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

We found Nhp6a/b yeast HMG-box chromatin-associated architectural factors and Ssn6 (Cyc8) corepressor to be crucial transcriptional coactivators of FRE2 gene. FRE2 encoding a plasma membrane ferric reductase is induced by the iron-responsive, DNA-binding, transcriptional activator Aft1. We have shown that Nhp6 interacts directly with the Aft1 N-half, including the DNA-binding region, to facilitate Aft1 binding at FRE2 UAS. Ssn6 also interacts directly with the Aft1 N-half and is recruited on FRE2 promoter only in the presence of both Aft1 and Nhp6. This Nhp6/Ssn6 role in Aft1-mediated transcription is FRE2 promoter context specific, and both regulators are required for activation-dependent chromatin remodeling. Our results provide the first in vivo biochemical evidence for nonsequence-specific HMG-box protein-facilitated recruitment of a yeast gene-specific transactivator to its DNA target site and for Nhp6-mediated Ssn6 promoter recruitment. Ssn6 has an explicitly coactivating role on FRE2 promoter only upon induction. Therefore, transcriptional activation in response to iron availability involves multiple protein interactions between the Aft1 iron-responsive DNA-binding factor and global regulators such as Nhp6 and Ssn6.
