doi: 10.1128/jvi.00498-25
Figure Lengend Snippet: PEDV Nsp14 interacts with NDP52 and TOM20. ( A, B ) The Ni-NTA agaroses were bound by His-Nsp14 and incubated with IPEC-J2 WCLs at 4°C overnight. The resulting complexes were separated using SDS-PAGE and subjected to silver staining or WB analysis with the specific antibodies. The asterisk marked the bait protein His-Nsp14, the red arrow denoted NDP52, and the green arrow pointed to TOM20. ( C, D ) IPEC-J2 cells were transfected with the pCAGGS-HA-Nsp14 plasmid or HA-tagged empty vector for 36 h, with the HA-tagged empty vector serving as a negative control. IP was performed with anti-HA magnetic beads, and WB was conducted with the specific antibodies. ( E, F ) IPEC-J2 cells were transfected with the pCAGGS-HA-Nsp14 plasmid or HA-tagged empty vector, and fluorescence signals were visualized with the specific antibodies using confocal microscopy at 36 hpt. The assessment of interaction was conducted by calculating the Pearson’s correlation coefficient using the JaCoP plugin in the ImageJ software. Scale bars = 10 µm. ( G, H ) IPEC-J2 cells were infected with PEDV (0.2 MOI) for 36 h. Fluorescence signals were visualized with the specific antibodies using confocal microscopy. The assessment of interaction was conducted by calculating the Pearson’s correlation coefficient using the JaCoP plugin in the ImageJ software. Scale bars = 10 µm.
