Article Title: C-terminal tail of MAVS dictates organelle targeting and innate immune response
doi: 10.1186/s12964-026-02753-y
Figure Lengend Snippet: Tail charge of MAVS modulates MAVS localization. A Multiple sequence alignment of MAVS C-terminal tail in Homo sapiens, Macaca mulatta, Equus caballus and Canis lupus, highlighted regions are arginine-rich stretches at MAVS C-terminal tail. B Schematic diagram of MAVS WT and its tail charge mutants to be employed in this study. C Type I IFN response does not affect peroxisomal sorting of MAVS. The number of MAVS-positive PMP70-positive puncta was counted in GFP-MAVS WT cells infected with or without SeV ( n = 45 cells pooled from three independent experiments). Box plots represent the 5% and 95% quartiles, respectively. ns: not significant. D , F , H , J , L , N Representative Z-projected figures of GFP-MAVS WT, 6R and 0R cells immunostained with anti-TOM20 (red) or anti-PMP70 (red). Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). Scale bars: 2 μm (inset). Circles labelled in white in panel ( D ) indicate MAVS-positive TOM20-negative puncta, circles labelled in yellow indicate MAVS-negative TOM20-positive puncta. E , G , I , K , M , O Line profiles in blocks of 11 pixels in GFP-MAVS WT, 6R and 0R cells immunostained with anti-TOM20 or anti-PMP70 ( n = 45 cells pooled from three independent experiments)
