Figure Lengend Snippet: Human and porcine NLRC3 prefer different lengths of dsDNA (A) Computationally derived binding model of hNLRC3 NBD-LRR with HSV15 (upper) and HSV60 (bottom) dsDNA. hNLRC3, NBD is highlighted in blue, and LRR is highlighted in purple. (B and C) Computationally derived binding model of pNLRC3 NBD-LRR with HSV15 (B) and HSV60 (C) dsDNA. The binding conformations between pNLRC3 and dsDNA were derived from all-atom MD simulations at the equilibrium states. HSV15 associated with either NBD or LRR domains, while HSV60 dissociated from pNLRC3 (distance >50 Å) in representative conformations suggesting weaker affinities. pNLRC3, NBD is highlighted in yellow, and LRR is highlighted in pink. (D and E) The distance between 15 bp dsDNA (D) or 60 bp dsDNA (E) and pNLRC3 was estimated by measuring the distance between pNLRC3 and DNA backbone atom. (F) MST assays showing pNLRC3 binding affinities with HSV30, HSV60 and HSV120. Each experiment was independently repeated three times. (G and H) Streptavidin pull-down assay for the binding of biotin-HSV30, biotin-HSV60 and biotin-HSV120 dsDNA to HA-pNLRC3 FL (G) or HA-hNLRC3 FL (H) transfected in HEK-293T cells. (I and J) Streptavidin pull-down assay of HA-pNLRC3 FL (I) and HA-hNLRC3 FL (J) binding to biotin-HSV15 DNA/RNA hybrids and biotin-HSV60 DNA/RNA hybrids.
