a Analysis of the role of ALCAM-EndoA3 axis in HAdV-B7 (clinical isolate) internalization. HAdV-B7 L3 DNA is quantified in non-targeting, EndoA3 knockout-1, EndoA3 knockout-2, ALCAM-/-, Endo A3/ALCAM dual knockout-1 and Endo A3/ALCAM dual knockout-2 cells at 48 h post infection. b Analysis of the individual and combinatorial effects of DSG-2 and ALCAM depletion on clinical HAdV-B7 infection. HAdV-B7 L3 DNA is quantified in non-targeting, ALCAM knockdown, DSG-2 knockout-2, DSG-2 knockout/ALCAM knockdown cells at 48 h post infection of HAdV-B7 infection. c, d Analysis of the interaction between ALCAM (ligand) and HAdV-B7 knob domain (analyte) using SPR with Biacore 8 K. c Association and dissociation curves. d Curve-fitting using a steady-state affinity method with constant Rmax analysis. e Summary of the determined KD values for different partner proteins. Evaluation of the effects of fiber knob (f) and ALCAM (g) proteins on blocking HAdV-B7 infection in wide-type HEK-293A cells. f HEK-293A cells are pre-treated with fiber knob protein for 30 min and then incubated with HAdV-B7. g HAdV-B7 is pre-treated with ALCAM protein and then supplemented into HEK-293A cells. For (f, g), HAdV-B7 fiber DNA is quantified by qPCR at 45 min after incubation. For (a, b and f, g), data are presented as mean ± SD (n ≥ 3) from independent biological replicates. The significant difference is analyzed by two-tailed unpaired Student’s t test. For (a), the p values between on-targeting,- EndoA3 knockout-1, EndoA3 knockout-2, Endo A3/ALCAM dual knockout-1 and Endo A3/ALCAM dual knockout-2 cells cell are 5e-8, 1e-7, 8e-6, and 8e-6 respectively.
