The x-axis represents log₂ fold change (mutant vs WT), and the y-axis shows −log₁₀ adjusted p-value. Proteins enriched in WT samples are shown on the left, while those enriched in mutant samples are shown on the right. Selected significantly enriched proteins are labeled. VDAC1 is identified as a WT-enriched interactor.
