a Immunoprecipitation analysis of ubiquitination of endogenous Tyk2, JAK1, STAT1, and STAT2 in HEK293T cells cotransfected with Flag-LUBAC and HA-Ub-K0 (HA-K0, all lysines on Ub are mutated to arginine) using a HA antibody. b Western blot analysis of the JAK-STAT signaling proteins (p-Tyk2, Tyk2, p-JAK1, and JAK1) in HEK293T cells transfected with Flag-LUBAC and then treated with IFNα (1000 IU/ml) as indicated. c Immunoprecipitation analysis of STAT1 ubiquitination in HEK293T cells cotransfected with Myc-STAT1 (WT or its mutants) and HA-K0. d Highly conserved lysine (K) residues (K511 and K652) on STAT1 from different species. e Immunoprecipitation analysis of linear ubiquitination of STAT1 in U3A (Stat1−/−) cells transfected with Myc-STAT1 (WT), -K511R, -K652R, or -DM (K511/652R). f Immunoprecipitation analysis of the interaction between Flag-HOIP and Myc-STAT1 (WT, K511R, K652R, and DM) in HEK293T cells. g Immunoprecipitation analysis of linear ubiquitination of STAT1 in HEK293T cells cotransfected with Myc-STAT1 (WT or DM) and (or) Flag-LUBAC. h Western blot analysis of pY-STAT1 in U3A cells transfected with Myc-STAT1 (WT or DM) and then treated with IFNα (1000 IU/ml) as indicated. i Dual-luciferase reporter assay of the ISRE activity in HEK293T cells cotransfected with Myc-STAT1 (WT or DM), ISRE luciferase, and Renilla, and then stimulated with IFNα (1000 IU/ml) for 20 h. j RT-qPCR analysis of Ifit1 mRNA in U3A cells transfected with Myc-STAT1 (WT or DM), and then treated with IFNβ (1000 IU/ml) for 4 h. k RT-qPCR analysis of VSV viral RNA in Stat1−/− MEF cells transfected with Myc-STAT1 (WT or DM), and then treated with mIFNβ (60 IU/ml) for 20 h, followed by infection with VSV (MOI = 0.1) for 24 h. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001 (two-tailed unpaired Student’s t test). Data are shown as mean and s.d. of three biological replicates (i, j, k), or are representative of three independent experiments (a–c, e–h).
