siRNA-mediated knockdown of WAVE1 and WAVE2 inhibits HPV16 infection in HeLa cells. On day 0, HeLa cells were seeded and transfected with siRNA in a 6-well microplate. On day 2, cells were collected and seeded onto a 24-well microplate to establish technical replicates. On day 3, cells were infected with HPV16 PsVs (TCID 30 ) containing a GFP reporter plasmid for 48 h. Protein expression for ( A ) WASP, ( C ) WAVE1, ( E ) WAVE2 or ( G ) WAVE1 and WAVE2 was measured via Western blotting on day 5. NC was the negative control siRNA used in this study, while S1, S2, and S3 refer to each of three separate siRNAs used to target the indicated proteins. For panels ( G , H ), S2 targeting WAVE1 and S3 targeting WAVE2 were employed to achieve knockdown of both proteins. Half volumes of each siRNA were combined for transfection so that the final concentration of siRNA in each experiment remained consistent. The percentage of HPV16 infected cells was also determined on day 5 (48 h post-infection) via flow cytometry for the knockdowns of ( B ) WASP, ( D ) WAVE1, ( F ) WAVE2, or ( H ) both WAVE1 and WAVE2. Each bar represents three biological replicates comprising technical triplicates and shows the mean %GFP+ cells ± standard deviation ( n = 3, normalized to WT). One-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparison test was used to statistically determine significance (ns = not significant, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001).

WAVE1 knockout (W1KO), W2KO, and W1/W2KO alters cellular morphology, but not proliferation, and inhibits HPV16 infection in multiple cell lines. ( A ) WAVE1 (W1) WAVE2 (W2) or both (W1-W2KO) proteins were knocked out in wild-type (WT) HeLa cells via CRISPR/Cas9 and confirmed by Western blotting. ( B ) Representative phase-contrast images of WT, W1KO, W2KO, and W1–W2KO HeLa cells were taken on the FloID Cell Imaging Station (20× magnification, scale bar = 50 µm). Black arrows indicate narrow protrusions, while white arrows indicate lamellipodial protrusions. ( C ) W1KO, W2KO, and W1/W2KO HeLa cells were seeded in equal amounts, grown for 48 h, and then analyzed for differences in DNA quantity via CyQUANT cell proliferation assay (Thermo Fisher) compared to WT. WT, W1KO, W2KO, and W1/W2KO ( D ) HeLa or ( E ) B16-F1 cells were treated with HPV16 PsVs (TCID 30 ) containing a GFP reporter plasmid. The percentage of infected cells (based on GFP reporter gene expression) was measured at 48 h post-infection via flow cytometry. Background from mock-infected cells was subtracted. For HeLa cells, at least 2 independent clones of each knockout were screened for consistent inhibition of HPV16 infection. Each bar represents three biological repeats comprising technical triplicates and shows DNA quantification over 48 h for panel ( C ) or the mean %GFP+ cells ± standard deviation ( n = 3, normalized to WT) for panels ( D , E ).

HPV infectivity is functionally recovered by WAVE1 or WAVE2 expression in HeLa cells. WT and ( A ) W1KO or ( C ) W2KO cells were transduced with a mammalian gene expression lentiviral control vector or a vector containing either GFP-WAVE1 or GFP-WAVE2, respectively (Vector Builder). Transduced cells received an antibiotic resistance gene and underwent selection. WT, ( B ) W1KO, ( D ) W2KO and cells with WAVE protein expression restored were treated with HPV16 PsVs (TCID 30 ) containing an RFP reporter plasmid. The percentage of infected cells (RFP reporter gene transduction) was measured at 48 h post-infection via flow cytometry. Background from mock infected cells was subtracted.

HPV16 colocalizes with actin and WAVE proteins at the cellular dorsal surface. WT HeLa cells expressing LifeAct-GFP seeded in chambered microscope slides were first cooled from 37 °C to 4 °C for 0.5 h to inhibit endocytosis prior to the addition of HPV16 L1L2 VLPs (10 ng/1 × 10 6 cells) in ice-cold media for 1 h. Cells were then returned to 37 °C for 10 min prior to fixation with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min at room temperature, which was the temperature for subsequent steps. Samples were then permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100, blocked with 1% BSA, and immunostained against HPV16 L1 and ( A ) WAVE1 or ( C ) WAVE2. Hoechst 33342 was added during secondary antibody addition as a counterstain. Z-stacked images were generated via laser scanning confocal microscopy. ( A , C ) depict maximum-intensity projections of Z-stacks of images depicting representative cells. The color channels are labeled at the upper left of each image. ( B ) and ( D ) depict the analysis of the spatial relationship between signals. To generate these images, we utilized Imaris 10.1.1 Microscopy Image Analysis Software (Oxford Instruments). Briefly, a “surface” was created for each signal, which is an Imaris segmentation algorithm. Surfaces were generated to provide object–object statistics. Parameters included the smoothing of surface details to 0.2 um with the method of absolute intensity thresholding. Background signal was subtracted through voxel size filtration (voxels smaller than 10 were excluded). Next, colocalization between channels was determined by the colocalization tool. Colocalized voxels (as determined by a Manders coefficient of 1) between surfaces were determined by first thresholding images to include true signals and restrict noise. New channels were then created of colocalization voxels. For both conditions, 3 fields containing 5–15 cells across 3 biological replicates were imaged. Scale = 10 µm.

The interaction between Boc and the WRC occurs in live cells and is direct (A–D) The NanoBiT structural complementation reporter system was used to detect interaction between Boc and CYFIP2 in live cells. Boc was fused to the Large BiT (LgBiT) subunit (Boc-LgBiT), and CYFIP2 was fused to the Small BiT (SmBiT) subunit either N-terminally (CYFIP2-SmBiT) or C-terminally (SmBiT-CYFIP2) and expressed in HEK293 or COS7 cells. When the two proteins interact, a luminescent signal is generated in the presence of substrate. (A) Expression of Boc-LgBiT and CYFIP2-SmBit alone or (B) expression of Boc-LgBiT and SmBit-CYFIP2 alone does not generate a luminescent signal. (Left) When Boc-LgBiT is expressed with CYFIP2-SmBiT (A) or SmBit-CYFIP2 (B), they interact to generate a luminescent signal.

(A) WAVE1 (W1) WAVE2 (W2) or both (DKO) proteins were knocked out in wild type (WT) HeLa cells via CRISPR/Cas9 and confirmed by Western blotting. (B) Representative phase-contrast images of WT, W1KO, W2KO, and W1/W2KO HeLa cells were taken on the FloID Cell Imaging Station (20x magnification, scale bar = 50μm). (C) W1KO, W2KO, and W1/W2KO HeLa cells were seeded in equal amounts, grown for 48 hours, and then analyzed for differences in DNA quantity via CyQUANT Cell Proliferation Assay (Thermo Fisher) compared to WT. (D and E) WT, W1KO, W2KO, and W1/W2KO HeLa or B16- F1 cells were treated with HPV16 PsVs (TCID 30 ) containing a GFP reporter plasmid. The percentage of infected cells (based on GFP reporter gene expression) was measured at 48 hours post infection via flow cytometry. Background from mock infected cells was subtracted. For HeLa cells, at least 2 independent clones of each knockout were screened for consistent inhibition of HPV16 infection. Each bar represents three biological repeats comprised of technical triplicates and show DNA quantification over 48 hours (Panel C) or the mean %GFP+ cells ± standard deviation (n=3, normalized to WT) (Panels D and E). 1-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test was used to statistically determine significance (ns=not significant, **p<0.001, ***p<0.0001, ****p<0.0001).

(A and C) WT and W1KO or W2KO cells were transduced with a mammalian gene expression lentiviral control vector or a vector containing either GFP-WAVE1 or GFP-WAVE2, respectively (Vector Builder). Transduced cells received an antibiotic resistance gene and underwent selection. (B and D) WT, KO, and cells with WAVE protein expression restored were treated with HPV16 PsVs (TCID 30 ) containing an RFP reporter plasmid. The percentage of infected cells (RFP reporter gene transduction) was measured at 48 hours post infection via flow cytometry. Background from mock infected cells was subtracted. Each bar represents three biological repeats comprised of technical triplicates and show the mean %RFP+ cells ± standard deviation (n=3, normalized to WT). 1-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test was used to statistically determine significance (ns=not significant, **p<0.001, ***p<0.0001, ****p<0.0001).

WT HeLa cells expressing LifeAct-GFP seeded in chambered microscope slides were first cooled from 37°C to 4°C for 0.5 h to inhibit endocytosis prior to the addition of HPV16 VLPs (10 ng/1E6 cells) in ice cold media for 1 hour. Cells were then returned to 37°C for 10 minutes prior to fixation with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 minutes at room temperature, which was the temperature for subsequent steps. Samples were then permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100, blocked with 1% BSA, and immunostained against HPV16 L1 and (A) WAVE1 or (C) WAVE2. Hoescht 33342 was added during secondary antibody addition as a counterstain. Z-stacked images were generated via laser scanning confocal microscopy. (A and C) maximum intensity projections of Z-stacks of images depicting candidate cells. The color channels are labeled at the upper left of each image. (B and D) to analyze the spatial relationship between signals, we utilized Imaris 10.1.1 Microscopy Image Analysis Software (Oxford Instruments). Briefly, a “surface” was created for each signal, which is an Imaris segmentation algorithm. Surfaces were generated to provide object-object statistics. Parameters included the smoothing of surface details to 0.2 um with the method of absolute intensity thresholding. Background signal was subtracted through voxel size filtration (voxels smaller than 10 were excluded). Next, colocalization between channels was determined by the colocalization tool. Colocalized voxels (as determined by a Manders’ coefficient of 1) between surfaces were determined by first thresholding images to include true signals and restrict noise. New channels were then created of colocalization voxels. For both conditions, 3 fields containing 5-15 cells across 3 biological replicates were imaged. Scale = 10 µm.
