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

Myosin phosphatase-targeting subunit 1 (MYPT1) binds to the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1C). This binding is believed to target PP1C to specific substrates including myosin II, thus controlling cellular contractility. Surprisingly, we found that during mitosis, mammalian MYPT1 binds to polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1). MYPT1 is phosphorylated during mitosis by proline-directed kinases including cdc2, which generates the binding motif for the polo box domain of PLK1. Depletion of PLK1 by small interfering RNAs is known to result in loss of gamma-tubulin recruitment to the centrosomes, blocking centrosome maturation and leading to mitotic arrest. We found that codepletion of MYPT1 and PLK1 reinstates gamma-tubulin at the centrosomes, rescuing the mitotic arrest. MYPT1 depletion increases phosphorylation of PLK1 at its activating site (Thr210) in vivo, explaining, at least in part, the rescue phenotype by codepletion. Taken together, our results identify a previously unrecognized role for MYPT1 in regulating mitosis by antagonizing PLK1.
