    A. A549 cells were infected with WSN or VIC at a MOI of 5 PFU/cell for 8 h, or mock-infected. Fixed cells were stained for the viral NP and the cellular markers for ER sheets and ER tubules, <t>CLIMP63</t> and RTN3, respectively. The RTN3 staining was used to delineate the cell edges. Nuclei were stained with DAPI and cells were imaged with a confocal microscope. Scale bar: 10 µm. B. A549 cells treated as in A were analyzed with the Cell Profiler software in order to segment CLIMP63+ and RTN3+ areas based on the Otsu thresholding method. The ratios of the CLIMP63+ area to the RTN3+ area are shown. Each dot represents one cell, and the data from three independent experiments are shown (black, grey and white dots). The median and interquartile values are represented as box-plots (200-350 cells per condition). *** : p-value < 0.001, one-way ANOVA. C-D. A549 cells were infected or mock-infected as in A. At 8 hpi total cell lysates were prepared and analysed by western blot, using the indicated antibodies. (C) Cropped blots of one representative experiment out of three are shown. (D) The signals for CLIMP63 and RTN3 are normalised over the tubulin signal and expressed as percentages (100% : mock-infected cells). The data shown are the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. No significant difference is detected between infected and mock-infected cells (two-way ANOVA with Sidak’s multiple comparison test).

    A. A549 cells were infected with WSN at a MOI of 5 PFU/cell for 8 h. Fixed cells were stained for the viral HA and cellular CLIMP63 proteins. Nuclei were stained with DAPI and cells were imaged with a confocal microscope. Scale bar: 10µm. B. Fluorescence intensity profile for HA (cyan) and CLIMP63 (magenta) along the white line drawn in panel A (merge inset), starting from the knob. C. A549 cells were infected with ZIKV PF13 at a MOI of 5 PFU/cell for 24 h, or mock-infected. Fixed cells were stained for the viral NP and the cellular RTN3 and CLIMP63 proteins. The RTN3 staining was used to delineate the cell edges. Nuclei were stained with DAPI and cells were imaged with a confocal microscope. White arrows indicate viral factories surrounded with remodelled ER membranes. Scale bar: 10µm.

    A. A549cells were infected with the WSN-PB2-Strep virus at a MOI 5 PFU/cell for 8 h. Fixed cells were stained for NP, PB2 (StrepTactin-488) and RAB11. Nuclei were stained with DAPI and cells were imaged with a confocal microscope. Scale bar: 10µm. B. Fluorescence intensity profile for NP (red), PB2-Strep-tag (cyan) and RAB11 (magenta) along the white line drawn in panel A (merge inset), starting from the knob. C. A549 cells were treated with RAB11A-specific or control Non-Target (NT) siRNAs for 48 h, and subsequently infected with WSN at a MOI of 5 PFU/cell for 8 h, or mock infected. Fixed cells were stained for the viral NP and cellular RTN3 and CLIMP63 proteins. The difference in permeabilisation protocols (saponin versus Triton) most likely accounts for the difference in NP signal patterns in this experiment compared to the experiment shown in Figure 2A. Scale bar: 10µm.

U2OS cells stably expressing the ER translocon Sec61ß fused to mEmerald (U2OS-Sec61ß-mEmerald) were treated with RAB11A-specific or control Non-Target (NT) siRNAs for 48 h, and subsequently infected with WSN at a MOI of 5 PFU/cell for 8 h. Fixed cells were stained for NP and Sec61ß-mEmerald (anti-GFP antibody) and images were acquired using STED microscopy. Scale bar: 10µm. D. U2OS-Sec61ß-mEmerald cells treated as in A were analyzed to assess colocalization of NP and Sec61ß, using a pixel-based method to determine the Pearson coefficient on a region of interest corresponding to the whole cell or to the perinuclear region, as defined in the Methods section. Each dot represents one cell, and the data from three independent experiments are shown (black, grey and white dots. The median and interquartile values are represented as box-plots (18 and 19 cells treated with the NT or RAB11A-specific siRNAs, respectively). ns: non-significant (unpaired t-test).
