    The protein fragment complementation assay of the interactions between HHV-8 viral chemokines and CCR8. ( A ) Illustration of the NanoBiT-based protein fragment complementation assay of chemokine-receptor interaction. When a chemokine binds to its receptor on the plasma membrane of intact cells, their fused Small BiT (SmB; 1.3 kDa) and Large BiT (LgB; 17.6 kDa) fragments of Nano Luciferase (NLuc) are brought into proximity, which allows structural complementation thus yielding a functional enzyme acting on NLuc substrate, furimazine. ( B ) Schematic diagram of NanoBiT-fused CCR8. CCR8 was tagged with the bovine prolactin signal sequence (PSS) and the V5 epitope for efficient translocation into the endoplasmic reticulum and immunological detection of expression, respectively. ( C ) Immunofluorescence detection of cell surface expression of the NanoBiT-fused CCR8 protein transfected into <t>293T</t> cells. DAPI (4’,6-diamidino-2-pheynylindole) was used to visualize cell nuclei. Red asterisks denote untransfected cells. Scale bar, 10 μm. ( D ) Schematic diagram of the NanoBiT-fused viral chemokines vCCL1 (D1-23) and vCCL2(D1-20), which lack their signal sequences. ( E ) Immunoblot detection of the NanoBiT-fused viral chemokines in the culture media. Red asterisks indicate the vCCL bands, and black asterisks indicate non-specific bands. Supplementary Fig. S4 presents the original membranes of the immunoblots. ( F ) NanoBiT assays of vCCL-CCR8 interaction. The relative luminescence unit (RLU) was measured at 30 s after the mixture of the NanoBiT-fused vCCL and furimazine was added to the suspension of the NanoBiT-CCR8-transfected 293T cells. Each value represents the mean of triplicate samples from two independent experiments. Error bars represent standard deviations. The one-way ANOVA test was used to assess the statistical significance of differences between groups, and the t-test was used for post hoc comparisons. ***, p < 0.001.

( A ) V5-immunoblot analysis of the expression of twenty-five human chemokine receptors (CKRs) and the HHV-8-encoded viral chemokine receptor vGPCR. The CKRs were fused with PSS, LgB, and V5 as described in Fig. . 293T cells were transfected with the indicated CKR plasmids for 24 h, and whole-cell extracts were used for immunoblotting. EV indicates empty vector. The red asterisk indicates a non-specific immunoreactive band. Supplementary Fig. S4 presents the original membranes of the immunoblots. ( B ) V5-immunofluorescence detection of cell surface expression of LgB-fused V5-CKRs transfected into 293T cells. Scale bar, 10 μm. Supplementary Fig. presents the original membranes of immunoblots. ( C ) NanoBiT analysis of vial chemokine-CKR interactions. The luminescence intensity was measured at 30 s after the mixture of SmB-fused vCCL (vCCL1, vCCL2, or vCCL3) and furimazine was added to the suspensions of cells expressing each LgB-fused V5-CKR. Each value in the heatmap indicates fold activation, determined by the ratio of RLU from treatment with each viral chemokine to the RLU from no treatment in CKR-transfected cells. Data represent the mean of triplicate samples from three independent experiments.

    NanoBiT assessment of vIL6-gp130-STAT3 interactions. ( A ) Schematic diagram of the vIL6 and gp130 proteins fused with the NanoBiT subunits at either their N- or C-termini. Expression of NanoBiT-tagged gp130 in 293T cells was examined using immunoblotting with anti-gp130 antibody. Supplementary Fig. S4 presents the original membranes of the immunoblots. ( B ) NanoBiT assays of vIL6-gp130 interaction. The luminescence intensity was measured at 5 min after the mixture of NanoBiT-fused vIL6 and furimazine was added to the suspension of NanoBiT-gp130-transfected 293T cells. Each RLU value represents the mean of triplicate samples from a representative experiment. Error bars represent standard deviations. The one-way ANOVA test assessed the statistical significance of differences between groups, and the t-test was used for post hoc comparisons. **, p < 0.01; ***, p < 0.001. ( C ) Schematic diagram of the NanoBiT-fused FLAG-gp130 and mEGFP-STAT3 proteins. mEGFP refers to monomeric EGFP. ( D ) Co-immunoprecipitation assay of vIL-6-induced interaction of NanoBiT-fused gp130 and STAT3 proteins. 293T cells were single or double-transfected with plasmids encoding the indicated genes and, 24 h later, left untreated or treated with vIL-6-conditional medium for 5 min before cell lysis. FLAG-immunoprecipitates and cell extracts were immunoblotted with the indicated antibodies. The arrow indicates β-actin. Supplementary Fig. S4 presents the original membranes of the immunoblots. ( E ) NanoBiT assays of vIL6-induced interaction between gp130 and STAT3. The luminescence intensity was recorded every minute for 10 min after the addition of empty vector-control medium or vIL6-conditional medium, together with furimazine, to the suspension of 293T cells transfected with Flag-gp130-LgB and/or mEGFP-STAT3-SmB. Each RLU value represents the mean of triplicate samples from a representative experiment. Error bars represent standard deviations.
