Figure Lengend Snippet: PHB1 negatively regulates the IFN-β signal pathway by targeting IRF3 signaling. (A–J) The effects of (A–E) PHB1 overexpression or (F-J) PHB1 silencing on the activity of IFN-β promoter induced by adaptor molecules including (A and E) RIG-I, (B and G) MAVS, (C and H) IKK-ε, (D and I) TBK1, and (E and J) IRF3 were examined. HEK293T cells were transfected with IFN-β-luc, pRL-TK, and the indicated plasmids expressing the signal molecules, along with Flag-PHB1 or si-PHB1. Luciferase activities were measured at 24 hpi. The expression levels of PHB1 and each signal molecule were detected by western blot. The data are presented as the mean ± SD from three independent experiments. (K–M) PHB1 co-purified with IRF3. (K and L) The co-purification between PHB1 and IRF3 in transfected cells. HEK293T cells were co-transfected with the indicated plasmids for 24 h. Co-IP was performed using either (K) anti-Flag or (L) anti-HA antibodies, followed by western blot. (M) The co-purification between endogenous PHB1 and IRF3. Co-IP was performed using an anti-IRF3 rabbit antibody or rabbit IgG with or without SeV infection. The endogenous IRF3 and coprecipitated PHB1 were detected using an anti-IRF3 antibody and an anti-PHB1 antibody, respectively. Rabbit IgG was used as the negative control. GAPDH was used as a control. The band intensities were quantified by ImageJ, and the relative levels of PHB1/IRF3 are shown (*, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001).
