a Protein–protein interaction (PPI) map for PWWP3A and immune response related interactors. b HEK293 cells were transfected with the indicated plasmids for 20 h before the cells were lysed and centrifuged, then the supernatants were incubated with E. coli-derived His-PWWP3A at 37 °C for 2 h before pull-down assays were performed. c HEK293 cells were infected with sendai virus (SeV) at the indicated time points, then co-immunoprecipitation was performed with control IgG or anti-TRAF6. The immunoprecipitates and lysates were analyzed by immunoblotting with indicated antibodies. d HEK293 cells were transfected with the indicated plasmids. Twenty hours later, co-IP was performed with control IgG or anti-HA. The immunoprecipitates and lysates were analyzed by immunoblotting with the indicated antibody. e The Flag-VISA expressed cell lysate was incubated with E. coli-derived GST-TRAF6 at 37 °C for 2 h before co-IP analysis. f The control and PWWP3A-knockout (KO) HEK293 cells were infected with SeV at the indicated time points, then co-immunoprecipitation was performed with control IgG or anti-VISA. The immunoprecipitates and lysates were analyzed by immunoblotting with indicated antibodies. g, h HEK293 cells were transfected with the indicated plasmids. Twenty hours later, co-IP was performed with control IgG or anti-Flag. The immunoprecipitates and lysates were analyzed by immunoblotting with the indicated antibody. i The pull-down assay was performed as described in (b) except HA-VISA and its mutant (VISA-d6) were used here. VISA-d6, the mutant of VISA in which both the E155 and E457 of VISA were mutated to aspartic acid (D). At least three independent experiments were performed with similar results.
