Fig 1. Experimental design for proteomic analysis of MAM fractions during RNA virus replication.

Fig 1

(A) Percoll gradient biochemical fractionation scheme. (B) Electron micrograph of Huh7.5 cells. MAM is indicated by the arrow pointing to the membrane wrapping around a mitochondrion. (C) Percoll gradient illustrating a representative fractionation of PH5CH8 cells at the mitochondria/MAM isolation step. MAM and mitochondria were extracted from the gradient by a needle at the location indicated by the arrow and subjected to further purification. (D) Immunoblot analysis of biochemical fractions isolated from PH5CH8 cells. Fractionation markers: calnexin, ER; Cox-1, mitochondria; FACL4, MAM; tubulin, cytosol. (E) Experimental scheme for proteomic analysis.
