Figure Lengend Snippet: Flp-In T-REx HEK293 Hu Jaw1 cells were treated with siRNA against spcs1, spcs2 , and spcs3 for 48 h. After 24 h from the start of siRNA treatment, the cells were treated with Dox for 24 h.

E-G ) Graphs showing the relative expression level of SPCS1 (E), SPCS2 (F), and SEC11A (G) in (D). H ) Graph showing the percentage of Jaw1 C-terminal cleavage in (D). A-C, E-H ) The averages of three independent experiments per condition are shown in the graphs. Error bar shows ±SD, “n.s.”, not significant; * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001; **** P < 0.0001.

Article Snippet: The membranes were blocked in 3% skim milk (#190-12865; FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) diluted with Tris-buffered saline (TBS) (20 mM Tris–HCl pH 7.6 and 137 mM NaCl) containing 0.1% Tween-20 (TBS-T) for 1 h. After washing the membrane with TBS-T, it was reacted with the following primary antibodies diluted with 1% skim milk/TBS-T overnight at 4°C: anti-FLAG mouse antibody (1:1000) (#014-23383; FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Corporation, Tokyo, Japan), anti-GAPDH mouse monoclonal antibody (1:1000) (#016-25523; FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Corporation, Tokyo, Japan), anti-Jaw1 Coil rat antibody (1:500 or 1:1000) (produced in our laboratory as previously described ( Kozono et al ., 2018 )), anti-SEC11A rabbit polyclonal antibody (1:1000) (#14753-1-AP; Proteintech, Wuhan, Hubei, China), anti-SPCS1 rabbit polyclonal antibody (1:1000) (#11847-1-AP; Proteintech, Wuhan, Hubei, China), anti-SPCS2 rabbit polyclonal antibody (1:1000) (#14872-1-AP; Proteintech, Wuhan, Hubei, China), anti-Jaw1 N rabbit antibody (1:1000) (produced in our laboratory as described ( Okumura et al ., 2022 )), anti-IP 3 R1 rabbit antibody (1:1000) (#A7905; ABclonal, Wuhan, China), anti-IP 3 R2 mouse antibody (1:1000) (#sc-398434; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, CA, USA), and anti-IP 3 R3 mouse antibody (1:1000) (#610312;BD Bioscience, CA, USA).

Figure Lengend Snippet: A ) Schematic representation of Jaw1 and Jaw1 opsin. The opsin tag was added to its C-terminal end. B, C ) FLAG Hu Jaw1, FLAG Hu Jaw1 opsin, FLAG Hu AASS, and FLAG Hu AASS opsin (B) and FLAG Ms Jaw1, FLAG Ms Jaw1 opsin, FLAG Ms AASS, and FLAG Ms AASS opsin (C) were expressed in HEK293 cells by transfection. After incubation for 24 h, the lysates samples were treated with or without EndoH and subjected to western blotting using an anti-FLAG mouse antibody. D ) FLAG Hu Jaw1 opsin was expressed in SEC11A KO #3 and #9 and SEC11C KO #1 and #4 cells by transfection. After incubation for 24 h, the lysates were subjected to western blotting using an anti-FLAG mouse antibody. E ) Flp-In T-REx HEK293 Hu Jaw1 opsin cells were treated with siRNA against spcs1, spcs2 , and spcs3 for 48 h. After 24 h from the start of siRNA treatment, the cells were treated with Dox for 24 h. After that, the lysates were subjected to western blotting using an anti-Jaw1 Coil antibody. Hu Jaw1 opsin expressed by the treatment with Dox in this cell does not bear the N-terminal tags unlike FLAG Hu Jaw1 opsin in (B) and (D), thereby, an anti-Jaw1 Coil antibody but not an anti-FLAG mouse antibody was used. B-E ) Open triangles, the bands of ER-inserted uncleaved Jaw1 with N -linked glycosylation; closed triangles, the bands of the pre-inserted Jaw1(black) and cleaved Jaw1 (gray). The representative blot images from three independent experiments with similar results are shown.
