Fig. 4: tSG formation rescue assays in HeLa-eIF4GI-KO cells.
From: SG formation relies on eIF4GI-G3BP interaction which is targeted by picornavirus stress antagonists

HeLa-eIF4GI-KO cells were transfected with HA-tagged eIF4GI or its mutants as indicated for 24 h, treated with AS for 1 h, and then subjected to IF assay. Cells were stained with HA (green), G3BP (red), and DAPI (blue). “ + ” indicates cells expressing HA-tagged protein. Quantitation of HA-positive cells with G3BP-marked tSGs (bottom and right panel). For “Vector” column, the overall percentage of cells with SGs was calculated. n = 3, 400 cells/condition were counted, mean ± SD; ***p < 0.001, n.s. no statistical significance. Scale bars, 10 μm
