Figure 5. Nef L164-165L motif is required for interaction with AP1 and inhibition of macrophages phagocytosis. (A) GST, GST-Nef WT, or GST-NefL164-165A bound to glutathione sepharose beads were incubated with RAW264.7 macrophages lysates. Bound material (top panel) and total lysates (bottom panel) were subjected to Western blotting with anti-AP1 antibodies. Molecular weight markers are in kilodaltons. (B) RAW264.7 macrophages transiently expressing either Nef STOP-HA or Nef WT-HA or NefL164-165A-HA were lysed and immunoprecipitated with anti-HA antibodies. The precipitates and total lysates were revealed by Western blotting with anti-AP1 antibodies and after stripping with anti-HA antibodies. Molecular weight markers are in kilodaltons. (C) RAW264.7 macrophages transiently expressing either Nef WT-GFP or Nef G2-3A-GFP were fractionated to obtain a cytosolic and a membrane fraction. Then each fraction was immunoprecipitated with anti-GFP antibodies. The precipitates and total lysates were subjected to Western blotting with anti-AP1 antibodies and after stripping with anti-GFP antibodies. Total lysates were also revealed with anti–transferrin receptor antibodies (as marker for the membrane fraction) or with anti-Rho GDI alpha antibodies (as marker for the cytosolic fraction). The cytosolic fraction was contaminated with proteins of membrane origin. Molecular weight markers are in kilodaltons.
