Figure 4A PDI mutants form abnormal disulfide-dependent protein complexes. NSC34 cells were transiently transfected with expression vectors for V5-tagged wild-type and mutant ERp57. After 48 h, differential disulfide-dependent interactions/aggregations of overexpressed PDI variants was assessed under reducing (+DTT) and non-reducing (-DTT) conditions in an 8% SDS-PAGE. Anti-V5 was used for detection in Western blot. B ALS-linked ERp57 variants were generated as recombinant proteins and then analyzed by circular dichroism (CD). Averages for CD spectroscopic scans of recombinant ERp57WT and mutants are shown. C A thermal denaturation curve of ERp57WT and mutants was performed. D Representative electrophoresis of Proteinase K treated ERp57 recombinant proteins. E Surface Plasmon Resonance was performed to monitor the affinity of recombinant ERp57 for recombinant CRT P-domain. KD values are expressed as percentage of ERp57WT. Values are derived from four independent experiments. For absolute KD values please see Appendix Table S2. FHEK293T NSC34 were transfected with expression vectors for V5-tagged wild-type and mutant ERp57, as well as empty vector.

G The gain of an N-glycosylation site of ERp57D217N was predicted after the analysis of the protein sequence since the change of Asp217 to an Asn creates the NXT/S consensus sequence. Neuro2a cells were transfected with expression vectors for V5-tagged wild-type and mutant ERp57, as well as empty vector and treated with 1 µg/ml tunicamycin (Tm) for 20 h to inhibit N-glycosylation. Alternatively, protein extracts were digested with PNGase F and the possible removal of the N-glycosylation was analyzed by Western blot using anti-V5 antibody.

ATF6α Cleavage Occurs in a post-ER compartment HEK293T cells stably overexpressing wild type ATF6α or a D564G mutant were treated with 10 mM DTT as indicated to induce ER stress in the presence of the S1P inhibitor.Figure 7HEK293T cells stably overexpressing wild type ATF6α or a D564G mutant were treated with 10 mM DTT as indicated to induce ER stress in the presence of the S1P inhibitor. Cell lysates were prepared, separated by SDS-PAGE and then probed with anti-ATF6α. Blot reveals the presence of O-linked glycan modified Golgi-translocated ATF6 (designated G), which is absent for the D564G mutant, confirming a lack of ER to Golgi trafficking. Wild type and ERp18 KO cell lines stably expressing ATF6α D564G were either left untreated (-) or treated (+) with 5 µg/ml brefeldin A for1 h prior to cell lysis. The anti-ATF6α western blot of membrane fractions reveals proteolytic processing by S1P to produce ATF6-M, only in the brefeldin A treated cells. Nuclear fractions confirm the presence of S2P cleavage product, ATF6-N following brefeldin A treatment. Anti-HDAC2 was used as a loading control for the nuclear fraction.

Figure 6(A,B) The resting membrane potential and amplitude of action potentials in WT and Cox6a2-/- PV+ interneurons, respectively. Two-tailed unpaired Student's t-tests. (C,D) The threshold for action potentials increased over maturation in WT but not in Cox6a2-/- PV+ interneurons. As a result, the threshold for action potentials was significantly lower in P34-45 Cox6a2-/- PV+ interneurons when compared to their WT counterparts. D: two-tailed unpaired Student's t-tests. (E,F) Trains of action potentials were evoked by 2 sec depolarizing current pulses. The amplitude difference (difference between the mean amplitude of 1st-10th action potentials and 190th-200th action potentials) was significantly higher in P34-45 Cox6a2-/- compared to WT PV+ interneurons. In addition, the amplitude difference decreased with maturation in WT but not in Cox6a2-/- PV+ interneurons. F: two-tailed unpaired Mann-Whitney tests. (G) While in WT PV+ interneurons the maximal firing frequency increased during maturation, such increase was abolished by Cox6a2 knockout. Thus, maximal firing frequency reached during 2 sec depolarizing current pulses was lower in P34-45 Cox6a2-/- compared to WT PV+ interneurons. Two-tailed unpaired Student's t-tests. (H) Recorded PV+ interneurons were filled with biocytin and their dendritic morphology was reconstructed using Imaris software. Scale bars: 30 μm. (I,J) Cox6a2-/- PV+ interneurons showed a negative correlation between age and dendritic length and between age and full branch depth (maximal number of branches between the soma and a terminal dendritic point), which contrasted with the expected positive correlation between these parameters in WT PV+ interneurons. Linear regression of Pearson correlation. (K,L) WT and Cox6a2-/- PV+ interneurons showed similar values for dendritic length and full branch depth at P22-P33. However, at P34-P45, Cox6a2-/- PV+ interneurons showed lower dendritic length and full branch depth than WT PV+ interneurons. Two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's multiple comparisons tests. (M,N) While younger WT and Cox6a2-/- PV+ interneurons have similar dendritic tree complexities (M), at the later stage of maturation Cox6a2-/- PV+ interneurons show a reduction in dendritic tree complexity in comparison to WT PV+ interneurons (N). Multiple t-tests, two-stage step-up method of Benjamini, Krieger and Yekutieli.

Figure 5CD8+ T cells were activated for 16h and then co-transduced with miR-AB retroviruses at 1:1 ratio, which carries a SplashRNA-designed shRNAmir, targeting surface protein CD127, CD90, CD44 or CD8, with Azurite, GFP, Ametrine or mCherry2 as fluorescent reporters respectively for 4h. miR-AB retroviruses expressing CD19-specific shRNAmirs with same fluorescent reporters were used as controls. Surface staining was performed 72h after transduction. FACS data were shown as overlaid histograms of control shRNAmirs (shCD19s) and target shRNAmirs (shCD127, shCD90, shCD44 or shCD8). Cells were categorized as sixteen populations expressing single, double, triple or quadruple fluorescent proteins or not (none) and fluorescent reporter-positive plots were highlighted with thick frames and white background. Each population's surface staining profile was shown on the right. The data was representative of two biologically independent experiments.
