Legend for Supplemental Figure 1. Schematic representation of the UMOD molecule showing the locations of the studied UAKD mutations. Italic numbers denote amino acid sequence positions for boundaries between different functional domains. White circles denote mutations with low cell surface expression; black circles denote mutations with high cell surface expression; grey circles denote mutations with no cell surface expression data; branched structures denote N-linked glycosylation sites.
H2N: N-terminus; SP: signal peptide; EGF: epidermal growth factor-like domain; Cys-rich:
cysteine-rich domain; D8C: domain of eight cysteines; ZP: zona pellucida domain; TM:
transmembrane domain; COOH: C-terminus.

UMOD mutations with their exons, functional domain, and cell surface expression. Also included is the cell line used in each reference. Mutations which had a cell surface expression
<50% were considered as low and mutations which had a cell surface expression >50% were considered as high. If there was a difference in percent expression between two published reports, the average between them was used as the marker for expression.
