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

A small inhibitor RNA (IRNA) isolated from yeast has previously been shown to efficiently block poliovirus and hepatitis C virus IRES-mediated translation by sequestering mammalian RNA-binding (transacting) factors that play important roles in cap-independent translation. Here we have investigated the IRNA-binding proteins that might be involved in cap-independent translation in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We have identified Zuotin, a DnaJ chaperone protein similar to mammalian HSP-40 chaperone, which interacts strongly with IRNA. Using ZUO1-deleted S. cerevisiae, we demonstrate a preferential requirement of Zuo1p for cap-independent translation mediated by the 5' untranslated region of the yeast TFIID mRNA. Further studies using zuo1delta S. cerevisiae complemented with various Zuo1p mutants indicate that the DnaJ domain of Zuo1p, known to influence its interaction with HSP-70, significantly affects cap-independent translation. These results demonstrate for the first time a role for an established chaperone protein in cap-independent translation of a cellular mRNA.
