Figure Lengend Snippet: The Ragulator-Rag complex is required for EV71 replication. (A and B) Wild-type, LAMTOR1 −/− (A), and LAMTOR3 −/− (B) HeLa cells were infected with EV71 (MOI = 5) and the viral titers were determined by TCID50 assay at 12, 24, and 36 h after infection. (C–F) Wild-type, LAMTOR1 −/− , and LAMTOR3 −/− HeLa cells were incubated with EV71 (MOI > 100) at 4°C for 1 h. For the virus binding assay, cells were washed with 1×PBS three times, then total cellular RNA was extracted and viral RNA was quantified by qPCR (C and D). For the virus entry assay, these cells were then transferred to a 37°C incubator for 20 min after 1 h of incubation at 4°C and were rinsed three times with 1×PBS-HCl. Total RNA was extracted, and viral RNA was quantified by qPCR (E and F). All values are means ± SEM. Data were analyzed using two-tailed Student’s t test. (G and H) Wild-type, LAMTOR1 −/− (G), and LAMTOR3 −/− (H) HeLa cells were infected with EV71 (MOI = 5). Viral RNA was quantified by qPCR 5 h after infection. VP1 expression was analyzed by Western blot 12 h after infection. All values are means ± SEM. Data were analyzed using two-tailed Student’s t test. (I) SK-N-SH cells were transfected with LAMTOR3 siRNAs and then infected with EV71 (MOI = 5) after 60 h. The knockdown efficiency of LAMTOR3 was determined by Western blotting. Viral RNA level was quantified by qPCR 5 h after infection. 3D expression was analyzed by Western blot 12 h after infection. The quantitation analysis of Western blot was performed using ImageJ. All values are means ± SEM. Data were analyzed using two-tailed Student’s t test. (J and K) U251 cells were transfected with LAMTOR3 siRNAs and then infected with EV71-VR784 (MOI = 5; J) or EV71-695F (MOI = 5; K) after 60 h. Viral RNA was quantified by qPCR 5 h after infection. VP1 expression was analyzed by Western blot 12 h after infection. The quantitation analysis of Western blot was performed using ImageJ. All values are means ± SEM. Data were analyzed using two-tailed Student’s t test. (L–N) RagB +/+ and RagB −/− HeLa cells were infected with EV71 (MOI = 5). Viral RNA was quantified by qPCR 5 h after infection. The knockout efficiency of RagB in HeLa cells and VP1 expression were detected by Western blot 12 h after infection (L). The quantitation analysis of Western blot was performed using ImageJ. Viral titers were determined by TCID50 assay at 12, 24, and 36 h after infection (M). Cell death induced by EV71 was detected by measuring ATP levels 18 h after infection (N). All values are means ± SEM. Data were analyzed using two-tailed Student’s t test. Source data are available for this figure: .
