(A) STAT1-dependent response to exogenous IFN. Human A549, M. daubentonii MyDauNi and R. aegyptiacus Ro6E-J cells where treated with IFN-α, the JAK1/2 inhibitor Ruxolitinib, or were left untreated. Immunoblot analysis was performed with antibodies against the indicated antigens. Representative data from three independent experiments are shown. (B) Multiplication of an IFN-sensitive virus. Cells were pretreated with IFN or Ruxolitinib, infected with the IFN inducing and IFN-sensitive RVFVΔNSs::Renilla, and virus replication was measured by Renilla luciferase assays after 48 h of incubation. The graph shows the virus reporter activities normalized to uninfected background values for each cell line. Mean values and standard deviations from three independent replicates are shown.

A: PCA transformation based on the top 500 variant genes over all samples. One of the 24h RVFV mutant samples seems to not cluster that well with the other replicates. B: PCA transformation based on the top 500 variant genes between mock 24h and RVFV mutant 24h samples. The difference between the "outlier" virus-infected sample and the other two replicates accounts only for 3.3% (PC2) of the whole variation in the gene expression data.

Fig. S4: Enriched GO terms based on pairwise comparisons

back to top

The calculation of significantly enriched GO terms is based on the Piano calculations that can be found in the corresponding DEG calculations (see S5 A-I in overview).

Fig. S4 A: Mock vs. Clone13

GO terms of the virus-regulated genes. Significantly enriched GO categories for the mock vs. Clone 13 comparisons 6 h (upper) and 24 h (lower) post infection. Based on the Piano output (see supplementary data S5 C and S5 E), significantly enriched GO categories (p<0.05) composed of at least five differentially expressed genes were selected. The bars indicate how many genes are significantly up (red) or down (blue) regulated within a specific GO category. The GO categories are sorted by "biological process" (green), "molecular function" (blue), and "cellular component" (orange) in ascending order regarding the number of genes. Download PDF



Fig. S4 B: Mock vs. IFN

GO terms of the IFN-regulated genes. Significantly enriched GO categories for the mock vs. IFN comparisons 6h (upper) and 24h (lower) post infection. Based on the Piano output (see supplementary data S5 B and S5 D), significantly enriched GO categories (p<0.05) composed of at least five differentially expressed genes were selected. The bars indicate how many genes are significantly up (red) or down (blue) regulated within a specific GO category. The GO categories are sorted by "biological process" (green), "molecular function" (blue), and "cellular component" (orange) in ascending order regarding the number of genes. Download PDF



Fig. S4 C: IFN vs. Clone13

GO terms of the IFN- and Clone 13-regulated genes. Significantly enriched GO categories for the IFN vs. Clone 13 comparisons 6h (upper) and 24h (lower) post infection. Based on the Piano output (see supplementary data S5 F and S5 H), significantly enriched GO categories (p<0.05) composed of at least five differentially expressed genes were selected. The bars indicate how many genes are significantly up (red) or down (blue) regulated within a specific GO category. The GO categories are sorted by "biological process" (green), "molecular function" (blue), and "cellular component" (orange) in ascending order regarding the number of genes. Download PDF

Fig. S6: Coverage of the S, M, and L segment of the RVFV reference genome

back to top

Reference sequences for Clone 13 of the S, M, and L segment of RVFV were downloaded from the NCBI under RefSeq accessions NC014395.1 (S segment), NC014396.1 (M segment), NC014397.1 (L segment). The plots show the aggregate average coverage for the triplicates 6h and 24h post infection with the RVFV Clone13 mutant.

Please note the Clone 13-specific deletion in the IFN antagonist NSs on the S segment that determines its high IFN induction capability.

back to top

Human A549 and M. daubentonii MyDauNi cells, treated or not with Ruxolitinib, were incubated with 1000 U/ml IFN-α or infected with Clone 13 (MOI 5) for 6 or 24 h, respectively. (A) Immunoblot analysis was performed with antibodies against the indicated antigens. Representative data from three independent experiments are shown. (B) RT-qPCR for MxA/Mx1 transcripts and the viral L segment, respectively. The graphs show the fold induction over mock, for the respective time point, with mean values and standard deviations from three independent replicates.
