Cell lysates were immunoprecipitated with anti-Xpress antibody, followed by western blotting with anti-Myc or anti-Xpress antibody. c HEK293 cells were transfected for 24 h with plasmid encoding Xpress-His-CHIP, FLAG-ISG15, FLAG-HERC5-WT, or its catalytically inactive mutant FLAG-HERC5-CA, alone or in combination. Cell lysates were subjected to NTA pull-down (PD: NTA) under denaturing conditions followed by western blotting with anti-FLAG or anti-Xpress antibody. d Cells were transfected for 24 h with plasmid encoding Xpress-His-CHIP, FLAG-ISG15, Myc-EFP-WT, or Myc-tagged catalytically inactive EFP mutant Myc-EFP-CS, alone or in combination. Cell lysates were subjected to NTA pull-down, as in c . e HEK293 cells were transfected for 48 h with nonspecific control scrambled siRNA (NC), HERC5 -siRNA (H5), or plasmid encoding Xpress-His-CHIP or FLAG-ISG15, alone or in combination. Cell lysates were subjected to NTA pull-down as in b . f Cells were transfected for 36 h with plasmid encoding Xpress-His-CHIP, FLAG-ISG15, or Flag-HHARI, alone or in combination. Cell lysates were immunoprecipitated with anti-Xpress antibody, followed by western blotting with anti-Flag or anti-Xpress antibody.

Figure Lengend Snippet: a , b All samples were transfected with plasmids encoding UBE1L and Myc-UbcH8. a HEK293 cells were transfected for 24 h with plasmid encoding HA-CHIP, FLAG-ISG15-GG, or FLAG-ISG15-AA, alone or in combination. Cells were treated for an additional 6 h with 10 μM MG132. Cell lysates were immunoprecipitated with anti-HA antibody, followed by western blotting with anti-ubiquitin antibody. Tubulin served as a loading control. b HEK293 cells were transfected for 24 h with plasmid encoding Xpress-His-CHIP, FLAG-ISG15, FLAG-HERC5-WT, or FLAG-HERC5-CA, alone or in combination, and treated for an additional 6 h with 10 μM MG132. Cell lysates were immunoprecipitated with anti-Xpress antibody, followed by western blotting with anti-ubiquitin antibody. Actin served a as loading control. c A549 cells were treated for 48 h with vehicle (−) or IFN-α (1000 U/ml). Immunoprecipitation of cell lysates was performed with preimmune IgG or anti-CHIP antibody, followed by western blotting with anti-ubiquitin or anti-CHIP antibody. Tubulin served as a loading control

Figure Lengend Snippet: a , HEK293-CD13-myc ISG15 stable cells were infected with HCoV-229E at an MOI of 0.01 for 72 h prior to collection of cell lysates (lysates) and supernatant (S/N) prior to western blot with anti-myc Ab (as above) to detect transfected ISG15. The level of ISG15 in the supernatant was normalized to cell lysates and loading control (GAPDH), and was expressed relative to the most abundant protein in the supernatant ( Mops condylurus ). Only ISG15 of Mops condylurus was significantly secreted into the supernatant and secretion further increased during HCoV-229E infection. Mean and standard error of the mean are displayed, including individual points (black) for n = 3 independent experiments. Significance was tested with a two-tailed t-test comparing infection to ISG15 alone. Raw data are provided in Supplementary Table . b , An example western blot image (as per panel a) showing high and low exposure of ISG15 supernatant (S/N), HCoV-229E N protein, GAPDH and ISG15 bands in the HEK293-subclone-ΔISG15 cell lysate with protein ladders. Lanes are as indicated. c , Example western blot image with low and high contrast showing ISG15 conjugation (α-myc) after transfection with ISG15’s and HCoV-229E infection (−/+). Arrows indicate bands not seen in the empty vector control (conjugated proteins). d , Western blot of E1 ligase (UBE1L), E2 ligase (UBE2L6) and E3 ligase (HERC5) expression, together with GAPDH in the same samples shown in panel c, indicating sufficient expression of ISGylation machinery in the HEK293-subclone-ΔISG15 cell line. e , HEK293-subclone-ΔISG15 cells were transfected with ISG15 constructs as indicated and with/without NSP3C/L (SARS-CoV-2 PLpro). As per panel c, arrows indicate ISGylation bands, or ISG15 dimer/monomer. The amount of ISG15 present was calculated, normalized to GAPDH and quantified from three western blots. One of the three western blots is shown as an example. f , Representative western blot for the amount of ISG15 present in the supernatant (matched to e). g , ISGylation machinery expression, as per panel d, for NSP3C samples used in panel e and f and Fig. . Western blots in panels b-g are matched to the quantification in Fig. .
