Susceptibility to heat stress and aberrant gene expression patterns in holocarboxylase synthetase-deficient Drosophila melanogaster are caused by decreased biotinylation of histones, not of carboxylases.

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

Previously, we discovered that holocarboxylase synthetase (HCS) is a chromatin-associated protein in Drosophila melanogaster and that HCS deficiency alters chromatin structure and gene expression patterns, leading to decreased heat tolerance. The effects of HCS deficiency were attributed to decreased biotinylation of histones. However, HCS is known to mediate biotinylation of carboxylases in cytoplasm and mitochondria in addition to mediating biotinylation of histones. A challenge posed by the genetic analysis of HCS is to distinguish between the effects of decreased biotinylation of carboxylases from the effects of decreased histone biotinylation in the gene expression patterns and phenotypes observed in HCS-deficient flies. Here, we tested whether 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase (MCC) mutant flies exhibit gene expression patterns and heat susceptibility similar to that in HCS-deficient Drosophila. Biotin transporter [sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter (SMVT)] mutants were used to investigate effects of cellular biotin depletion on gene expression and heat susceptibility. Deficiencies of MCC and SMVT in mutant flies were confirmed by real-time PCR, streptavidin blotting of holocarboxylases, and analysis of MCC activities; expression of HCS and biotinylation of histones were not altered in MCC and SMVT mutants. Gene expression patterns in MCC and SMVT mutants were different from that seen with HCS-deficient flies, as judged by the abundance of mRNA coding for defective chorion 1, chitin-binding peritrophin-A, dopamine receptor 2, and yolk protein 2. MCC mutants exhibited increased resistance to heat stress compared with wild-type flies. We conclude that gene expression patterns and phenotypes in HCS-deficient flies in previous studies are caused by decreased biotinylation of histones rather than MCC.
