Figure Lengend Snippet: Temporal GOT1–GOT2 reciprocity directs aspartate flux for ASFV replication. ( A, B ) Expression levels of GOT1 and GOT2 during ASFV infection at various time points. ( C, D ) RT-qPCR and Western blot analysis of changes in GOT1 expression after GOT2 knockdown by siRNA. ( E ) Exogenous nucleoside supplementation restores ASFV-P30 protein levels suppressed by GOT1 siRNA. Unless otherwise indicated, PAMs were infected with ASFV at MOI = 1, and samples were collected at 24 hpi for Western blotting, RT-qPCR, and viral titer analysis. Statistical significance is indicated as follows: * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001, n.s. = no significant difference ( P ≥ 0.05).
Article Snippet: The antibodies used in this study included ASFV-P30 mouse monoclonal antibody (produced by our laboratory), β-tubulin ( M20005 ; Abmart), GOT1 (14886-1-AP; Proteintech), and GOT2 (67738-1-Ig; Proteintech).
