    - Comparison of the percentage of decision using the BPNN, Hidden Markov Modeling (HMM)-Bayes, Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) or Support Vector Machines (SVM) algorithms. 200 simulated trajectories of 300 frames mimicking diffusion within plasma membranes, including one directed motion segment with velocity randomly ranging from 1 to 3 μm/s and one confinement segment with diameters ranging from 0.5 and 1.2 μm, were analyzed with BPPN, HMM-Bayes, BIC or SVM. Within a trajectory each 50 frames segment is always localized at the same position. The diffusion coefficient D is 0.25 μm2/s and the integration time 100 ms. A 30 nm localization noise Pn was added to the trajectory (see Material and Methods section). The percentage of decision based on BPNN corresponds to the number of positive decision for a specific motion mode detected for a given frame over 200 trajectories and normalized to 1 or-1 for confined (light grey) or directed (dark grey) trajectories, respectively. The HMM-Bayes and the BIC algorithms can only detect directed or confined segments within a trajectory, respectively. The tables at the bottom detail the performance of the 4 algorithms in terms of sensitivity and specificity for detecting confined and directed motion modes in the range of parameters tested in this study (D = 0.25 μm2/s, 1 μm/s < v < 3 μm/s, 0.5 μm < L < 1.2 μm).

    <p>A: Amino acid sequence alignment of CD81, CD9, and chimeras. Only the sequence of the LEL is shown. The origin of the flanking domains (TM3 and TM4) is shown on both sides of the sequence. The position of CD81 helices is indicated on the top of the alignment. CD81 residues are shown in red capital letters and CD9 residues in blue small letters. The CCG consensus site and other conserved cysteines, as well as a functionally important site (VVDDD) are underlined. CD81 LEL residues presumably in contact with the SEL are indicated with an asterisk. Open circles shows residues known to be involved in the interaction with HCV E2 glycoprotein. B and C: HepG2-A16 cells were transiently transfected with plasmids expressing CD9, CD81, or CD81/CD9 chimeras and infected two days later with <i>P. yoelii</i> sporozoites. After two days incubation, the number of EEF-infected cells was determined by immunofluorescence in triplicate wells. Results are expressed as mean±s.d. **, p<0.01 and *, p<0.05 as compared to CD9-transfected cells.</p

    <p>A: Hepa 1–6 cells were transfected with the indicated construct in pEGFP-N3 and analyzed for the surface expression and recognition of the transgene by several CD81 mAb using flow-cytometry analysis. Data are expressed as mean fluorescence intensity. In this experiment, the antibodies were used at 20 µg/ml (JS64, M38, JS81) or at 1/100 ascitic fluid dilution (all other mAbs). B: HepG2-A16/CD81 cells were infected with <i>P. yoelii</i> sporozoites in the presence of the indicated mAbs at 25 µg/ml except when otherwise indicated. All mAbs are directed to CD81 except TS9 which is a CD9 mAb and does not inhibit <i>P. yoelii</i> infection.</p

    <p>The drawing of CD81 LEL (PDB #1g8q) was generated in MolMol. Four helices (A, C, D, E) are drawn in red while the B helix, crucial for <i>P. yoelii</i> infection is displayed in blue. The black balls indicate the CCG ubiquitous motif. The crucial D137 as well as D138 and D139 are in purple while V135 and V136 are in royal blue. Residues V146, T149, F150, T153 and L154 putatively involved in contact with the SEL are indicated in dark blue. T163, F186 and D196 residues, in yellow, have been reported to play a role in the HCV E2 glycoprotein binding to CD81-LEL. Residues V135, V136, T163, F186 and D196 projected backward, behind the drawing plane. The two disulfides bridges are colored light coral. Hydrophilic residues K144, K148 and E152 located on the top of the B helix are in green. The SEL, in cyan, is in front of the drawing plane.</p

    The VVD (135–137)→AAA and DDD (137–139)→AAA mutants unable to support infection by <i>P. yoelii</i> sporozoites interact with CD9P-1 and EWI-2.

    <p>CHO cells were transiently transfected with WT or mutant CD81 plasmids (in pEGFP-N3), together with a CD9P-1 (top) or a EWI-2 (bottom) cDNA. After 48 h, the cells were lysed with digitonin and immunoprecipitations with antibodies against CD81, CD9P-1 and EWI-2 were performed. After electrophoresis and transfer, the membranes were incubated with biotin-labelled mAbs to CD81 (TS81), CD9P-1 (1F11) and EWI-2 (8A12). The mutants are designed as follows: VVD: VVD (135–137)→AAA; DDD: DDD (137–139)→AAA</p
