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

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) requires the sequential activities of virus-encoded proteins during replication. The activities of several host cell proteins and machineries are also critical to the completion of virus assembly and the release of infectious virus particles from cells. One of these proteins, the double-stranded RNA-binding protein Staufen1 (Stau1), selectively associates with the HIV-1 genomic RNA and the viral precursor Gag protein, pr55Gag. In this report, we tested whether Stau1 modulates pr55Gag assembly using a new and specific pr55Gag oligomerization assay based on bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) in both live cells and extracts after cell fractionation. Our results show that both the overexpression and knockdown of Stau1 increase the pr55Gag-pr55Gag BRET levels, suggesting a role for Stau1 in regulating pr55Gag oligomerization during assembly. This effect of Stau1 on pr55Gag oligomerization was observed only in membranes, a cellular compartment in which pr55Gag assembly primarily occurs. Consistently, expression of Stau1 harboring a vSrc myristylation signal led to a 6.5-fold enrichment of Stau1 in membranes and a corresponding enhancement in the Stau1-mediated effect on pr55Gag-pr55Gag BRET, demonstrating that Stau1 acts on assembly when targeted to membranes. A role for Stau1 in the formation of particles is further supported by the detection of membrane-associated detergent-resistant pr55Gag complexes and the increase of virus-like particle release when Stau1 expression levels are modulated. Our results indicate that Stau1 influences HIV-1 assembly by modulating pr55Gag-pr55Gag interactions, as shown in a live cell interaction assay. This likely occurs when Stau1 interacts with membrane-associated assembly intermediates.
