To determine whether the effect on NCOR2 AS was mediated by direct binding of TUT1, we performed RIP assay in T. marneffei-infected TUT1-overexpressing THP-1 macrophages at 24 h post-infection, and found that TUT1 binds to NCOR2 pre-mRNA (Fig. 7e). This evidence concerns the gene NCOR2 and infection.
