Figure Lengend Snippet: Interaction of ORF5 with GPNMB. (A) Exogenous co-IP analysis of ORF5 and GPNMB in PAMs. Cells were co-transfected with plasmids GFP-ORF5 and Flag-GPNMB. PAMs co-transfected with GFP-C1 and Flag-GPNMB were used as negative controls. A quarter of the cell extract was subjected to the input assay to assess β-actin, Flag-fusion and GFP-fusion protein levels. The rest of the extract was subjected to IP assay. Western blot detected proteins with a mouse anti-GFP mAb and a mouse anti-Flag pAb. (B) ORF5 protein co-localizes with GPNMB. HEK-293T cells were co-transfected with pGPNMB-Red and pORF5-GFP, pEGFP-C1 and pDsRed-N1 were used as control. Cells were fixed and stained with DAPI (blue) at 48 h post-transfection. Scale bar = 10 μm. (C) Endogenous co-IP analysis of ORF5 and GPNMB in PAMs. Cells were transfected with plasmid GFP-ORF5-Flag and GFP-C1-transfected PAMs were used as negative controls. The input assay was performed using a quarter of the cell extract to assess β-actin, Flag fusion protein and GPNMB levels. (D) GST-ORF5 pull-down assay. The GST and GST-ORF5 proteins expressed in Escherichia coli Rosetta (DE3) cells were immobilized on a glutathione agarose resin, followed by incubation of the resin with the cell lysates containing GPNMB-Flag protein.
