phosphorylated site; S, sumoylated site; U, ubiquitinated site.
Figure S4: Lack of sumoylation did not alter MITF nuclear localization. a, HEK293 cells
were co-transfected with wild type Mi- or mutant (p.K182R; Mi-E318K; p.K182R/p.E318K)
myc-tagged MITF and either a control pSG5 vector (EV) or pSG5 that carried the HA-
SUMO2 sequence. Cells were assessed by Western blot for MITF, SUMO2, and ERK2. b,
Immunofluorescence analysis of HEK293 cells transfected with myc-tagged wild type Mi or
mutant (p.K182R, Mi-E318K and p.K182R+p.E318K) MITF and labelled with an anti-myc
epitope tag, followed by Alexa Fluor 594 anti-mouse secondary antibody. Cell nuclei were
counterstained with DAPI. The bar represents 10 µm. c, Corresponding cell lysates were
analysed by Western blotting with MITF and ERK2 antibodies.
Figure S5: Mi-E318K did not affect MITF transcriptional activity on TYR and CDKN2A
promoters. Luciferase reporter gene containing either TYR or CDKN2A promoter were
cotransfected in 501mel human melanoma cells with pCDNA3 empty (EV) or encoding wild
type Mi or Mi-E318K. The results were expressed as the fold stimulation over basal
luciferase activity. Data represent the mean + SD of three independent experiments.

different transcriptional profile in A375 and RCC4 infected by wild type MI or Mi-E318K,
no gene is statistically differentially regulated by the two constructs in A375 cells. In contrast,
32 genes are differentially regulated by wild type Mi and Mi-E318K in RCC4 cells (see table
S3).
