Expression, solubility and cellular localization of scFvE2/p17 and scFvG2/p17 in Sf9 cells. (a), Level of expression. Sf9 cells were mock-infected (lanes mo), or infected with BV-E2/p17 or BV-G2/p17, and harvested at 24, 48 and 72 h pi, as indicated on top of the panel. Whole cell lysates were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting using anti-HA tag antibody. (b), Solubility. Lysates of mock-infected cells (mo) or BV-E2/p17- or BV-G2/p17-infected cells harvested at 24, 48 and 72 h pi, as indicated on top of the panel were clarified by centrifugation, and soluble fraction (S) and pelletable material (P) analyzed as above. M, molecular mass markers, with their apparent molecular masses indicated in kilodaltons (kDa) on the right side of the blots. (c), Cell fractionation. Sf9 cells infected with BV-E2/p17 or BV-G2/p17 as indicated on top of the panel were harvested at 48 h pi and processed for cell fractionation into cytosolic compartment (Cy), membranes (Mb), nuclear compartment (Nu) and cytoskeletal-associated proteins (Sk). Subcellular fractions were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting using anti-HA tag antibody.
