Figure Lengend Snippet: a , Duplicate screens depicting HCoV-229E infection (48 hours post-infection) in Huh7 cells expressing ISGs. b , Multiple sequence alignment of Ly6e amino acid sequences of different species. c , Phylogenetic tree of mammalian LY6E orthologues. d , HCoV-229E infection of Huh7.5 cells expressing vector control or human ( H. sapiens ), camel ( C. dromedarius ), bat ( P. alecto ), mouse ( M. musculus ), or rhesus ( M. mulatta ) LY6E orthologues. e , Stable LY6E or empty vector expressing Huh7.5 cells infected with MERS-CoV in a limiting dilution assay. f , Stable Huh7.5 cells expressing either LY6E or containing empty vector infected with HCoV-229E, HCV, CHIKV, hPIV-3, RSV, SINV, VEEV, WNV, ZIKV, YFV, and DENV. g , HCoV-229E-Rluc infection of naïve or stably transduced Huh7 cells expressing empty vector control or LY6/uPAR family members. h , HCoV-229E-Rluc infection of Huh7 cells transduced with lentiviruses expressing firefly luciferase (Fluc) control, LY6E WT, LY6E HA or specific block mutants . Data represent average of independent biological replicates, n=3 ( d ), n=3 ( e ), n=3 ( f ), n=3 ( g ), n=3 ( h ). Statistical significance was determined by ordinary one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s correction for multiple comparison ( d, e, g, h ), 2way ANOVA followed by Sidak’s multiple comparisons test ( f ). Error bars: SD. P values: d , **** p=<0.0001, ** p=0.0030; e , * p=0.0118, ** p=0.0013; f , **** p=>0.0001, ** p=0.0095, ns= >0.9999 (CHIKV) >0.9999 (PIV) >0.9999 (RSV) >0.9999 (SINV) >0.9999 (VEEV) 0.9679 (WNV) 0.8794 (ZIKV) 0.3172 (YFV) 0.7667 (DENV) (For CHIKV one outlier was removed in the control cells); g , **** p=<0.0001, ns p=0.9993 (GPFHBPI) 0.9998 (LY6H) 0.9991 (PSCA) 0.9990 (Ly6G6D) 0.9997 (CD59) >0.9999 (LYPD1) 0.9994 (LYPD2) 0.9997 (GML) 0.9997 (LY6D) 0.9992 (LY6K); h , **** p=<0.0001, <0.0001, *** p=0.0005, ns p=0.8472, **** p=<0.0001, *** p=0.0003, **** p=<0.0001, <0.0001, <0.0001, *** p=0.0001, **** p=<0.0001.
