Fold changes were calculated as the enrichment in ChIP over the respective input sample and internally normalized over a gene desert region (NW_021837055.1_88,280-89,336). Data represent the mean ± SD of two biological replicates in two independent ChIP experiments. C) Coverage of H3K9me3 enrichment over input of the ChIP-seq reads mapping to the combined Ae. albopictus repeat annotation consisting of Ae. albopictus repeat annotation and the AaERV1 consensus sequence. Log 2 enrichment of the H3K9me3 signal is shown across all repeat elements annotated in the Ae. albopictus repeat annotation (left), LTR Gypsy-family 3394 (middle), and the AaERV1 consensus sequence (right). Coverage was calculated over 100 bp windows with smoothening over 300 bp windows, and enrichment was calculated by taking the log 2 of H3K9me3 signal over input signal.

    Mouse heparanase (mHPSE) restricts retrovirus transcription initiation. ( A ) mHPSE is primarily localized in the nucleus. 293T cells were transfected with plasmids encoding mHPSE or co-transfected with mHPSE and an MLV infectious clone, and then fractionated into whole cell lysate (WC), cytosolic fraction ( C ), or nuclear fraction ( N ). Samples were then analyzed by immunoblotting for the indicated proteins. Representative immunoblotting results of three independent experiments are shown. ( B ) mHPSE does not affect particle infectivity of progeny virions. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) wild type (WT) and MEF Hpse−/− (KO) were infected with MLV (0.1 MOI), and equal amounts of the subsequently produced viruses were used to infect Mus dunni cells. At 24 h post-infection, MLV DNA levels were determined by qPCR and normalized to GADPH . ( C ) mHPSE does not affect MLV integration. 293T-MCAT-1 cells were transfected with either mHPSE-expressing or empty vector (EV) plasmids, and then infected in either the presence or absence of 100 nM Raltegravir (RAL) with equal amounts of luciferase reporter pseudoviruses bearing the MLV envelope. Viral DNA was measured by qPCR and normalized to gapdh . ( D ) mHPSE reduces levels of all MLV viral transcripts. 293T cells were co-transfected with an MLV infectious clone and either EV or increasing amounts of mHPSE-expressing plasmid. After 48 h, MLV RNA transcripts were quantified by RT-qPCR, with primers targeting the indicated regions. ( E ) Endogenous mHPSE restricts MLV expression. MEF WT and MEF KO cells were infected with equal amounts of MLV envelope pseudotyped luciferase reporter virus, and, at 2 dpi, luciferase expression was measured by luminescence assay and normalized to pseudovirus integration levels. ( F–G ) mHPSE does not affect the stability of MLV RNA. 293T cells were co-transfected with plasmids encoding MLV and either mHPSE or EV. Cells were then treated with 20 µg /mL of actinomycin D, and MLV RNA levels were quantified by RT-qPCR at the indicated time points post-treatment. ( F ) Data presented as mean MLV RNA normalized to GAPDH . ( G ) To measure the rate of RNA decay, MLV RNA values from F were normalized to the 0 h time point. ( H ) mHPSE decreases the association of RNA Pol II with the MLV LTR. WT and Hpse KO MEFs were infected with MLV envelope pseudotyped luciferase reporter virus. DNA was subsequently precipitated with an antibody targeting RNA Pol II (αRP) or an isotype control (IgG), and enrichment of RNA Pol II on the MLV LTR was determined by qPCR, with primers targeting the MLV LTR and normalized to LTR DNA present in input samples. All data in graphs presented as mean ± standard error of the mean.

    A–B) ChIP-qPCR showing the enrichment of RNA polymerase II (RNA pol II) at the AalERV1 LTR (A) and the enrichment of H3K9me3 in the transposon body (B). Fold changes were calculated as the enrichment in ChIP over the respective input sample and internally normalized over a gene desert region (NW_021837055.1_88,280-89,336). Data represent the mean ± SD of two biological replicates in two independent ChIP experiments. C) Coverage of H3K9me3 enrichment over input of the ChIP-seq reads mapping to the combined Ae. albopictus repeat annotation consisting of Ae. albopictus repeat annotation and the AaERV1 consensus sequence. Log 2 enrichment of the H3K9me3 signal is shown across all repeat elements annotated in the Ae. albopictus repeat annotation (left), LTR Gypsy-family 3394 (middle), and the AaERV1 consensus sequence (right). Coverage was calculated over 100 bp windows with smoothening over 300 bp windows, and enrichment was calculated by taking the log 2 of H3K9me3 signal over input signal. ChIP-seq and input signals from individual samples are shown in Supplementary Figure S7C. See also Figure S5 and S7.
