Figure S1. Somatic mutations in the MITF gene in metastatic melanoma. In each case, the top sequence chromatogram was obtained from normal tissue and the lower sequence chromatogram from the indicated tumors. Arrows indicate the location of missense mutations. The nucleotide and amino acid alterations are indicated below the tumor chromatograms.
Figure S2. Somatic mutations in the SOX10 gene in metastatic melanoma. In each case, the top sequence chromatogram was obtained from normal tissue and the lower sequence chromatogram from the indicated tumors. The nucleotide and amino acid alterations are indicated below the tumor chromatograms.
Figure S3. MITF activates the Human Dct promoter in ARPE-19 cells. ARPE-19 cells were transiently transfected with the indicated constructs together with the HuDct-luciferase reporter construct. Firefly luciferase activities in samples were normalized to Renilla luciferase activities in the same samples. Ratios between firefly and Renilla are shown as fold activation.
Table S1. Amino acid changes or amplifications observed for each gene in 50 melanomas. “Amp” indicates amplification, “NA” indicated not amplified, “WT” indicates wild-type sequence, “MUT” indicates that the tumors contained a somatic mutation in the indicated gene (BRAF mutations are V600E and NRAS mutations are Q61R), “LOH” refers to cases wherein the wild-type allele was lost and only the mutant allele remained. Mutations in red are likely to be activating, while mutations in yellow are likely to be inactivating either because they are frameshift alterations or becuase they appear to be biallelic.
Table S2. Total number of genetic alterations detected in melanoma tumors.
Table S3. Primers used for PCR amplication and sequencing.
