Identification of novel targets in XWLC
a. Flow chart showing the integration of mutation-informed PPI analysis, molecular dynamic simulation and experiment validation to identify novel targets; b. Network visualization of XWLC_oncoPPIs. Edge thickness represents the number of missense mutations at the protein-protein interaction (PPI) interface, while node size indicates connectivity; c. MAD1-MAD2 interaction model and the p.Arg558His mutation at the interface (left). The complex model was generated using Zdock protein docking simulation. The right distribution showing root-mean-squared deviation (RMSD) during a 20 ns molecular dynamics simulation of MAD1 wild type vs. MAD1 p.Arg558His in the complex; d. Model showing the p.His550Gln alteration within the TPRN-PPP1CA complex (left). The right distribution showing root-mean-squared deviation (RMSD) during a 20 ns molecular dynamics simulation for TPRN wild type vs. TPRN p.His550Gln (H550Q) in the complex; e. Survival analysis of TPRN mutation group and unaltered group derived from cbioportal using TCGA-LUAD cohort (https://www.cbioportal.org/); f. CCK8 assay for TPRN-MT, TPRN-WT, and CK cell lines in A549 cells which was transfected by mutant TPRN, wild-type and empty vector, respectively. g. Transwell assay for TPRN-MT, TPRN-WT, and CK after 24h and 36h in A549 cells. Magnification was set to 40x; h.Bar chart showing the statistical results of transwell assay; i. Cell colon assay for TPRN-MT, TPRN-WT and CK in A549 and H1299 cell line. The two-tailed Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to calculate p-values in f and h. *.p<0.05; **,p <0.01; ***, p<0.001;
