The AIP2 E3 ligase acts as a novel negative regulator of ABA signaling by promoting ABI3 degradation.

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.
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 phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) mediates many complex aspects of plant development including seed maturation, dormancy, and germination as well as root growth. The B3-domain transcription factor abscisic acid-insensitive 3 (ABI3) is a central regulator in ABA signaling, but little is known of how this factor is regulated. Here, we show that ABI3 is an unstable protein and that an ABI3-interacting protein (AIP2), which contains a RING motif, can polyubiquitinate ABI3 in vitro. The AIP2 E3 ligase activity is abolished by mutations (C230S; C231S) in the RING motif and the AIP2 (C/S) mutant functions in a dominant-negative manner. AIP2 has a stronger binding affinity for the B2 + B3 domain of ABI3 than the A1 + B1 domain, but only ubiquitinates the latter. In double-transgenic plants, induced AIP2 expression leads to a decrease in ABI3 protein levels. In contrast, ABI3 levels are elevated upon induced expression of the AIP2 RING mutant, which interferes with the endogenous AIP2 E3 activity. An aip2-1-null mutant shows higher ABI3 protein levels compared with wild type after seed stratification, and is hypersensitive to ABA, mimicking the ABI3-overexpression phenotype, whereas AIP2-overexpression plants contain lower levels of ABI3 protein than wild type and are more resistant to ABA, phenocopying abi3. Our results indicate that AIP2 negatively regulates ABA signaling by targeting ABI3 for post-translational destruction.
