Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 8. Central illustration. High salt stimulation upregulates IRF5 expression, which enhances the phosphorylation and dimerization of STAT1 and STAT2. The activated STAT1/STAT2 complex translocates into the nucleus, binds to the ESM1 promoter region, and promotes ESM1 transcription. Elevated ESM1 expression contributes to vascular remodeling and the development of salt-sensitive hypertension, as illustrated by the transition from a physiological to a pathological vascular pheno- type. P, phosphorylation.

Figure Lengend Snippet: pI215L colocalizes with STAT2 at the nucleus. (A) hSTAT2-FLAG interacts with pI215L in BSRT7 cells. BSRT7 cells were co-transfected with hSTAT2-FLAG (0.4 μg/1 × 10 6 cells) and with pIRES-I215L-myc (2 μg/1 × 10 6 cells). 24 h post-transfection, cells were stimulated with Universal Type I IFN (500 U/mL) for 1 h. Cells were then collected and processed for immunoprecipitation with an anti-myc antibody and analyzed by Western blot labeling with antibodies against FLAG to detect STAT2, against myc to detect pI215L and against actin. (B) pI215L colocalizes with STAT2 in the cell nucleus. Vero cells were transfected with EV or pIRES-I215L-myc (2 μg/1 × 10 6 cells) expression plasmids. After 24 h, cells were stimulated with IFN-I (250 U/mL) for 1 h. After treatment, cells were fixed and stained with DAPI (blue), anti-STAT2 (green) and anti-myc (I215L; red) antibodies and examined by a confocal microscope. Merged images of the different channels are also shown.

Figure Lengend Snippet: pI215L interacts with STAT2 and promotes its ubiquitination during infection in PAMs. (A) pI215L-GST interacts with STAT2 from extracts of infected PAMs by a pull-down assay. PAMs were infected with Arm/07/CBM/c2 (1 PFU/cell) harvested at 16 hpi and processed for the pull-down experiment with glutathione sepharose beads bound to pI215L-GST or to GST alone as a negative control. Bead-bound proteins were detected by Western blotting labeling with anti-STAT2 and anti-GST antibodies. (B) hSTAT2-FLAG-pI215L interaction during ASFV infection. COS-1 cells were transfected with hSTAT2-FLAG (0.4 μg/1 × 10 6 cells) and infected with Arm/07/CBM/c2 (1 PFU/cell) for 16 h. Cells were then collected and processed for immunoprecipitation with an anti-FLAG antibody and analyzed by Western blot analysis labeling with antibodies against FLAG to detect STAT2, against pI215L, against pS273R (negative control of co-inmunoprecipitation) and against actin. (C) PAMs were mock infected or infected with Armenia/07/CBM/c2 (1 PFU/cell). At 5 or 15 hpi, cells were untreated or treated with universal type I IFN (250 U/mL). After 1 h of treatment, cells were fixed and stained with DAPI (blue), anti-pI215L (green) and anti-p32 (red) antibodies and examined by a confocal microscope. Individual and merged images of the different channels are shown. (D,E) Nuclear fractionation of mock-infected or infected PAMs at 16 hpi in presence (D) or in absence (E) of IFN-I (500 U/mL). PAMs were seeded in p60 plates and were mock infected (−) or infected (+) with Armenia/07/CBM/c2 strain (1 PFU/cell) for 16 h. At 15 hpi, cells were untreated or treated with type I IFN (500 U/mL) for 1 h. Then, cells were collected and nuclear fractionation was performed. The whole cell extract (WCE), cytoplasmic fraction (S2) and nuclear chromatin fraction (P3) were analyzed by 10% SDS-PAGE, followed by immunoblotting with anti-STAT2 and anti-I215L antibodies. As controls of the fractionation, antibody against nuclear lamin B1 and antibody against cytoplasmic actin were used.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Schematic representation of the model of action of pI215L inhibiting the JAK/STAT pathway via STAT2 degradation. On the right side, the activation of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway upon IFN-I stimulus in a non-infected cell is depicted: STAT1 and STAT2 are phosphorylated, together with IRF9 conform the ISGF3 complex, which translocates to the nucleus to act as a transcription factor to induce ISGs transcription. The right side shows the activation of the JAK/STAT pathway in an ASFV-infected cell, where the viral protein I215L interacts with STAT2 in the nucleus, promoting its ubiquitination and degradation, thus preventing ISGF3 complex formation and therefore the transcription of the genes involved in the response to IFN-I. STAT2 degradation by the proteasome has been depicted in the cytoplasm, although the hypothesis that the proteasomal machinery translocates into the nucleus to carry out the degradation of ubiquitinated STAT2 (dashed arrow), cannot be excluded. Biorender program was used for the realization of this illustration.
