The isolation of nuclear and cytoplasmic fractions was performed as reported previously60 (link). Proteins derived from nuclear and cytoplasmic fractions were quantified by ‘DC Protein Assay’ (Bio-Rad), and equal amounts were used for western blot analysis to evaluate the accumulation of both viral and cellular proteins. Resolved proteins by SDS-PAGE were transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (Biorad). The membranes were incubated overnight at 4 °C with the appropriate primary antibody and successively probed with secondary antibodies. Quantitative densitometry analysis of immunoblot band intensities was performed by using the TINA software (version 2.10, Raytest, Straubenhardt, Germany).
