TRANSCRIPT
EXTENDED METHODS
Plasmids
HA-Sin1-N (aa 1-137), HA-Sin1-CRIM (aa 138-266) and HA-Sin1-RBD (aa 267-376) were constructed by
cloning the corresponding cDNAs into pSuper-HA-cDNA3 vector via BamHI/BglII and EcoRI sites.
HA-Sin1-PH (aa 377-522) or CMV-GST-Sin1-PH was constructed by cloning the corresponding cDNAs
into pSuper-HA-cDNA3, pGEX-4T-1 or pCMV-GST vector via BamHI/BglII and XhoI/SalI sites.
HA-mTOR-KD and Flag-mTOR-KD (aa 2180-2431) were constructed by cloning the corresponding
cDNAs into pcDNA3-HA or pcDNA3-Flag vector via BamHI and EcoRI sites. pCMV-GST-mTOR
fragments were constructed by cloning the corresponding cDNAs into pCMV-GST vector through BamHI
and XhoI sites, except mTOR-HEAT was cloned using SalI and NotI sites. The chimeric
pcDNA3-HA-Sin1-PH-Akt1-WT was constructed by ligating Sin1-PH PCR products into the
pcDNA3-HA-Akt1-ΔPH construct through BamHI/BglII and EcoRI sites. pGEX-4T-1-Sin1-N, CRIM,
RBD and PH constructs are as described previously (1). pGEX-4T-1-PLCδ-PH was constructed by
subcloning BamHI/EcoRI digested PLCδ-PH PCR products into pGEX-4T-1 vector. pCMV-GST-RPL26
was constructed by cloning BamHI/SalI cut RPL26 PCR products into pCMV-GST vector. Various Sin1
mutants were generated using the QuikChange XL Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit (Stratagene) according to
the manufacturer’s instructions. shSin1-resistant mutants were generated with specific primer sequences
listed below to generate the silent mutations :
5’-CGCAAATTGACATAGCCACCGTGCAAGATATGCAAGATATGCTTAGCAGCC-3’ (sense) and
5’-GGCTGCTAAGCATATCTTGCACGGTGGCTATGTCAATTTGCG-3’ (antisense). The CAAX
versions of Sin1 constructs were generated by the following PCR primers: forward
(5’-GCATAGATCTCGATCTGAGAACTTCAGG-3’) and reverse (5’-GCATGAATTCTTACATAAT
TACACACTTTGTCTTTGACTTCTTTTTCTTCTTTTTGCCGCCCTGCTGCCCGGATTTCTTC-3’.

Details of plasmid constructions will be provided upon request.
shRNAs
shRNA vectors to deplete endogenous human PIKFYVE were purchased from GE Dharmacon
(RHS4533-EG200576). shRNA vectors to deplete endogenous human PIK3CA were also purchased from
GE Dharmacon (RHS4533-EG5290). To generate the lenti-viral shRNA construct against human Sin1, the
following sequences were cloned into the pLKO-hygro-lenti-viral vectors (sense:
5’-GCCACAGTACAGGATATGCTT-3’; anti-sense: 5’-AAGCATATCCTGTACTGTGGC-3’).
Cell Fractionation
Cell fractionation was performed using the fractionation kit purchased from Cell Signaling Technology
(9018) according to manufacture’s instructions.
The MST Analysis
The determination of the binding affinity between GST-Akt1-PH (aa 1-107) or GST-Sin1-PH (aa 1-137)
and IP4 was performed by MST according to manufacturer’s instructions with 60% LED power and 40%
MST power (Nano Temper, Monolith NT.115). Fluorescently labeled GST-Akt1-PH proteins or
GST-Sin1-PH proteins were used as tracer. The final concentrations of peptides ranged from 122 nM to
2 mM.
Colony Formation Assays
Cells were seeded in 6-well plates (300 or 600 cells/well) and left for 8-12 days until formation of visible
3
colonies. Colonies were washed with PBS and fixed with 10% acetic acid/10% methanol for 20 min, then
stained with 0.4% crystal violet/20% ethanol for 20 min. After staining, the plates were washed with
distilled water and air-dried.
Cell Viability Assays
Cells were plated at 3,000 per well in 96-well plates, and incubated with complete DMEM medium
containing different concentrations of etoposide (Sigma, E1383), cisplatin (Selleck S1166), doxorubicin
(Sigma, D1515) or Taxol (Sigma T7191) for 24 or 48 hr as indicated. Assays were performed with
CellTiter-Glo Luminescent Cell Viability Assay Kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions
(Promega).
Soft Agar Assays
The anchorage independence cell growth assays were performed as described previously (2). Briefly, the
assays were preformed using 6-well plates and the solid medium consists of two layers. The bottom layer
contains 0.8% noble agar and the top layer contains 0.4% agar. 1x105 cells were plated in the top layer. 500
µL complete DMEM medium was added every 3 days to keep the top layer moistured and 4 weeks later the
cells were stained with iodonitrotetrazolium chloride for colony visualization and counting. Three
independent experiments were performed to generate the error bar.

H-I, PIP3 beads pull down active mTORC2 complex in CHAPS buffer conditions. In vitro kinase assays indicating that PIP3 beads pull-down mTORC2 complexes are active in phosphorylating Akt-S473. Where indicated, Torin (1 µM), pp242 (1 µM) and rapamycin (20 nM) were added to cell culture medium for 4 hrs before harvesting cells for PIP3 pull-down.
J, Representative confocal images illustrating that depletion of PI3KCA, but not PIKFYVE, leads to attenuated Sin1-PH plasma membrane proximity localization.
K, Representative immuno-florescent images to illustrate endogenous Rictor could be in part enriched on the plasma membrane upon insulin stimulation in Sin1+/+, but not Sin1-/- MEFs, nor Sin1+/+ MEFs treated with PIK3CA inhibitor BKM120. Cells were serum starved for 24 hr before adding insulin (100 nM) for 15 min. Where indicated, BKM120 (100 nM) were added in cells for 2 hr before insulin stimulation.
L, Representative immuno-florescent images to illustrate that the Rictor antibody used in (K) mainly detects specific Rictor-derived signals in Rictor+/+, but not Rictor-/- MEFs.

Figure S5. The Sin1-PH motif mainly interacts with PI(3,4,5)P3 through three critical residues including R393, K428 and K464, Related to Figure 5. A, The Sin1-R393A/K428A/K464A mutant is deficient in promoting Akt-S473 phosphorylation in cells.
Immunoblot (IB) analysis of whole cell lysates (WCLs) derived from Sin1-/- MEFs transfected with indicated HA-Sin1 constructs. Where indicated, 24 hr post-transfection, cells were serum starved for 24 hr before adding insulin (100 nM) for 30 min.
B, Sin1-CAA is deficient in activating Akt-S473 phosphorylation in an insulin dose-dependent manner. HAP1-Sin1-/- cells (#002) were infected with MSCV-Sin1-HA-WT or CAA retroviruses and recovered for 24 hr before splited for serum starvation for an additional 24 hr. Subsequently, resulting cells were treated with indicated doses of insulin for 40 min before harvested for IB analysis.
C, All Sin1 mutants examined maintain binding ability to other mTORC2 components. IB analysis of WCLs and HA-IPs derived from HEK293T cells transfected with indicated HA-Sin1 constructs.
D, PIP3polysomes promote Sin1-WT, but not Sin1-CAA containing mTORC2 complex activation in vitro. Indicated mTORC2 component constructs were transfected into Sin1-/- MEFs and inactive mTORC2 complexes were immune-precipitated against HA-Rictor after 48 hr serum starvation. Increasing amounts of PIP3-polysomes were added to the inactive precipitates and incubated for 30 min before other kinase reaction components were added. The kinase reactions were carried out at 30 oC for 1 hr and terminated by addition of SDS sample buffers.
E, RPL26 retains its interaction with Sin1-CAA to a comparable level to Sin1-WT in cells. IB analysis of WCLs and HA-IPs or GST pulldowns derived from HEK293T cells transfected with indicated HA-Sin1 constructs together with GST-PRL26.
F, MicroScale Thermophoresis (MST) analysis determined the Kd of the interaction between GST-Sin1-PH-CAA (aa 1-137) and IP4 was determined to be 365 µM in vitro.
G-H, The Sin1-PH-CAA mutant is deficient in Akt phosphorylation in cells in response to EGF (G) or IGF-1 (H). IB analysis of HA-IPs derived from HeLa cells transfected with indicated chimeric constructs. Where indicated, cells were serum starved for 24 hr before addition of EGF (100 ng/ml) for 10 min or IGF-1 (100 ng/ml) for 30 min.
I, Sin1-WT, but not Sin1-CAA, could be in part enriched on the plasma membrane upon stimulation by EGF (100 ng/ml) for 5 min. Please refer to the method section for detailed cell fractionation protocol.
J, Representative immuno-florescent images to illustrate that GFP-Sin1-PH-WT, but not GFP-Sin1-PH-CAA, is in part enriched on plasma membrane upon stimulation by insulin (100 nM) for 15 min.
K, Sin1-CAA is deficient in activating Akt in cells. IB analysis of WCLs derived from Sin1 depleted OVCAR5 cells stably expressing either MSCV-Sin1-WT-HA or MSCV-Sin1-CAA-HA via retro-viral infections. Where indicated, cells were serum starved for 36 hr before insulin (100 nM) was added for the indicated time periods before cell collection.
L-M, The endogenous Sin1-depleted OVCAR5 cell lines stably expressing either MSCV-Sin1-HA-WT or MSCV-Sin1-HA-CAA were cultured in 10% FBS-containing medium with the indicated concentrations of doxorubicin (L) or cisplatin (M) for 24 hrs before performing the cell viability assays. Data was shown as mean + SD for three independent experiments. No statistical significance was observed between WT and CAA at each drug concentration (Student’s t-test).
N, Doxorubicin or cisplatin treatment leads to elevated Akt phosphorylation in cells. Indicated cells were treated with 5 µM doxorubicin or 20 µM cisplatin for 24 hr and harvested for IB analysis.

Figure S7. C-terminal tagging of KRas-CAAX to Sin1 could partially rescue the deficiency of the Sin1-CAA mutant in membrane recruitment and mTORC2 activation, Related to Figure 7. A, C-terminal addition of KRas-CAAX sequence in part rescues Sin1-CAA in phosphorylating Akt-S473
in cells. Immuno-blot (IB) analysis of whole cell lysates (WCLs) derived from Sin1-/- MEFs transfected with indicated Sin1 constructs. Where indicated, 24 hr post-transfection, cells were serum starved for 24 hr and 100 nM insulin was added to culture medium for 30 min before cell collection.
B, In vitro kinase assay indicating that in-frame addition of C-terminal KRas-CAAX sequence could in part rescue the Sin1-CAA mutant in phosphorylating Akt-S473 in vitro.
C, Representative immuno-florescent (IF) images to illustrate that the C-terminal addition of KRas-CAAX sequence enables part of Sin1-WT-CAAX molecules to localize to plasma membrane even under serum starved conditions. Where indicated, cells transfected with HA-Sin1 were serum starved for 24 hr before addition of 100 nM insulin for 15 min. Cells were then fixed and stained as indicated.
D, Representative immuno-florescent (IF) images to illustrate that the C-terminal addition of KRas-CAAX sequence rescues part of Sin1-CAA-CAAX molecules to localize to plasma membrane under insulin stimulation conditions. Where indicated, cells transfected with HA-Sin1 were serum starved for 24 hr before addition of 100 nM insulin for 15 min. Cells were then fixed and stained as indicated.
E, Addition of a C-terminal CAAX tag mostly abolishes Akt phosphorylation in cells. IB analysis of WCLs and HA-IPs derived from HeLa cells tranfected with indicated HA-Akt1 constructs. Where indicated, cells were serum starved for 24 hrs and stimulated by 100 ng/ml EGF for the indicated periods before harvesting.
F-G, A C-terminal addition of KRas-CAAX sequence in Sin1 leads to elevated Akt-pS473 signals in Akt1-E17K in cells. IB of WCLs derived from Sin1-/- MEFs transfected with HA-Akt1-E17K and indicated HA-Sin1 constructs. Where indicated, 24 hr post-transfection, cells were serum starved for 24 hr before addition of 100 nM insulin for 30 min.
H, Sin1 mutations and Akt amplifications are mutually exclusive in ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma patient samples (from cBio database).
