BANF1 and infection: As shown by immunoblot, treatment of IOE-infected WT-BMM with Baf resulted in an increase of LC3II level [2.3 fold, calculated as the ratio between LC3 II level in IOE-infected WT-BMM treated with Baf (2.8) and those in untreated IOE-infected WT- BMM (0.5)] as compared with the effect promoted by the same treatment in uninfected cells, suggesting that LC3II degradation by lysosomal enzymes is enhanced during IOE infection of WT cells (Fig 3D).
