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 characterized the Arabidopsis orthologue of the human nuclear import receptor transportin1 (TRN1). Like the human receptor, Arabidopsis TRN1 recognizes nuclear import signals on proteins that are different from the classical basic nuclear localization signals. The M9 domain of human heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1 (hnRNP A1) is the prototype of such signals. We show that AtTRN1 binds to similar domains in hnRNP-like proteins from plants. AtTRN1 also interacts with human hnRNP A1 and with yeast Nab2p, two classical import cargo proteins of transportin in these organisms. Like all nuclear transport receptors of the importin-beta family, AtTRN1 binds to the regulatory GTPase Ran from Arabidopsis. We demonstrated that the amino terminus of AtTRN1 is necessary for this interaction. Recombinant AtTRN1 conferred nuclear import of fluorescently labelled BSA-M9 peptide conjugates in permeabilized HeLa cells, functionally replacing human TRN1 in these in vitro nuclear import assays. We identified three plant substrate proteins that interact with AtTRN1 and contain M9-like domains: a novel Arabidopsis hnRNP that shows high similarity to human hnRNP A1 and two small RNA-binding proteins from Arabidopsis, AtGRP7 and AtGRP8. Nuclear import activity of the M9-like domains of these plant proteins was demonstrated in vivo by their ability to confer partial nuclear re-localisation of a GFP fusion protein containing a nuclear export signal. In addition, fluorescently labelled AtGRP7 was specifically imported into nuclei of permeabilized HeLa cells by Arabidopsis AtTRN1 and human TRN1. These results suggest that the transportin-mediated nuclear import pathway is highly conserved between man, yeast and plants.
