Proteomic analysis of the interactome of WT and non-cleavable FUBI-eS30-StHA.

(S2-1) Spectral counts and SAINT Bayesian false discovery rates (BFDRs) of proteins identified in affinity purification mass spectrometry experiments of HASt-GFP (GFP), FUBI-eS30-StHA wild-type (WT), G73,74A (AA) or G74V (GV) performed in three independent biological replicates. (S2-2) Spectral counts of the confidently identified interactors with a BFDR < 0.01 for at least one bait were normalized to protein length (per 1000 amino acids, UniProt database) after addition of a pseudocount of 0.1. The average spectral counts identified on the individual (AA, GV) and combined (mut) non-cleavable mutants compared to WT FUBI-eS30-StHA were determined as a log2 fold change (log2FC). The enrichment of interactors on mut vs. WT was tested by ANOVA (p value and adjusted p values using FDR correction). Significantly enriched interactors (|log2FC| > one with an adjusted p value < 0.05) were categorized as deubiquitinase (DUB), 40S ribosome biogenesis factor (RBF), 60S RBF, ribosome-associated, or other enriched interactor.
