Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 8. Schematic model for GILT-mediated restriction of viral entry in lysosome. Enveloped viruses enter cell at plasma mem- brane or escape from endocytic compartments via virus-host cell membrane fusion. While MLV that fuses at plasma membrane and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) and influenza A virus (IAV) that fuse at early endosome or late endosome are resistant to GILT- mediated inhibition, viruses including Ebola virus, Lassa virus and SARS-CoV, which fuse at lysosome, are restricted by GILT. NPC1: Niemann-Pick C1 protein (lysosomal receptor of Ebola virus); LAMP1: Lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein 1 (lyso- somal receptor of Lassa virus).
Article Snippet: Immunofluorescence To visualize the subcellular localization of wild-type and mutant GILT proteins, A549 or TRex 293 cells were first fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 min and then permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 10 min. After incubation in the blocking solution (1×PBS with 3% BSA and 5% FBS) for 1 h, cells were stained with a mouse monoclonal antibody (G-11, SANTA CRUZ sc-393507A) or rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizing GILT protein (sc-393507A) together with a Rabbit derived monoclonal antibody against EEA1 (Cell Signaling, 2411), Rab9 (Cell Signaling, 5118s) or mouse derived LAMP1 monoclonal antibody (Cell Signaling, 15665), respectively.
