IAV NP interrupts FLNA-TRAF2 interaction, allowing for increased TRAF2-ASK1 interaction. HEK293 cells were transfected with either 5 μg of pcDNA3.1 empty control vector or NP(PR8) plasmid. The cells were harvested (A) 8 h post-transfection and (B) 24 h post-transfection and IP was setup using mouse anti-FLNA and mouse anti-TRAF2 antibody (n = 3) (see Supplementary Figures 1, 4). TRAF2 and ASK1 were detected in the eluate by Western blotting using rabbit anti-TRAF2 and mouse anti-ASK1 antibody. (C,D) Densitometric analysis was performed using the ImageJ software to visualize the level of FLNA-TRAF2 (FLNA used as loading control) and TRAF2-ASK1 (TRAF2 used as loading control) interaction. Results are shown as mean ± S.D. of one independent experiment (n = 3). Statistical significance for FLNA-TRAF2 and TRAF2-ASK1 level of interaction was determined using Student’s t test (p < 0.05).
