Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Affinity purification MS/MS identifying direct interactors of ALK- and ROS1-fusions used in this study; size: −log 10 BFDR, color gradient: log 2 EFC high (red) to low (grey). (B) Immunoprecipitation validating SHC1/3 as direct interactors of ALK-fusion (top two blot) and SHP2 as direct interactor of ROS1-fusion (bottom three blots),respectively; GAPDH: loading control, p-ALK (Tyr1507), -ROS1 (Tyr2274) antibody used to validate KD mutants, p-SHC1 (Tyr239/240), and p-SHP2 (Tyr580) antibodies used to validate activity of interactors; dashed lines: marker lane. (C) Western blot analysis of MAPK signaling in CCDC88::ALK and CLIP1::ROS1 models. GAPDH: loading control, p-ALK (Tyr1507), -ROS1 (Tyr2274) antibody used to validate KD mutants, p-SHP2 (Tyr580), p-GAB1 (Tyr642), p-MEK1/2 (Ser217/221), and p-ERK1/2 (Thr202/Tyr204) used to validate MAPK pathway activity, p-STAT3 (Tyr705), and p-STAT1 (Tyr701) used to validate STAT activation. (D) Western blot analysis of RNAi effect in PPP1CB::ALK models. GAPDH: loading control, p-ALK (Tyr1507) antibody used to validate retained ALK activity, p-SHP2 (Tyr580) and p-GAB1 (Tyr642), used to validate shPTPN11 , p-STAT3 (Tyr705), used to validate shSTAT3 . (E) Kaplan-Meier survival curves showing tumor induced mortality upon orthotopic intracranial injection of shRNA inhibited PPP1CB::ALK cells in NSG mice, groups are represented by individual curves, with a n=8 mice per group,; grey: PPP1CB::ALK shCtrl , dark petrol: PPP1CB::ALK shSTAT3 , light petrol: PPP1CB::ALK shPTPN11 ; statistical significance determined by log-rank test, **: p-value<0.01, *:p-value<0.05.
