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

Eukaryotic poly(A) binding protein (PABP) is a ubiquitous, essential cellular factor with well-characterized roles in translational initiation and mRNA turnover. In addition, there exists genetic and biochemical evidence that PABP has an important nuclear function. Expression of PABP from Arabidopsis thaliana, PAB3, rescues an otherwise lethal phenotype of the yeast pab1Delta mutant, but it neither restores the poly(A) dependent stimulation of translation, nor protects the mRNA 5' cap from premature removal. In contrast, the plant PABP partially corrects the temporal lag that occurs prior to the entry of mRNA into the decay pathway in the yeast strains lacking Pab1p. Here, we examine the nature of this lag-correction function. We show that PABP (both PAB3 and the endogenous yeast Pab1p) act on the target mRNA via physically binding to it, to effect the lag correction. Furthermore, substituting PAB3 for the yeast Pab1p caused synthetic lethality with rna15-2 and gle2-1, alleles of the genes that encode a component of the nuclear pre-mRNA cleavage factor I, and a factor associated with the nuclear pore complex, respectively. PAB3 was present physically in the nucleus in the complemented yeast strain and was able to partially restore the poly(A) tail length control during polyadenylation in vitro, in a poly(A) nuclease (PAN)-dependent manner. Importantly, PAB3 in yeast also promoted the rate of entry of mRNA into the translated pool, rescued the conditional lethality, and alleviated the mRNA export defect of the nab2-1 mutant when overexpressed. We propose that eukaryotic PABPs have an evolutionarily conserved function in facilitating mRNA biogenesis and export.
