1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Y-box proteins are major constituents of ribonucleoprotein particles (RNPs) which contain translationally silent mRNAs in gametic cells. We have recently shown that a sequence-specific RNA binding activity present in spermatogenic cells contains the two Y-box proteins MSY2 and MSY4. We show here that MSY2 and MSY4 bind a sequence, 5'-UCCAUCA-3', present in the 3' untranslated region of the translationally repressed protamine 1 (Prm1) mRNA. Using pre- and post-RNase T1-digested substrate RNAs, it was determined that MSY2 and MSY4 can bind an RNA of eight nucleotides containing the MSY2 and MSY4 binding site. Single nucleotide mutations in the sequence eliminated the binding of MSY2 and MSY4 in an electrophoretic mobility shift assay, and the resulting mutants failed to compete for binding in a competition assay. A consensus site of U(AC)C(A)CAU(C)CA(CU) (subscripts indicate nucleotides which do not disrupt YRS binding by MSY2 and MSY4), denoted the Y-box recognition site (YRS), was defined from this mutational analysis. These mutations in the YRS were further characterized in vivo using a novel application of the yeast three-hybrid system. Experiments with transgenic mice show that disruption of the YRS in vivo relieves Prm1-like repression of a reporter gene. The conservation of the RNA binding motifs among Y-box protein family members raises the possibility that other Y-box proteins may have previously unrecognized sequence-specific RNA binding activities.
