Fig. 4. The NTD of A3B is sufficient for A3B relocalization mediated by HCMV.
(A) Representative IF microscopy images of ARPE19 cells transiently expressing EGFP alone, A3B-FL-EGFP, A3B-NTD-EGFP, and A3B-CTD-EGFP, incubated with medium alone (mock) or infected with TB40-mCherry for 72 hrs (10 μm scale).
(B) Quantification of A3B-FL, A3B-NTD, and A3B-CTD subcellular localization phenotype shown in panel A. The dot-plot chart shows the ratio between nuclear and cytoplasmic fluorescence intensity (n>25 cells per condition; p-values were obtained using unpaired student’s t-tests).
(C) Representative IF microscopy images of HeLa cells transiently expressing EBV BORF2-FLAG together with EGFP alone, A3B-FL-EGFP, A3B-NTD-EGFP, and A3B-CTD-EGFP (10 μm scale).
