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

Arginine methylation is a post-translational modification that impacts gene expression in both the cytoplasm and nucleus. Here, we demonstrate that arginine methylation also affects mitochondrial gene expression in the protozoan parasite, Trypanosoma brucei. Down-regulation of the major trypanosome type I protein arginine methyltransferase, TbPRMT1, leads to destabilization of specific mitochondrial mRNAs. We provide evidence that some of these effects are mediated by the mitochondrial RNA-binding protein, RBP16, which we previously demonstrated affects both RNA editing and stability. TbPRMT1 catalyzes methylation of RBP16 in vitro. Further, MALDI-TOF-MS analysis of RBP16 isolated from TbPRMT1-depleted cells indicates that, in vivo, TbPRMT1 modifies two of the three known methylated arginine residues in RBP16. Expression of mutated, nonmethylatable RBP16 in T. brucei has a dominant negative effect, leading to destabilization of a subset of those mRNAs affected by TbPRMT1 depletion. Our results suggest that the specificity and multifunctional nature of RBP16 are due, at least in part, to the presence of differentially methylated forms of the protein. However, some effects of TbPRMT1 depletion on mitochondrial gene expression cannot be accounted for by RBP16 action. Thus, these data implicate additional, unknown methylproteins in mitochondrial gene regulation.
