In vitro co-immunoprecipitation of recombinant CD55-Fc with HLA-A∗02:01-NLVP, HLA-B∗07:02-TPRV, HLA-C∗07:01-VRIG, or HLA-E∗01:01-VMAP tetramers. (E) Three different cell lines (HeLa, PC-3M, or SiHa) that express CD55 endogenously were stained for CD55 (top) or with HLA-C∗07:01-VRIG tetramers (bottom) and analyzed by flow cytometry. (F) HeLa wild-type or HeLa CD55 KO cells were stained with αCD55 or HLA-C∗07:01-VRIG tetramers and analyzed by flow cytometry. All data except (B) represent at least three independent experiments. CRISPRa, CRISPR activation screen; TMs, tetramers; WT, wild-type; KO, knockout. Related to Figure S1 and Table S1 .

Figure Lengend Snippet: Interaction of CD55 with HLA-C∗07:01-VRIG tetramers is allotype and peptide specific (A) HEK293T cells were transfected with a plasmid containing GFP and a truncation mutant of CD55 and analyzed by flow cytometry. GFP+ positive cells were analyzed for staining with HLA-C∗07:01-VRIG. Each mutant removes an additional SCR domain from CD55. Data are represented as mean ± SD. (B) HeLa cells were stained with HLA-C∗07:01-VRIG tetramers after pre-incubation with CD55 blocking antibodies targeting different SCR domains on CD55 and analyzed by flow cytometry. (C) HeLa cells were stained with either HLA-C∗07:01 or HLA-C∗07:02 tetramers loaded with the VRIG peptide and analyzed by flow cytometry. (D) HeLa cells were stained with HLA-C∗07:01 tetramers loaded with different alanine mutants of the VRIGHLYIL peptide and analyzed by flow cytometry. (E) CD55-Fc was immobilized on a Prot-G chip for SPR data using HLA-C∗07:01-VRIG tetramers as analyte to determine interaction on and off rates and K D . Response units were measured with increasing concentrations of HLA-C∗07:01-VRIG tetramers. All data represent at least three independent experiments, except (E), which represents a biological duplicate. FL, full length. Related to Figure S2 , Tables S2 and .
