Figure 2From: Interferon-induced HERC5 is evolving under positive selection and inhibits HIV-1 particle production by a novel mechanism targeting Rev/RRE-dependent RNA nuclear exportEndogenous HERC5 inhibits intracellular Gag protein production. A, 293T cells were co-transfected with pR9 and either pScram or pHERC5shRNA. Forty-eight hours after transfection, cell lysates were subjected to Western blotting using anti-p24CA or anti-β-actin as a loading control. B, Cells were transfected as in part A for 24 hours and then treated with 500 units/ml of IFN-β. Sixteen hours after IFN-β treatment, cell lysates were subjected to Western blotting using anti-p24CA or anti-β-actin as a loading control. Data shown in panels A and B are representative of at least three independent experiments. C, Human monocyte-derived macrophages from two different donors were transfected as in panel A. Seventy-two hours after transfection, cell lysates were subjected to Western blotting using anti-p24CA or anti-β-actin as a loading control.Back to article page
