(A) Chicken DF1 cells were transfected with indicated the plasmids. Immunoprecipitation was carried out to detect interaction between chMyD88 and chSPOP using the anti-FLAG or anti-Myc antibody, followed by immunoblot analysis with indicated antibodies. (B) Co-immunoprecipitation of endogenous chSPOP and endogenous chMyD88. Cell lysates were immunoprecipitated by anti-SPOP or control IgG antibody, followed by immunoblot with indicated antibodies. (C) Immunofluorescence analysis of chMyD88 and chSPOP. Chicken DF1 cells transfected with FLAG-tagged chMyD88 and Myc-tagged chSPOP. The cells were fixed and incubated with anti-FLAG and anti-Myc antibodies, followed by incubation with secondary antibody. Nuclei were stained with DAPI. The colocalization of chMyD88 and chSPOP was detected by a confocal microscopy. (D) Schematic presentation of chMyD88 and its truncation mutants. FL, full-length; DD, death domain; INT, intermediate domain. TIR, Toll Toll/interleukin-1 receptor homology domain. (E) GFP-tagged chMyD88 or its truncated mutants and Myc-tagged chSPOP were co-transfected into chicken DF1 cells. Cell lysates were immunoprecipitated with anti-GFP antibody and then immunoblotted with indicted antibodies. (F) Schematic diagram of chSPOP and its truncation mutants. MATH, meprin and TRAF homology domain; BTB, bric-a-brac, tramtrack and broad complex/POZ domain; BOX, 3-box domain together with the C-terminal nuclear localization sequence. (G) GFP-tagged chSPOP or its truncated mutants and FLAG-tagged chMyD88 were co-transfected into chicken DF1 cells. Cell lysates were immunoprecipitated with anti-FLAG antibody and then immunoblotted with indicted antibodies.
