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

Wrch-1 is an atypical Rho family small GTPase with roles in migration, epithelial cell morphogenesis, osteoclastogenesis, and oncogenic transformation. Here, we observed rapid relocalization of Wrch-1 from the plasma membrane upon serum stimulation. Studies revealed a requirement for serum-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of Wrch-1 at residue Y254 within its C-terminal membrane targeting domain, mediated by the nonreceptor tyrosine kinase Src. Genetic or pharmacological loss of Src kinase activity blocked both phosphorylation and relocalization of Wrch-1. Functionally, Y254 was required for proper Wrch-1 modulation of cystogenesis in three-dimensional culture, and the phospho-deficient mutant, Y254F, was enhanced in Wrch-1-mediated anchorage-independent growth. Mechanistically, C-terminal tyrosine phosphorylation and subsequent relocalization of Wrch-1 downregulated its ability to interact with and activate its effectors by decreasing active Wrch-1-GTP, perhaps by altering proximity to a GEF or GAP. Phospho-deficient Wrch-1(Y254F) remained at the plasma membrane and GTP bound and continued to recruit and activate its effector PAK, even upon serum stimulation. In contrast, a phospho-mimetic mutant, Y254E, was constitutively endosomally localized and GDP bound and failed to recruit PAK unless mutated to be constitutively active/GAP insensitive. C-terminal tyrosine phosphorylation thus represents a new paradigm in posttranslational control of small GTPase localization, activation, and biological function.
