Figure 1. RNF11 is a negative regulator of virus-induced IFN-β production.

Figure 1

(A) Micrographs of 293T cells transfected with either empty vector or Myc-RNF11 and then infected with VSV-GFP (MOI of 0.1) 24 h later. Pictures were taken 24 h post-infection. Immunoblotting was conducted with protein lysates using anti-Myc, anti-GFP and anti-Actin (right panel). (B) MEFs were transfected with either empty vector or Myc-RNF11 and were transfected again with poly(I:C) (15 μg) 24 h later. An IFN-β ELISA was performed 16 h later using supernatants. Immunoblotting was conducted with anti-Myc and anti-Actin. (C) 293T cells were transfected with an IFN-β luciferase reporter (200 ng), pRL-tk (20 ng), empty vector (1 µg) or RNF11-GFP (1 µg). Cells were transfected 24 h later with poly(I:C) (15 µg) and dual luciferase assays were performed after 16 h. Immunoblotting was conducted with protein lysates using anti-GFP and anti-Actin. (D) 293T cells were transfected with RNF11-GFP (1 μg) and Myc-A20 (1 μg) and then transfected 24 h later with poly(I:C) (20 µg). Immunoblotting was performed with anti-p-IRF3, anti-Myc, anti-GFP, anti-IRF3 and anti-Actin.
