Additional data file 5:

A subset of the human protein complexes was analyzed with PEGO. For each protein complex, the GO Biological process term(s), G, and the time interval, T, if present, are indicated, displaying best p value lower than 0.05 after statistical analysis by means of hypergeometric distribution (Table 2, and Additional data files 1 and 7). These are the input parameters used to obtain Additional data file 6. (a) Thy-Thy2; (b) Thy-Thy3; (c) Thy-Noc. An asterisk indicates that the p value for the expression peak was between 0.1 and 0.05.

Additional data file 6:

Time interval (T) with best p value and GO Biological process term (G) with best p value were used to query PEGO (Additional data file 5). T genes, number of genes in the dataset with expression peak in T; G genes, number of genes in the dataset annotated at G; I genes, number of genes in the dataset with expression peak in T and GO G; T complex genes, number of genes of the protein complex with expression peak in T; G complex genes, number of genes of the protein complex with GO G; I complex genes, number of genes of the protein complex with expression peak in T and GO G; T % complex genes, (T complex genes/T genes) × 100; G % complex genes, (G complex genes/G genes) × 100; I % complex genes, I complex genes/I genes) × 100; % complex genes, percentage of genes of the protein complex with expression peak in T and GO G. An asterisk indicates that the p value for the expression peak is between 0.1 and 0.05. (a) Thy-Thy2; (b) Thy-Thy3; (c) Thy-Noc.

Additional data file 7:

The first column lists the complexes (the same as analyzed in Additional data file 5), and the second, third and fourth columns provide information on the ontology and GO category. In the following four columns we report the input information for p value evaluation using the hypergeometric distribution (Additional data file 12) and in the last column the corresponding p values. Only GO terms with a p value with exponent lower or equal to E-05 are reported. (a) Thy-Thy2; (b) Thy-Thy3; (c) Thy-Noc.

Additional data file 9:

Images show a broader molecular weight range of the blots in Figure 4. (a) HeLa cell lysate was immunoprecipitated with anti-PAK1 antibody or rabbit serum and blotted with anti α-tubulin antibody. (b) HeLa cell lysate blotted with anti-PAK1 antibody. The time exposure of (b) is higher than in Figure 4 to better evaluate the specificity of the antibody.
