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 free form of human cytoplasmic arginyl-tRNA synthetase (hcArgRS) is hypothesized to participate in ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation by offering arginyl-tRNA(Arg) to arginyl-tRNA transferase (ATE1). We investigated the effect of hemin on hcArgRS based on the fact that hemin regulates several critical proteins in the "N-end rule" protein degradation pathway. Extensive biochemical evidence has established that hemin could bind to both forms of hcArgRS in vitro. Based on the spectral changes of the Soret band on site-directed protein mutants, we identified Cys-115 as a specific axial ligand of hemin binding that is located in the Add1 domain. Hemin inhibited the catalytic activity of full-length and N-terminal 72-amino acid-truncated hcArgRSs by blocking amino acid activation. Kinetic analysis demonstrated that the K(m) values for tRNA(Arg), arginine, and ATP in the presence of hemin were not altered, but k(cat) values dramatically decreased compared with those in the absence of hemin. By comparison, the activity of prokaryotic ArgRS was not affected obviously by hemin. Gel filtration chromatography suggested that hemin induced oligomerization of both the isolated Add1 domain and the wild type enzyme, which could account for the inhibition of catalytic activity. However, the catalytic activity of an hcArgRS mutant with Cys-115 replaced by alanine (hcArgRS-C115A) was also inhibited by hemin, suggesting that hemin binding to Cys-115 is not responsible for the inhibition of enzymatic activity and that the specific binding may participate in other biological functions.
