Figure Lengend Snippet: Identification of Myh9 as a direct binding target of Sa and evaluation of complex stability. A: Schematic representation of the chemoproteomic workflow using a biotin-labeled Sa probe in NIH3T3 cells. B: Coomassie blue-stained SDS-PAGE gel showing differential protein bands between treatment groups. The band marked by a dashed box was excised for LC-MS/MS analysis. C: Molecular docking model displaying the binding conformation of Sa with Myh9 and key interacting residues. D: Two-dimensional interaction diagram illustrating hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions between Sa and Myh9. E–G: Molecular dynamics simulation of the Sa–Myh9 complex: (E) RMSD, (F) RMSF of chain D, and (G) Rg plots, reflecting structural stability, residue flexibility, and compactness over 100 ns. H–K: CETSA evaluating Myh9 thermal stability in A253 (H and J) and NIH3T3 (I and K) cells treated with Sa (10 μg/ml). Melting curves derived from CETSA illustrate increased thermal stability of Myh9. Data are presented as mean ± SD. P < 0.05, P < 0.01 versus control group. CETSA, cellular thermal shift assay; RMSD, root mean square deviation; RMSF, root mean square fluctuation; Rg, radius of gyration.

Article Snippet: For the Myh9 inhibition assay, cells were pretreated with 2 μM Blebbistatin (TargetMol, Shanghai, China) for 4 h in serum-free medium.
