  1. WT, Wild type.
  2. ND, Not determined.
  3. aRestriction was measured by infecting cells expressing the indicated MxB variant with HIV-1-GFP. After 48 hours, the percentage of GFP-positive cells (infected cells) was determined by flow cytometry. “+”: indicates restriction, “-”: indicates absence of restriction. ND: Not Determined.
  4. bBinding to the HIV-1 capsid complexes was determined for each MxB variant as described in Methods. “+++”: indicates 100% binding which corresponds to the amount of wild type MxB bound to HIV-1 CA-NC complexes, “+”: indicates ~10% binding compared to wild type MxB when expressed at similar levels, “-”: indicates no binding. Experiments were repeated at least three times, and standard deviations are shown in Figure legends.
  5. cWild type and mutant MxB-FLAG proteins were assayed for association with wild-type MxB-HA as described in Methods. “+”: oligomerization observed in wild-type MxB when expressed at similar levels. ND: Not Determined.
