Supplementary Figure 2 Determination of LINK-A-PIP3 and LINK-A-Ins (1,3,4,5)P4 interactions by giant unilamellar vesicles and MS2-TRAP. (a and b) Fluorescence imaging of interaction between DOPC lipid vesicles (visualized by Nile Red) and indicated lncRNA (visualized by YOYO-1) (a) or YOYO-1 dye only (b). Left panel: Representative images. Scale bars, 50 nm. Middle and right panels: fluorescence intensities along the diagonal bars (middle panel) and intensity correlation between two channels (right panel) were shown. (c) Overlap coefficient between channel 1 (Nile Red) and channel 2 (YOYO-1) was calculated based on the number of giant lipid vesicles, LINK-A (n=34 lipid vesicles), BCAR4 (n=19 lipid vesicles), Lnc-131 (n=21 lipid vesicles), and H19 (n=7 lipid vesicles) (median, one-way ANOVA, ***p<0.001). (d and g) Relative expression level of MS2-tagged full-length LINK-A (d) or ΔPIP3

deletion mutant (g) in MDA-MB-231 cells was detected by RT-qPCR. (e and h) ELISA assay detecting the conversion of PIP2 to PIP3 by immunoprecipitated PI3K p110α from cells pretreated with DMSO, PI(1,4,5,6)P4 or PI(1,3,4,5,6)P5 (100 µM, 2 hrs) (e) or transfected with MS2-tagged full-length LINK-A or ΔPIP3 deletion mutant (h). (f and i) Immunoblotting detection of immunoprecipitated PI3K p110α from cells pretreated with DMSO, PI(1,4,5,6)P4 or PI(1,3,4,5,6)P5 (100 µM, 2 hrs) (f) or transfected with MS2-tagged full-length LINK-A or ΔPIP3 deletion mutant (i). For d, e, g and h, mean ± s.e.m. were derived from n=3 independent experiments (n.s. p>0.05 and ***p<0.001, two-tailed paired Student’s t-test). Statistics source data for a are in Supplementary Table 6. Unprocessed original scans of all blots with size marker are shown in Supplementary Fig. 9.

presence of unlabeled Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 as competitor (mean ± s.e.m. were derived from n=3 independent experiments). (c and d) Immunoblotting detection (c) or RIP-qPCR detection of indicated RNAs retrieved by PIP3-specific antibody (d) in MDA-MB-231 cells treated with DMSO or LY294002. For a, b and d, mean ± s.e.m. were derived from n=3 independent experiments (*p<0.05 and ***p<0.001, two-tailed paired Student’s t-test).

Supplementary Figure 6 Determination of LINK-A copy number and characterization of functional sufficiency of LINK-A copy number. (a) Generation of a standard curve for calculating LINK-A copy number. In vitro transcribed LINK-A (a range of amounts from 10 copies to 106 copies) was used to generate cDNAs and generated cDNAs were used in real-time PCR. The resultant CT values decreased linearly with increasing LINK-A copy number, indicating sensitive detection from a wide range of template amounts. (b-d) Determination of LINK-A copy number (b), AKT/GSK-3β activation (c) and cell proliferation (d) in MDA-MB-231 cells transfected with LNA against LINK-A followed by overexpression of indicated rescue plasmids and EGF stimulation. (e-g) LINK-A copy number (e), AKT/GSK-3β activation (f) and cell proliferation (g) were determined by RT-

qPCR, immunoblotting and cell proliferation assay in MCF-10A cells stably expressing full-length LINK-A or ΔPIP3 deletion mutant, with or without EGF stimulation. (h and i) RT-qPCR determination of LINK-A copy number (h) and quantification of cellular PIP3 in DLD-1 PIK3CA+/-cells delivered with PIP3 and indicated LINK-A single nucleotide mutated transcripts with or without EGF stimulation. (j) RT-qPCR determination of LINK-A copy number in DLD-1 PIK3CA+/+ cells delivered with indicated LINK-A single nucleotide mutated transcripts with or without EGF stimulation. For b, d, e, g, h, i and j, mean ± s.e.m. were derived from n=3 independent experiments (n.s. p>0.05, **p<0.01 and ***p<0.001, two-tailed paired Student’s t-test). Unprocessed original scans of all blots with size marker are shown in Supplementary Fig. 9.

(b) SNPs within LINK-A gene locus significantly associated with survival of lung cancer in TCGA samples (LUAD+LUSC) (n=793 lung tumors; *p<0.05, two-tailed Wilcoxon test). (c) SNPs within LINK-A gene locus significantly associated with lung cancer compared to normal lung tissues (n=2,332 lung tumors vs. n=3,077 normal lung tissues; *p<0.05 and **p<0.01, two-tailed Wilcoxon test).

Raw signal intensities were normalized in quantile method by GeneSpring GX v12.0, and low intensity LncRNAs were filtered (LncRNAs that at least 2 out of 2 samples have flags in Present or Marginal were chosen for further analysis). ProbeName: Probe Name. [1099714F] ~ [1099715F] (raw): Raw intensities of each sample. [1099714F] ~ [1099715F] (normalized): Normalized intensities of each sample (log2 transformed). GeneSymbol: LncRNA symbol name.

Supplementary Table 2 Changes in the LiP pattern of AKT PH domain upon PIP3, LINK-A or PIP3/LINK-A binding detected by LC-MS.Complete mass spectrometry analysis results for LiP assay with recombinant AKT PH domain (a.a. 1-111) in the presence of PIP3 alone or in combination with synthesized with wild-type LINK-A RNA oligonucleotide (nt.1,100-1,117) or indicated mutant. Peptide spectrum match numbers (#PSMs) from each experimental condition were shown.

Supplementary Table 3 Clinipathological parameters of tissue microarrays used in this study.HBre-Duc150Sur-01: Breast carcinoma, 150 cases, 1core/case, clinical stage I, II, III. Survival data followed up 9-12 years (US Biomax).T6235086-5: 37 different breast tumors and 3 corresponding normal control (Biochain);TMA007: Triple negative breast cancer tissue array, including TNM, clinical stage and pathology grade, majority cases with negative of ER, PR, HER-2 in IHC (Indivumed); Nanjing cohort: Breast cancer tissue array containing 20 breast cancer tissues (3 are triple negative), including TNM and clinical stage information, 20 cases/20 cores (Yixing people’s hospital); Duke cohort: 151 Frozen breast tumors samples with recurrence information, obtained 123 RNA isolation samples in all for qPCR assay, and all the breast cancer tissues were performed for tissue array by the core facility of MD Anderson, and 97 tissue samples were available in final for further assays (Duke University).
