The heterotypic Zα domain tandem repeat of Hs ZBP1 accumulates in dynamic RNP condensates in CyHV-3 infected cells. (A) Cells infected with the CyHV-3 HsZα1-L-Zα2ZBP1 recombinant expressing the heterotypic Zα domain tandem repeat of Hs ZBP1 instead of ORF112 were fixed, permeabilized, and treated with the indicated enzymes before immunostaining of dsRNA (α-dsRNA, green signal) and ZBP1 (α-ZBP1, red signal). DNA was stained with Dapi (blue signal). (B) Living cells infected with the CyHV-3 Dendra2-HsZα1-L-Zα2ZBP1 recombinant expressing the fluorescence Dendra2 protein fused at its C-terminal end to the heterotypic Zα domain tandem repeat of Hs ZBP1 were submitted to green-to-red photoconversion on the indicated ROI (FLAP experiment). Representative pictures collected according to time are presented. (C) CCB cells were coinfected with the indicated CyHV-3 recombinant strains (MOI of 1 PFU/cell for each recombinant). Analysis of coinfected cells revealed that mCherry-ORF112 aa189–280 and Dendra2-HsZα1-L-Zα2ZBP1 colocalize in RNP condensates. (D) Schematic model linking biochemical properties of Zα domains and the formation of RNP observed in CyHV-3 infected cells.
