‡The Wald test is a test of the effect of Mi-E318K carrier status on cancer risk using

logistic regression, with and without adjusting for principal components (PCs). The PCs were

§FET is the Fisher’s exact test for assessing whether the Mi-E318K allele frequency was

significantly different between each group of patients and controls (this test does not adjust

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.
