CBP80 cooperates with the functions of Rev on Gag synthesis from the unspliced mRNA. (A) HeLa cells were transfected with 1 μg pNL4.3-wt together with 1 μg pCMV-myc-CBP80 or 1 μg pCMV-myc-eIF4E. At 24 hpt, the interaction between the unspliced mRNA and the myc- tagged protein was analyzed by the ISH-PLA protocol described in materials and methods. Red dots indicate the interactions between the unspliced mRNA and the corresponding myc-tagged protein. Scale bar 10 μm. A quantification of the dots/cell in each condition is presented on the right (****P < 0.0001, Mann–Whitney test). (B) HeLa cells were transfected with 0.3 μg of pNL4.3R or pNL4.3R ΔRev proviruses together with 1 μg of pCMV-myc-CBP80 or pCMV-myc-eIF4E (pCMV-myc-d2EGFP was used as control). At 24 hpt, cell extracts were prepared for Gag-Renilla activity measurement and for cytoplasmic RNA extraction and RT-qPCR analyzes. Results for Gag synthesis (left panel), cytoplasmic unspliced mRNA (middle panel) and translational efficiency (right panel) were normalized to the wild type provirus (arbitrary set to 100%) and presented as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments (*P < 0.05; ***P < 0.001 and NS; non-significant, t-test). (C) HeLa cells were transfected with 0.3 μg of pNL4.3R or pNL4.3R ΔRev proviruses together with 1 μg of pCMV-myc-CBP80 (pCMV-myc-d2EGFP was used as control) as described in materials and methods. At 24 hpt, cell extracts were prepared for Gag-Renilla activity measurement and for cytoplasmic RNA extraction and RT-qPCR analyzes. Results for Gag synthesis (left panel), cytoplasmic unspliced mRNA (middle panel) and translational efficiency (right panel) were normalized to the wild type provirus (arbitrary set to 100%) and presented as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01 and NS; non-significant, t-test). (D) HeLa cells were transfected with 1 μg pCDNA-Flag-Rev and 1 μg pCDNA-V5-CBP80. At 24 hpt, the interaction between Flag-Rev and V5-CBP80 was analyzed by PLA. Red dots indicate interactions between both proteins. Scale bar 10 μm.
