    Bethyl rabbit anti-trim28 polyclonal antibody (a-300-274a)
    (A) V proteins from 11 different paramyxoviruses can co-precipitate <t>TRIM28.</t> HEK293T cells were transfected with plasmids expressing the indicated FLAG-tagged V constructs or FLAG-tagged mCherry. FLAG-tagged proteins were subsequently immunoprecipitated from cell lysates, and the indicated proteins were detected by western blotting. IP: immunoprecipitated fraction; INPUT: soluble input fraction; TR28: TRIM28. Data are representative of n=3 independent experiments. Black arrows indicate predicted sizes of selected proteins of interest. (B) Quantification shows TRIM28 co-precipitation levels differ between V proteins. Band intensities of co-precipitated TRIM28 from experiments shown in (A) were normalized to their input levels and expressed relative (rel.) to the levels of the respective immunoprecipitated FLAG-tagged protein. Data points correspond to results from individual experiments, and results from n=3 independent experiments are shown. Bars represent mean values, with error bars representing standard deviation (SD). Statistical significance was assessed by ordinary one-way ANOVA (*, P ≤ 0.05; **, P ≤ 0.01; ***, P ≤ 0.001; ****, P ≤ 0.0001; ns, non-significant). (C) and ( D ) V and TRIM28 proteins can be co-precipitated from infected cells. A549 cells were infected, or mock, with PIV5 or PIV5-VΔC (MOI = 2 PFU/cell) for 24 hours, and soluble cell lysates were prepared. (C) Immunoprecipitations were performed using an anti-V5 antibody, and the indicated co-precipitated proteins were analyzed by western blot. (D) Immunoprecipitations were performed using an anti-TRIM28 antibody (TR28) or an anti-Ffluc antibody (control), and the indicated co-precipitated proteins were analyzed by western blot. Input fractions were also analyzed. Data are representative of n=3 independent experiments.

    Thermo Fisher rabbit polyclonal anti-trim28 antibody
    Verification of anti-GR (5E4) antibody specificity. ( A ) Western blot analysis of GR pulled down from HEK293 membrane fractions by immunoprecipitation using the anti-GR (5E4) antibody (IP 5E4). An amount of 20 µL of membrane fraction protein (lysate) were analyzed in parallel. Protein detection was achieved by adding the anti-GR (5E4) antibody followed by an HRP-conjugated anti-mouse IgG antibody as a secondary reagent. ( B ) Immunoprecipitation from HEK293 membrane fractions was performed using the anti-GR (5E4) antibody (IP 5E4) and mouse IgG1 as a corresponding isotype control (IP IgG1). For mass spectrometric analysis the protein content was visualized by Pierce Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 Dye after SDS-PAGE, and the indicated area of interest was extracted for analysis. ( C ) Mass spectrometric analyses of pull-down samples obtained by immunoprecipitation from HEK293, Jurkat, and THP-1 whole cell lysates using the anti-GR (5E4) antibody (AB) and mouse IgG1 as corresponding isotype control (Control). Differential protein abundance compared to isotype control was determined using a two-sample Student’s t test and black circles represent significance with an FDR cut-off of 5%. ( D ) Western blot analysis of GR pulled down from HEK293 whole cell lysates by immunoprecipitation using anti-GR (5E4) antibody Lot #1 (provided by Timea Berki ) and Lot #2 (Bio-Rad, Cat# MCA2469, RRID:AB_10844347). The protein content was visualized by incubation with anti-GR (5E4) antibody followed by HRP-conjugated anti-mouse IgG antibody as a secondary reagent. ( E ) Mass spectrometric analyses of pull-down samples obtained by immunoprecipitation from HEK293 whole cell lysates using anti-GR antibodies (AB), 5E4 (Lot #1 and #2), G-5, and pAb PA1, respectively, as well as corresponding isotype controls (Control). Differential protein abundance compared to isotype control was determined using two-sample Student’s t test, and black circles represent significance with an FDR cut-off of 5%. ( F ) Western blot analysis of pull-down samples from HEK293 whole cell lysates obtained by immunoprecipitation using the anti-GR (5E4) antibody. The protein content was visualized by incubation with primary antibodies directed against AMPD2 (Cat# <t>PA5-26127,</t> biotinylated) and <t>TRIM28</t> (Cat# PA5-27648), respectively, followed by HRP-conjugated streptavidin and anti-rabbit IgG antibody as secondary reagents.

FLAG-tagged proteins were subsequently immunoprecipitated and the indicated co-precipitated proteins analyzed by western blot. Input fractions were also analyzed. Data are representative of n=3 independent experiments. Black arrows indicate predicted sizes of selected proteins of interest. (B) Comparison of TRIM28 co-precipitation abilities between PIV2-V and PIV5-V.

Data points correspond to results from individual experiments, and results from n=3 independent experiments are shown. Bars represent mean values, with error bars representing standard deviation (SD). Statistical significance was assessed using a one-sample t test (*, P ≤ 0.05; **, P ≤ 0.01; ***, P ≤ 0.001; ****, P ≤ 0.0001; ns, non-significant).

Data are representative of n=3 independent experiments. (I) Quantification of TRIM28 co-precipitation by PIV5-V and PIV5-V Y175W. Band intensities of co-precipitated TRIM28 from experiments shown in (H) were normalized to their input levels and expressed relative (rel.) to the levels precipitated by PIV5-V. Data points correspond to results from individual experiments, and results from n=3 independent experiments are shown. Bars represent mean values, with error bars representing standard deviation (SD). Statistical significance was assessed using a one-sample t test (*, P ≤ 0.05; ns, non-significant). (J) Sequence alignment of the V protein CTDs from different paramyxoviruses. The sequences are ordered by their TRIM28 co-precipitation efficiency (top: most efficient; bottom: least efficient). The residue identified as critical for differential PIV2-V/PIV5-V TRIM28 engagement (W178/Y175) is indicated with an orange arrow. Three additional residues in close structural proximity to this residue, based on the PIV5-V structure are indicated with blue arrows.
