Figure Lengend Snippet: a . Bar graph (left) and dot plot (right) showing the relative levels of DENV genomic RNA and DENV plaque forming units (PFU) in Huh7 cells treated with the indicated siRNAs at 40μM for 24h before being infected with DENV for 24h. b. Bar graph (left) and dot plot (center) showing the relative levels of DENV genomic RNA and DENV plaque forming units (PFU) in Huh7 cells treated with increasing concentrations of siCPSF3-10. Bar graph showing the relative levels of CPSF3 mRNA and Western blot with the indicated antibodies showing the protein levels of DENV NS5 and CPSF3 (right). c . Bar graph (left) and dot plot (right) showing the relative levels of ZIKV genomic RNA and ZIKV plaque forming units (PFU) in Huh7 cells treated with the indicated siRNAs at 40μM for 24h before being infected with ZIKV for 24h. d . V5 immunoprecipitation of 293T cells transfected with FLAG-tagged ZIKV or DENV NS3 and V5-tagged CPSF3, followed by Western blotting with the indicated antibodies, showing that ZIKV NS3, like DENV NS3, interacts with CPSF3. e. Bar graph showing the relative cell viability of Huh7 cells treated with the indicated concentrations of JTE-607. f . Line graph showing the relative DENV infectivity of Huh7 cells treated with the indicated concentrations of JTE-607. The number of plaque forming units were counted for each sample and plotted relative to the untreated sample. The estimated EC 50 was calculated using Prism. Western blot with the indicated antibodies of the corresponding cell lysate samples showing the decrease in protein levels of DENV NS5, CPSF3, CPSF4 and actin with treatment of increasing concentrations of JTE-607. Mean values were compared to the respective control samples by Dunnett multiple comparison after one-way ANOVA, and a p-value less than 0.05 was considered significant (*, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01; ****, p < 0.0001).
