Figure 3. ALPK1‐mediated TIFA oligomerization is required for induction of the alternative NF‐κB pathway in H. pylori infection.

  1. TIFA‐KO cells were transfected with His‐tagged recombinant TIFA protein 24 h prior to H. pylori infection or treatment with 30 ng/ml LTα1β2. Co‐IP with an anti‐His antibody was performed. Eluates and total cell lysates were analyzed by immunoblotting using the indicated antibodies.
  2. AGS cells were pre‐incubated with 100 μM dynamin GTPase inhibitor Dynasore for 60 min followed by addition of ADP‐heptose (200 nM). Co‐IP with an anti‐TIFA antibody was performed. Eluates and total cell lysates were analyzed by immunoblotting using the indicated antibodies. Asterisk indicates an unspecific band and the arrow indicates the TRAF3 band.
  3. AGS and ALPK1‐KO cells were infected with H. pylori for the times shown. Co‐IP with an anti‐TIFA antibody or isotype‐matched antibody (IgG) was performed. Eluates and total cell lysates were analyzed by immunoblotting using the indicated antibodies.
  4. AGS and TIFA‐KO cells were infected with H. pylori for the times shown. Co‐IP with an anti‐TRAF2 antibody or isotype‐matched antibody (IgG) was performed. Eluates and total cell lysates were analyzed by immunoblotting using the indicated antibodies.
  5. AGS cells were transfected with siRNA against cIAP1. Co‐IP with an anti‐TIFA antibody or isotype‐matched antibody (IgG) was performed. Eluates and total cell lysates were analyzed by immunoblotting using the indicated antibodies.
  6. TIFA‐KO cells were transfected with empty vector plasmid (pCMV6), wild‐type human (phTIFA), phosphorylation‐defective mutant (pT9A), or TRAF6 binding‐defective mutant (pE178A) FLAG‐tagged TIFA plasmids. Total cell lysates were analyzed by immunoblotting using the indicated antibodies.
  7. TIFA‐KO cells were transfected with empty vector plasmid (pCMV6), wild‐type human (phTIFA), phosphorylation‐defective mutant (pT9A), or TRAF6 binding‐defective mutant (pE178A) FLAG‐tagged TIFA plasmids. Total cell lysates were separated by native gel electrophoresis under non‐reducing conditions.

Data information: Data shown are representative for at least two independent experiments. GAPDH served as loading control.
