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

The human adenosine A2A receptor (A(2A)R) belongs to one of the largest family of membrane proteins, the G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), characterized by seven transmembrane (TM) helices. Little is known about the determinants of their structures, folding, assembly, activation mechanisms, and oligomeric states. Previous studies in our group showed that peptides corresponding to all seven TM domains form stable helical structures in detergent micelles and lipid vesicles. However, the peptides behave differently; TM5 is the only peptide to have a ratio [theta]222/[theta]208 obtained by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy>1. This finding suggested to us that TM5 might self-associate. In the present study, we investigate the unique properties of the TM5 domain. We performed detailed analyses of TM5 peptide behavior in membrane-mimetic environments using CD spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy and Förster resonance energy transfer, and gel electrophoresis. We find that TM5 peptide has the ability to self-associate to form oligomeric structures in various hydrophobic milieus and that these oligomers are highly resistant to temperature and chemical denaturation. We also find that mutation of the full-length A(2A)R at position M193, which is located in the fifth TM domain, noticeably alters A(2A)R monomer: dimer ratio as observed on SDS-PAGE. Our results suggest that parallel association of TM5 dimers may play a role in the known adenosine A2A receptor dimerization. This study represents the first evidence of an individual GPCR transmembrane domain self-association.
