a Schematic representation of the APL-16-5 molecular capture protocol and summary of ubiquitin-related candidates. b TRIM25-knockdown cells were infected with IAV A/WSN/33 in the presence of increasing amounts of APL-16-5 (2 μM or 10 μM). Virus production was determined via HEK293T-Gluc assay. TRIM25 levels were confirmed by western blot. For NC (DMSO vs. APL-16-5-2, 10 μM): (p = 0.0031 and p = 0.0003, respectively), TRIM25 KD (DMSO vs. APL-16-5-2, 10 μM): (p = 0.0695 and p = 0.0013, respectively). c TRIM25-knockout cells were transfected with increasing amounts of TRIM25 and infected with A/WSN/33 in the presence of APL-16-5 (2 or 10 μM). Virus production was determined via HEK293T-Gluc assay. TRIM25 levels were determined by western blot. For NC (DMSO vs. Ribavirin, APL-16-5-2, 10 μM): (p = 0.0017, p = 0.0005 and p = 0.0001, respectively), TRIM25 KO (DMSO vs. Ribavirin, APL-16-5-2, 10 μM): (p = 0.0020, p = 0.1457 and p = 0.1399, respectively). d HEK293T cells were transfected with increasing amounts of TRIM25 and infected with WSN/33 in the presence of APL-16-5 (2 or 10 μM). Virus production was determined via HEK293T-Gluc assay. For Ribavirin (TRIM25 0 ng vs. 200, 500 ng): (p = 0.3106 and p = 0.9464, respectively), APL-16-5 (TRIM25 0 ng vs. 200, 500 ng): (p = 0.0117 and p = 0.0118, respectively). e Western blot analysis of lysates from TRIM25-knockout cells transfected with PA DNA in the presence of increasing concentrations of APL-16-5 (2 or 10 μM). For NC (DMSO vs. APL-16-5-2, 10 μM): (p = 0.0061 and p = 0.0002, respectively), TRIM25 KO (DMSO vs. APL-16-5-2, 10 μM): (p = 0.0528 and p = 0.0507, respectively). f Immunoprecipitation and immunoblot analysis of TRIM25-knockout cells that were transfected with PA and CW7-myc-ubiquitin DNA in the presence of increasing concentrations of APL-16-5 (2 or 10 μM). be Data are normalized to those of the control group, which is arbitrarily set to 100%. The graph summarizes n = 3 independent experiments. Error bars show mean ± SEM (unpaired two-tailed t-test). **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, NS = not significant.
