Localization and biotinylation of proteins proximal to the inclusion membrane in HeLa cells infected with C. trachomatis L2 transformants expressing Inc-APEX2 constructs. Coverslips were placed in two wells of a 6-well tissue culture plate to ensure appropriate biotinylation. HeLa cells that were infected with C. trachomatis serovar L2 transformed with the indicated APEX2 constructs or the C. trachomatis L2 wild type (WT) or that were mock infected were induced for construct expression with the indicated concentrations of anhydrotetracycline (aTc) at 7 hpi. Biotin-phenol was added at 23.5 hpi and biotinylation was catalyzed at 24 hpi by the addition of 3 mM H 2 O 2 for 1 min, after which the reaction was quenched. Coverslips were removed from the 6-well plate and processed for immunofluorescence to visualize biotinylated proteins (the streptavidin-488 conjugate), expression of the construct (anti-FLAG, red), chlamydiae (MOMP) and DNA (DAPI; blue), and the inclusion membrane (anti-CT223; pink). Coverslips were imaged using a Zeiss LSM 800 confocal microscope at a ×63 magnification with a ×2 zoom. Bars = 5 μm.

Ultrastructural localization of APEX2 activity to the cytosolic face of the inclusion membrane in HeLa cells infected with C. trachomatis L2 transformants expressing Inc-APEX2 constructs, as determined by electron microscopy. HeLa cells seeded onto electron microscopy-grade, cell culture-treated coverslips were infected with C. trachomatis serovar L2 transformed with the indicated constructs or C. trachomatis serovar L2 wild-type (WT) and induced with anhydrotetracycline (aTc) at 7 hpi (0.3 nM aTc for the IncF-APEX2 transformants and 5 nM aTc for all others). At 24 hpi, a glutaraldehyde and paraformaldehyde fixing solution was added to each sample and the samples were incubated on ice. Next, the samples were pretreated with DAB (or not, as indicated) 30 min prior to labeling by the addition of H 2 O 2 solution (also containing DAB) to catalyze DAB polymerization. The reaction was quenched with glycine and processed for electron microscopy as indicated in Materials and Methods. (A) C. trachomatis L2 wild type (WT) treated with DAB; (B) C. trachomatis L2 IncA-APEX2 without DAB; (C) C. trachomatis L2 transformants treated with DAB. DAB polymer staining around the inclusion is indicated by arrowheads. Bars = 2 μm (A) and 500 nm (B and C).

$Western blot detection of affinity-purified biotinylated proteins. HeLa cells infected with C. trachomatis L2 Inc-APEX2 transformants or the wild type (WT) or mock-infected cells were induced with anhydrotetracycline (aTc) at 7 hpi (0.3 nM aTc for IncF-APEX2 transformants and 4 nM for all others). Biotin-phenol (BP) was added 30 min prior to the biotinylation reaction at 24 hpi. Biotinylation was catalyzed by the addition of 3 mM H 2 O 2 for 1 min and stopped with a quenching wash solution. Biotinylated proteins were affinity purified from solubilized lysates using streptavidin beads, eluted in sample buffer, separated by SDS-PAGE, and transferred to a PVDF membrane for Western blotting. The eluate fraction was probed for biotinylated proteins (streptavidin-680 conjugate), construct expression (anti-FLAG antibody), IncA (anti-IncA antibody), and CT223 (anti-CT223 antibody) and imaged using an Azure c600 system. Asterisks indicate the detected proteins. Numbers on the left indicate molecular masses (in kilodaltons). See Fig. S1 in the supplemental material.$

Model of Inc-Inc organization in the inclusion membrane and Inc-APEX2 proximity labeling. The proposed model of Inc organization is based on mass spectrometry-identified chlamydial Inc proteins, in which IncA-APEX2 and IncF-APEX2 proximity labeling constructs and bacterial adenylate cyclase two-hybrid (BACTH) assays were used to test protein-protein interactions. Based on these data, we propose four possible scenarios for the spatial organization of Incs and how these Incs were detected using the APEX2 proximity labeling system: scenario 1, IncF interacts with CT226, which binds LRRF1; scenario 2, IncA interacts with CT226, which binds LRRF1; scenario 3, IncA binds IncF and CT226, which binds LRRF1; and scenario 4, IncA, CT223, IncF, and CT226 (which binds LRRF1) all interact with each other. CT223 was statistically significant by SAINT analysis from the mass spectrometry data and was able to interact with IncF and IncA by BACTH.

Proposed model of Inc organization based on mass spectrometry identified chlamydial Inc proteins using IncA-APEX2 and IncF-APEX2 proximity labeling constructs and bacterial two-hybrid assays (BACTH) to test protein-protein interactions. Based on these data we propose four possible scenarios for the spatial organization of Incs and how these Incs were detected using the APEX2 proximity labeling system: (1) IncF interacts with CT226 which binds LRRF1. (2) IncA interacts with CT226 which binds LRRF1. (3) IncA binds IncF and CT226 which binds LRRF1. (4) IncA, CT223, IncF, and CT226 (which binds LRRF1) all interact with each other. CT223 was statistically significant by SAINT analysis from mass spectrometry data and was able to interact with IncF and IncA by BACTH.
