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

The proteasome homeostasis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is regulated by a negative feedback loop in which the transcription factor Rpn4 induces the proteasome genes and is rapidly degraded by the assembled proteasome. In addition to the proteasome genes, Rpn4 regulates numerous other genes involved in a wide range of cellular pathways. Therefore, the Rpn4-proteasome negative feedback circuit not only controls proteasome abundance, but also gauges the expression of other Rpn4 target genes. Our previous work has shown that Rpn4-induced gene expression is critical for cell viability under stressed conditions. Here we investigate whether proteasomal degradation of Rpn4 is also important for cell survival in response to stress. To this end, we generate a stabilized Rpn4 mutant (Rpn4*) that retains its transcription activity. We find that expression of Rpn4* severely reduces cell viability in response to various genotoxic and proteotoxic agents. This detrimental effect can be eliminated by a point mutation that abolishes the transcription activity of Rpn4*, suggesting that overexpression of some Rpn4 target genes weakens the cell's ability to cope with stress. Moreover, we demonstrate that inhibition of Rpn4 degradation causes synthetic growth defects when combined with proteasome impairment resulting from mutation of a proteasome gene or accumulation of misfolded endoplasmic reticulum membrane proteins. Rpn4 thus represents an important stress-responsive mediator whose degradation as well as availability are critical for cell survival under stressed conditions.
