Experimental details: Western blot analysis was performed on membrane enriched extracts (30 µg lysate) of HeLa (Lane 1), HEK 293 (Lane 2), K-562 (Lane 3), SH-SY5Y (Lane 4) and 10uL conditioned media from HeLa cell line (Lane 5). The blot was probed with Anti-Furin Convertase Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (Product # PA1-062, 1:500-1:2000 dilution) and detected by chemiluminescence using Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) Superclonal™ Secondary Antibody, HRP conjugate (Product # A27036, 0.4 µg/mL, 1:2500 dilution). A 87 kDa band corresponding to Furin Convertase was observed across the cell lines and conditioned media tested. Known quantity of protein samples were electrophoresed using Novex® NuPAGE® 10 % Bis-Tris gel (Product # NP0302BOX), XCell SureLock™ Electrophoresis System (Product # EI0002) and Novex® Sharp Pre-Stained Protein Standard (Product # LC5800). Resolved proteins were then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane with iBlot® 2 Dry Blotting System (Product # IB21001). The membrane was probed with the relevant primary and secondary Antibody using iBind™ Flex Western Starter Kit (Product # SLF2000S). Chemiluminescent detection was performed using Pierce™ ECL Western Blotting Substrate (Product # 32106).

Experimental details: CRISPR-Cas9 mediated genome editing ofFURIN (as confirmed by next generation sequencing) was achieved by using LentiArray™ Lentiviral sgRNA (Product # A32042, AssayID CRISPR694124_LV) and LentiArray Cas9 Lentivirus (Product # A32064). Fig (a) Western blot analysis of FURIN was performed by loading 30 µg of HeLa wild type (Lane 1), HeLa Cas9 (Lane 2) and HeLa Cas9 cells transduced with FURIN Lentiviral sgRNA (Lane 3) whole cell extracts. The samples were electrophoresed using NuPAGE™ Novex™ 4-12% Bis-Tris Protein Gel (Product # NP0321BOX). Resolved proteins were then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane (Product # IB23001) by iBlot® 2 Dry Blotting System (Product # IB21001). The blot was probed with Anti-Furin Polyclonal Antibody (Product # PA1-062) using 1:1000 dilution and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) Superclonal™ Recombinant Secondary Antibody, HRP (Product # A27036 1:5000 dilution).Chemiluminescent detection was performed using SuperSignal™ West Dura Extended Duration Substrate (Product # 34076). A loss of signal in sgRNA transduced cells using the LentiArray™ CRISPR product line confirms that antibody is specific toFURIN (Fig (b)).

Experimental details: Western blot was performed using Anti-Furin Polyclonal Antibody (Product # PA1-062) and a 87 kDa band corresponding to Furin was observed across all cell lines and tissues tested except Daudi and Ramos which are known to be low expressing cell lines (DOI: 10.1099/0022-1317-75-10-2821). Whole cell extracts (30 µg lysate) of HEK-293 (Lane 1), HaCaT (Lane 2), BeWo (Lane 3), SK-O-V3 (Lane 4), Daudi (Lane 5), Ramos (Lane 6), Mouse Liver (Lane 7) and Rat Liver (Lane 8) were electrophoresed using NuPAGE™ 4-12% Bis-Tris Protein Gel (Product # NP0321BOX). Resolved proteins were then transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane (Product # IB23001) by iBlot® 2 Dry Blotting System (Product # IB21001). The blot was probed with the primary antibody (1:1000 dilution) and detected by chemiluminescence with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) Superclonal™ Recombinant Secondary Antibody, HRP (Product # A27036, 1:4000 dilution) using the iBright FL 1000 (Product # A32752). Chemiluminescent detection was performed using Novex® ECL Chemiluminescent Substrate Reagent Kit (Product # WP20005). Expression of Furin was observed in HEK-293, HaCaT, BeWo, SK-O-V3, Mouse Liver and Rat Liver but not in Daudi and Ramos which are known to be low expressing cell lines (DOI: 10.1099/0022-1317-75-10-2821).

Cells were infected with DENV at an MOI of 0.01 to 0.05 for 120 h. Supernatants were harvested every 24 h for 120 h, and the 120-h supernatants were analyzed by Western blotting for DENV maturation using anti-Env and anti-prM antibodies. All assays were performed with at least two biological repeats with two technical replicates. Growth kinetics of DENV variants were compared to their corresponding wild type using two-way ANOVA multiple comparisons.
