Unexpectedly, the D471A substitution impeded both NP-NP and NP-Z interactions, as well as NP functions in replication and transcription of the LCMV MG and the ability of NP to counteract SeV-mediated induction of the host IFN-I response, suggesting that change D to A at position 471 might have affected the overall structure of NP without affecting its stability as reflected by its unchanged expression levels determined by WB using anti-VP16 ( Figures 6A and 6B ) or anti-HA ( Figures 6C and 6D) antibodies. (C) Replication and transcription activity: BHK-21 cells were co-transfected with the LCMV MG as described in Figure 3 together with expression plasmids for the viral polymerase (L) and wt or indicated mutant NPs, and pSV40-Cluc expression vector to normalize transfection efficiencies. ./cache/cord-317715-xtsi663k.txt ./txt/cord-317715-xtsi663k.txt
