Direct binding of vinculin and Rab5.
<p>(A) Endogenous vinculin and Rab5 were immunoprecipitated from Cos-7 lysates with anti-Rab5 or anti-vinculin antibodies. Vinculin and Rab5 were assayed by western blotting using specific antibodies to vinculin and Rab5. (B) HA-Rab5 (S34N), HA-Rab5 (Q79L) and HA-Rab5 (WT) were transiently expressed in Cos-7 cells and subjected to immunoprecipitation with anti-HA antibody. Note that immunoprecipitation of HA-Rab5 (WT) was carried out with GTPγS and GDP. Proteins were assayed by western blotting. The graph shows mean ± S.E. values of three independent experiments (C) A pull-down assay from a Cos-7 lysate was performed using GST, GST-Rab5 (S34N), and GST-Rab5 (Q79L). Vinculin bound to the beads was assayed by western blotting, and GST, GST-Rab5 (S34N), and GST-Rab5 (Q79L) on a PVDF membrane were stained with Ponceau S. The graph shows mean ± S.E. values of three independent experiments (D) GST, GST-Rab5 (S34N), and GST-Rab5 (Q79L) were incubated with purified His-vinculin, and a pull-down assay was performed using glutathione beads. His-Vinculin bound to the beads was assayed by western blotting, and GST, GST-Rab5 (S34N), and GST-Rab5 (Q79L) on a PVDF membrane were stained with Ponceau S. The graph shows mean ± S.E. values of three independent experiments.</p
Determination of the Rab5-binding domain of vinculin.
<p>(A) Schematic of vinculin deletion mutants. (B) GST-Rab5 (Q79L) was incubated with purified His-vinculin deletion mutants, and a His-pull-down assay was performed. The beads were assayed by western blotting. (C) GFP, GFP-Vin1-258, GFP-Vin1-880, GFP-Vin258-880, GFP-Vin881-1066 and GFP-vinculin (full length) were coexpressed with HA-Rab5 in Cos-7 cells and immunostained with anti-HA antibody. (D) pHrodo red-labeled <i>S. aureus</i> was added to the medium of Cos-7 cells expressing each vinculin deletion mutant and incubated for 2 h at 37°C. The graph shows mean ± S.E. values of six independent experiments, **<i>p</i><0.01. (E) Cos-7 cells were transfected with HA-Rab5 (WT) and vinculin deletion mutants. <i>S. aureus</i> was added to the medium of transfected cells and incubated for 60 min at 37°C. The cells were lysed and subjected to a GST-R5BD pull-down assay. GST-R5BD-bound beads and lysates were assayed by western blotting with anti-HA antibody.</p
Effects of <i>S. aureus</i> on vinculin-Rab5 binding and Rab5-GTP.
<p>(A) S. aureus was added to the medium of HA-Rab5 (WT)-transfected Cos-7 cells and incubated with <i>S. aureus</i> for the indicated time at 37°C. The cells were lysed and subjected to immunoprecipitation with anti-HA antibody. Immunocomplexes were assayed by western blotting with anti-HA and anti-vinculin antibodies. Proteins levels were quantified using ImageJ in three independent experiments. (B) <i>S. aureus</i> was added to the medium of Cos-7 cells expressing GFP-Rab5 (WT) and RFP-vinculin (WT) and incubated for the indicated time at 37°C. The cells were fixed and immunostained with <i>S. aureus</i> antibodies. (C) HeLa cells were transfected with GFP-Rab5 (WT) and vinculin siRNA or control siRNA. <i>S. aureus</i> was added to the medium of transfected cell and incubated for the indicated time at 37°C. The cells were lysed and subjected to a GST-R5BD pull-down assay. GST-R5BD-bound beads and lysates were assayed by western blotting with anti-GFP antibody. Rab5-GTP levels were normalized to total GFP-Rab5 levels and quantified using ImageJ.</p
Effects of vinculin and Rab5 knockdown on <i>S. aureus</i> infection in murine lung.
<p>(A and B) Mouse lungs were transfected with vinculin and Rab5 siRNA. After 3 days, lungs were homogenized and treated with anti-vinculin, anti-Rab5, and anti-GAPDH (internal control) antibodies. (C and D) Murine lungs in which vinculin or Rab5 had been knocked down were infected with <i>S</i>. <i>aureus</i>. Lung tissues were analyzed for colony formation. The graph shows the mean ± S.E. of five independent experiments. (E–F) Murine lung in which vinculin (E and G) or Rab5 (F and H) had been knocked down was infected with <i>S</i>. <i>aureus</i>. The murine lung homogenates were assayed with anti-JNK, anti-phosphor-JNK, anti-ERK, anti-phosphor-Erk, anti-p38, anti-phosphor-p38, anti-IL-6, and anti-GAPDH (internal control) antibodies by western blotting.</p
Effect of vinculin and Rab5 knockdown on <i>S. aureus</i>-induced IL-6 expression.
<p>(A and B) <i>S. aureus</i> was added to the medium of HeLa cells with vinculin (A) or Rab5 (B) knockdown and incubated for 60 min at 37°C. The cell lysates were assayed with anti-JNK, anti-phosphor-JNK, anti-ERK, anti-phosphor-Erk, anti-p38, and anti-phosphor-p38 antibodies by western blotting. (C and D) <i>S. aureus</i> was added to the medium of HeLa cells with vinculin or Rab5 knockdown and incubated for 16 h. The cell lysate (C) and conditioned medium (D) were assayed with anti-IL-6 antibody by western blotting. GAPDH and albumin were internal controls.</p
Effects of vinculin and Rab5 knockdown on cellular uptake.

Uptake of pHrodo red-labeled <i>S. aureus</i>, transferrin Alexa 555, albumin Alexa 555, Lucifer yellow, and FM 4-64 was decreased. Error bar: n = 3−6±SE, **<i>p</i><0.01.</p
