Syntaxin 10 (GenBank accession number CR457110) cDNA (Eurofins MWG Operon; Huntsville, Alabama) served as a template to clone syntaxin 10. The forward primer (5′- ggggggaattcaatgtctctcgaagacccctttt-3′) contained a 5′ EcoRI site (all caps, underlined), and the reverse primer (5′- gggggGGATCCtcagagagagaatagtaagatgagaa-3′) contained a 3′ BamHI site (all caps, underlined), which were used to subclone syntaxin 10 into the multiple cloning site of the p3XFLAG-CMV 7.1 expression vector (Sigma; St. Louis, MO). Sequence was verified by Eurofins MWG Operon, Huntsville, AL. 100 ng of plasmid DNA was transfected with Lipofectamine 2000 Transfection (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) and Opti-MEM (Life Technologies), according to the manufacturer's protocol. Cells were then infected with Chlamydia as described previously (Scidmore, 2005 (link)).

cDNA was made from HeLa cells by Trizol extraction of RNA followed by reverse transcription. Generated cDNA was then used as a template to amplify SERBP1, TRIM25 and PWP2 using Phusion high fidelity DNA polymerase (New England Biolabs) and primers listed in Supplementary Table S5.

LARP1 was sub-cloned from pCMV5-LARP1 (NM015315.3) into p3xFlag-CMV™-7.1 expression vector (Sigma-aldrich E4026) (restriction digested using Hind3 and XBA1 followed by gel extraction and ligation, to produce n-terminal Flag-tagged LARP1 purposefully omitting the initiating methionine. The primers used are listed in Supplementary Table S5. p3xFlag-CMV™-7-BAP control expression vector was purchased from Sigma (C7472). For generation of pET-SUMO PABPC1, cDNAs coding for PABPC1 (1–636) were generated using standard PCR using PABPC1 primers listed in Supplementary Table S5.

Full-length BN Shroom3, full-length FHH Shroom3, or ∆G1073S mutant cDNA were cloned into the p3xFLAG-CMV-7.1 expression vector (Sigma) and transfected into human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells using a calcium phosphate transfection method. HEK293 cells were cultured in Dulbecco modified Eagle medium (DMEM) with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 1% L-glutamine, penicillin streptomycin (1×), and sodium pyruvate (1×). At 24 h post-transfection, cells were collected and lysed in lysis buffer (200 mM NaCl, 20 mM Tris, 2 mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100, and 0.1% SDS) to extract protein. Seven hundred and fifty micrograms of protein was used for immunoprecipitation (IP) against FLAG. IP protein products were separated on 4%–20% Bio-Rad mini-PROTEAN TGX gels and transferred onto PVDF membranes, followed by overnight incubation with primary antibodies against FLAG, ACTB, and ROCK1. Membranes were then incubated for 1 h with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies and developed with enhanced chemiluminescence reagent (Pierce). Protein bands were visualized using a ChemiDoc XRS+ Imaging System (Bio-Rad). Band intensities were quantified with ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health).

The plasmids alone or accompanied with either miR-210 mimic or miR-210 scramble (Neg. Ctrl.) were transfected into PC12 cells with Lipofectamine 2000 (11668027, Invitrogen) in Opti-MEM medium (31985070, Fisher Scientific) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Medium was refreshed at 5–6 h after transfection to reduce the toxicity. PC12 cells cultured on PDL-coated 6-well plate were collected for western blot assay, or on PDL-coated German 12 mm glass coverslips (Fisher scientific) in 24-well plates (Corning) for immunocytochemistry staining. All the experiments were carried out 48 h after transfection.

All primers used in these cloning projects are listed in Table 1 (Supplementary Material). To generate amino-terminal 3XFLAG fusion constructs, PCR was used to introduce appropriate 5′ and 3′ restriction sites to furin, syntaxin 4, and Tgn38 cDNA (Origene, Rockville, MD). The PCR products were cloned in frame to the 3XFLAG coding sequence in the p3XFLAG-CMV 7.1 expression vector (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). The GeneTailor Site-Directed Mutagenesis system (Life Technologies) was used to create 3XFLAG-syntaxin 4+YGRL, 3XFLAG-syntaxin 4 +YKGL, and 3XFLAG-syntaxin 4 +YQRL and 3XFLAG-TGN38 _YGRL, 3XFLAG-TGN38ΔYQRL, and 3XFLAG-furinΔYKGL constructs using previously described conditions (Moore et al., 2011 (link)). The 3XFLAG-furin_YGRL mutant was constructed by three-step site-specific PCR mutagenesis (Shokeen et al., 2008 (link)) using end, mutagenic and overlapping primers listed in Table 1. The overlap extension PCR cloning method (Bryksin and Matsumura, 2010 (link)) was used to create the 3XFLAG-syntaxin 6 and 3XFLAG-syntaxin 6 ΔYGRL (both constructs previously described in Moore et al., 2011 (link)) into the pcDNA3.1mycBioID plasmid (plasmid # 35700, Addgene.org) (Roux et al., 2012 (link)).

To clone KLF4 cDNA into expression vector, an ORF clone (HsCD00040749) was purchased from the Harvard-DFCI plasmid repository (https://plasmid.med.harvard.edu/PLASMID). The coding region of human KLF4 cDNA was amplified from the ORF clone and inserted into the p3XFLAG-CMV™-7.1 expression vector (Sigma-Aldrich, E7533) using EcoRV-BamHI restriction sites. Two variants of cDNA were cloned, KLF4 full length coding 479 aa long protein (aa 1–479) and KLF4 DBD coding 105 aa (aa 375–479). A Phusion Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit (Thermo Scientific, F-541) was used to introduce a point mutation (T>G) for K409Q amino acid change in both constructs. All created constructs were confirmed by sequencing.
Transient transfections were carried out using Invitrogen™ Lipofectamine™ LTX Reagent with PLUS™ Reagent (Fisher Scientific, 15-338-100) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Not more than 2 μg of total plasmid DNA per 106 cells were used.
