Table 2.

Overview of the different node and edge attributes in the PML-NB interaction network. In the 'field' column we present the attribute as it is assigned in the network. In the 'description' column we provide a brief explanation of what is embodied by the attribute. Finally, in the 'criteria' column the different sources of information are mentioned.

Field Description Criteria (in order)
Node Attributes
ID UniProtID 87 Retrieved from UniProt
Canonical Name Common name Most used in literature > First designation in UniProt
Cellular Localization Subcellular localization differentiates amongst the several organelles in the nucleus and cytoplasm. GO (cellular component ontology) > Locate 88 (marked with “*”) > Literature > predicted localization by Locate
Simplified Cellular Localization Only differentiates between nucleus, cytoplasm and shuttles between these two compartiments. 'nucleus' (all nuclear organelles); 'cytoplasm' (all cytoplasmatic organelles) and 'shuttle' between cytoplasm and nucleus.
Function For this attribute we used the UniProt ontology as a simplified version of the GO terms to provide a comprehensible overview. To annotate the network with the complete GO annotations we refer to Cytoscape plugins such as BINGO89. UniProt Ontologies > Panther database 90
Connection with disease This field is filled in when mutations, knockout or other modifications of the protein resulting in disease. If a MIM number was available it is mentioned, otherwise there is reference to specific publications. This attribute is additional information and does not mean that the PML-NBs are explicitly involved in the disease process. UniProt (General Annotation) and literature
Induction Information from UniProt and literature about regulation by several (bio)chemical stimuli. UniProt (General Annotation) and literature
SUMO Consensus We manually searched if any PML-NB components contained a predicted negatively charged amino acid-dependent sumoylation motif (NDSM)91 or phosphorylation-dependent sumoylation motif (PDSM)92 and present these in this attribute. Proteins predicted by us are labeled as 'IS Lab'. Literature
SUMO Isoform Here we provide an overview of the conjugated isoform described in literature. Proteins marked in this attribute with 'pathway' are enzymes or actors of the SUMO conjugation machinery. Literature
Remarks In the 'Remarks' attribute we provide potentially important details about the protein Literature and/or UniProt
Edge Attributes
Author(s) Reference to the first author, year of publication and PubMedID. PubMed
Source Indication of source where a certain interaction was found. Literature and/or database (IntAct, HPRD, BIOGRID, MINT and NPD) search
Methods Gives an overview of the methods used to detect the interaction. As a designation for these methods we used the same evidence code as used on BIOGRID. Literature and/or database (IntAct, HPRD, BIOGRID, MINT and NPD) search
Fluorescence Microscopy Gives details about the conditions for co-localization studies e.g. endogenous levels, overexpression data and or partial overlap (if mentioned in the publication) Literature
Cell type Cell type used for PML interaction studies. Literature
PML isoform For PML interactions it is important to make reference of the PML isoform used if this data is available. Literature
Remarks In the 'Remarks' attribute we provide potentially important details interaction Literature
