TRIM35 catalyzes K48-linked polyubiquitination and degradation of IAV PB2. (A) Co-IP and IB analysis of HEK293T cells expressing TRIM35-V5 and WSN (H1N1) PB2. 10 μg/mL MG132 was added into cells at 6 h post-transfection (right panel). (B) Co-IP and IB analysis of HEK293T cells expressing TRAF3-Flag, TRIM35-V5, with or without WSN (H1N1) PB2. (C) IB analysis of HEK293T cells expressing WSN (H1N1) PB2 and increasing amounts of TRIM35-V5. (D) IB analysis of HEK293T cells expressing TRIM35-V5 or control vector for 36 h, followed by infection with WSN (H1N1) virus. (E) Co-IP and IB analysis to assess WSN (H1N1) PB2 ubiquitination in HEK293T cells expressing WSN (H1N1) PB2, with or without TRIM35-V5, along with HA-ubiquitin (K48) or HA-ubiquitin (K48R). (F) Co-IP and IB analysis to assess WSN (H1N1) PB2 ubiquitination in HEK293T cells expressing WSN (H1N1) PB2, with or without TRIM35-V5. (G) Minigenome assay in HEK293T cells expressing WSN (H1N1) PB2, PB1, PA, and NP, pHH21-SC09NS F-Luc, pRL-TK, along with control vector, TRIM35-V5, or both TRIM35-V5 and HA-ubiquitin. Results are expressed relative to Renilla luciferase activity. (H) Co-IP and IB analysis to assess WSN (H1N1) PB2 ubiquitination in HEK293T cells expressing WSN (H1N1) PB2, HA-ubiquitin (K48), along with V5-tagged TRIM35 or TRIM35 DelRING mutant. (I) IB analysis of HEK293T cells expressing V5-tagged TRIM35 DelRING mutant or control vector for 36 h, followed by infection with WSN (H1N1) virus. (J) Replication of WSN (H1N1) virus (MOI = 0.1) in HEK293 cells transfected for 24 h to express V5-tagged TRIM35 DelRING mutant or control vector, determined by plaque assay on MDCK cells. IB analysis was shown in the bottom panel. (K) Co-IP and IB analysis to assess K48-linked ubiquitination of WSN (H1N1) PB2 or its mutants in HEK293T cells expressing V5-tagged WSN (H1N1) PB2 or its mutants, GST-TRIM35, and HA-ubiquitin (K48). (L) IB analysis of HEK293T cells expressing WSN (H1N1) PB2 K736R mutant and increasing amounts of TRIM35-V5. Data are representative of at least three independent experiments. Means ± SD are shown in (G) and (J, upper panel) (n = 3). Two-tailed unpaired t-test was used for the statistical analysis, ***P < 0.001
