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

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation (ERAD) of unassembled T-cell receptor alpha-chain (TCRalpha) is reliant on the presence of two basic residues in the transmembrane (TM) segment of TCRalpha. The precise role of these residues in ER quality control is unclear. Here, we show that a TCRalpha mutant lacking these intramembrane charged residues has a tendency to form homooligomers through an interchain disulfide bond that involves a specific pair of cysteine residues. Covalent oligomerization of TCRalpha appears to stabilize it at the ER membrane. The presence of a single lysine residue at specific positions within the TCRalpha TM domain abolishes its oligomerization and causes its rapid degradation. Conversely, when TCRalpha oligomerization is induced by a bivalent compound, the degradation of TCRalpha is inhibited. Together, these results suggest that the intramembrane charged residues in TCRalpha do not function as a signal for substrate recognition in ERAD. Instead, their primary role is to reduce TCRalpha oligomerization, maintaining it in a retrotranslocation-competent state. Our results also suggest that the ERAD machinery is inefficient when coping with oligomerized substrates, indicating a requirement for chaperone-mediated protein disassembly in the ER lumen prior to retrotranslocation.
