HEK293Tsuggested: NoneRibosome purification: HeLa cell extract was prepared as described previously52. HeLasuggested: NoneRecombinant DNA Sentences Resources Full-length nsp1 was synthesized as a gene fragment from Integrated DNA technologies (IDT) and cloned into the EcoR1 restriction site of pGEX-6P-2 (GE healthcare) using in-fusion cloning (TakaraBio). pGEX-6P-2suggested: RRID:Addgene_131146)A T7 promoter upstream of the human β-globin 5’ UTR or the SARS-CoV-2 leader fused to a nano luciferase (HBB-nLuc and CoV-2 leader-nLuc, respectively) was synthesized by Twist Bioscience then subcloned by in-fusion cloning into an EcoRI site in a pUC57 destination vector. pUC57suggested: RRID:Addgene_40306)CoV-2 nsp1 was subcloned into the NotI site of pCDNA4-3X-FLAG-Halo using in-fusion cloning. pCDNA4-3X-FLAG-Halosuggested: NoneTruncation mutants Δ118-180 and Δ1-117 were PCR amplified from the parental vector pCDNA4-3x-FLAG-Halo-nsp1 and cloned as described above. pCDNA4-3x-FLAG-Halo-nsp1suggested: NoneThe CoV-2-leader nLuc sequence was synthesized by IDT and similarly cloned into the pLJM1 vector. pLJM1suggested: RRID:Addgene_73031)For the GFP cotransfection experiments, 1×106 cells were seeded into each well of a 6-well plate and transfected the next day with 100 ng of pCDNA-GFP and 900 ng of the indicated pCDNA4-3X-FLAG-Halo-nsp1 construct. pCDNA-GFPsuggested: RRID:Addgene_160697)For the luciferase assays, 4.5×104 cells were seeded into each well of a 96-well plate and transfected the next day with 10 ng of HBB-nLuc or CoV2L-nLuc and 25 ng of the indicated C-terminally 3xFLAG tagged nsp1 (pCDNA4-nsp1-3xFLAG) construct. pCDNA4-nsp1-3xFLAGsuggested: NoneSoftware and Algorithms Sentences Resources Transfections were carried out using PolyJet™ (SignaGen labs) according to the manufacturer’s DNA transfection protocol and cells were harvested 24 hr post transfection. PolyJet™suggested: NoneFor immunoprecipitations, cell pellets were lysed in 1 mL of lysis buffer (Buffer A) containing 20mM Tris-KOH pH 7.5, 150mM KOAc, 5mM MgCl2, 5% glycerol, 1X HaltTM protease inhibitor cocktail (ThermoFisher), 1mM DTT (Danville Scientific) and 0.5% NP-40 (Danville Scientific) and placed on a rotating wheel for 30 min.
