Figure 4. An siRNA-based knockdown approach to investigate the role of Nups and NTRs in MX2 localization and anti-viral activity.

Figure 4.

(A) Schematic representation of the nuclear pore complex and genes included in siRNA library color coded by subcomplex. (*NUP98 is listed as a member of Nup107 subcomplex, however. NUP98 and NUP96 are produced following autoproteolytic cleavage of a polyprotein precursor (Fontoura et al., 1999; Rosenblum and Blobel, 1999), the siRNA used herein targets both Nups). Importins/nuclear transport receptors (NTRs) included in the siRNA library are listed in black. Also included, siRNA targeting MX2 or CPSF6 and a non-targeting control siRNA. (B) Experimental strategy to investigate the roles of Nups and NTRs involved in HIV-1 infection, MX2 subcellular localization, and anti-viral activity of MX2. For a detailed description, refer to the Materials and methods.
