Figure Legend Snippet: BKPyV particles are released within EVs. (A) Chronically infected Vero cells were fixed and processed for electron microscopy. Electron micrographs show the presence of viral particles (indicated by arrowheads) in MVBs. The right panel (bar, 100 nm) corresponds to an enlargement of the left panel (bar, 0.2 μm). (B) Vero cells were infected with BKPyV at an MOI of 1. Supernatant was harvested 3 days postinfection, filtered at 0.45 μm, and overlaid on a 20% to 45% (wt/vol) iodixanol gradient. After a 24-h ultracentrifugation, 17 fractions were collected. The density (g/ml) of each fraction was calculated according to the optical density at 340 nm. BKPyV infectivity in each fraction was assessed by immunofluorescence 3 days after infection of naive Vero cells. It is expressed as percentages of infected cells. AChE activity was analyzed to detect the presence of EVs in each fraction. (C) EVs contained in the supernatant of infected cells were concentrated 100× by PEG precipitation and overlaid on a 20% to 45% (wt/vol) iodixanol gradient. The presence of EVs in fractions 1 to 13 was evaluated by the detection of CD9, CD63, and CD81 by Western blotting. The presence of viral capsids was evaluated by the detection of VP1. The presence of contaminating small cellular organelles was evaluated by the detection of GM130 and calnexin. (D) The experiment was performed as for panel B with the supernatant of HRPTE cells, harvested 10 days postinfection. (E) Fractions containing eBKPyV (fraction 6) or naked BKPyV (fraction 12) were treated with different concentrations of proteinase K for 10 min. The volumes of the fractions were adjusted to treat similar amounts of the VP1 protein under both conditions. The sensitivity to proteinase K digestion was then assessed by detection of the VP1 capsid protein by Western blotting (top panel) and evaluated by quantifying the relative amount of VP1 on the Western blots using ImageJ (bottom panel). Results are reported as the means ± standard deviations from two independent experiments. (F) After iodixanol gradient ultracentrifugation, fractions containing eBKPyV or naked BKPyV were treated with chloroform or left untreated and then analyzed for infectivity on naive Vero cells. (G) The supernatant of Vero cells was harvested 4 days postinfection and treated with chloroform or left untreated before performing the buoyant density iodixanol gradient ultracentrifugation. Results presented in panels B, D, F, and G are means from duplicates from representative experiments.

The brain (right) mitochondrial sample revealed Polβ after proteinase digestion, evidence that Polβ was inside the mitochondrial membrane. VDAC1 was used as a mitochondrial outer membrane marker and was digested at 0.5 mg/ml proteinase. Lamin A/C was used as a marker for nuclear contamination. GAPDH shows the extent of cytoplasmic contamination. A second antibody was also used to verify the results [Polβ (Rb)]. Fifty micrograms of protein was loaded. (B) The kidney preparations had a clear Polβ band present. Human kidney cells (HEK293T) were used to determine whether Polβ was found in the mitochondria of human cells and whether the levels could be artificially manipulated. Vector control HEK293T preparations had visible amounts of endogenous Polβ present. Overexpression of Polβ caused elevated levels of mitochondrial Polβ. The TFAM mitochondrial control antibody detected only the human form of the protein. (C) To verify Polβ antibody specificity, HEK293T cells were modified for Polβ knockout using CRISPR/cas9.

Figure Legend Snippet: Venn diagram of transcripts that increased after proteinase K treatment of cell lysates. Transcripts were evaluated that had a ≥1.5-fold increase in abundance after proteinase K treatment of SP culture and Q and NQ cell fraction lysates. The transcripts
Techniques Used:

Figure Legend Snippet: mRNA abundance in Q and NQ samples treated with or without proteinase K. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering (Pearson's centered, average-linkage) was used to cluster ∼2400 transcripts. Samples include, unseparated SP culture (SP) and Q and NQ

Figure Legend Snippet: sWGA blot of whole-cell extracts derived from the wild type and tagE5E6 deletion mutant with or without proteinase K treatment for 10, 30, or 60 min. On the left side of the blot the protein sizes are indicated based on the Precision Plus protein dual color standard (Bio-Rad) molecular marker.
