Across TCGA patient cohorts, RNA activity of the Anaphase-promoting complex-dependent catabolic process pathway is significantly associated with the protein abundance of multiple proteins, with the LUAD cohort showing a particularly strong set of associations.
The most reproducible pathway-associated proteins across cancer lineages are SMC2, SMC4, and TOP2A, each associated with the pathway in up to 10 cancer types. Since the analysis shows associations rather than directional relationships, both pathway-to-partner and partner-to-pathway views are reported.
Each partner is linked to its corresponding Q-omics profile. The scatter plot shows the strongest association, Anaphase-promoting complex-dependent catabolic process activity versus SMC2 in LUAD (Pearson r = 0.63).
