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

Transcription of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae ARG1 gene is under the control of both positive and negative elements. Activation of the gene in minimal medium is induced by Gcn4. Repression occurs in the presence of arginine and requires the ArgR/Mcm1 complex that binds to two upstream arginine control (ARC) elements. With the recent finding that the E2 ubiquitin conjugase Rad6 modifies histone H2B, we examined the role of Rad6 in the regulation of ARG1 transcription. We find that Rad6 is required for repression of ARG1 in rich medium, with expression increased approximately 10-fold in a rad6 null background. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis indicates increased binding of TATA-binding protein in the absence of Rad6. The active-site cysteine of Rad6 is required for repression, implicating ubiquitination in the process. The effects of Rad6 at ARG1 involve two components. In one of these, histone H2B is the likely target for ubiquitination by Rad6, since a strain expressing histone H2B with the principal ubiquitination site converted from lysine to arginine shows a fivefold relief of repression. The second component requires Ubr1 and thus likely the pathway of N-end rule degradation. Through the analysis of promoter constructs with ARC deleted and an arg80 rad6 double mutant, we show that Rad6 repression is mediated through the ArgR/Mcm1 complex. In addition, analysis of an ada2 rad6 deletion strain indicated that the SAGA acetyltransferase complex and Rad6 act in the same pathway to repress ARG1 in rich medium.
