Is there a role for ubiquitin or SUMO in human T-cell leukemia virus type 2 Tax-induced NF-κB activation?
Article in Future virology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
It is well established that the human T-cell leukemia virus type 1-encoded oncoprotein Tax (Tax1) undergoes polyubiquitination as part of its mechanism to persistently activate NF-κB. However, it remains unclear whether Tax2 encoded by the closely related human T-cell leukemia virus type 2 utilizes any post-translational mechanisms to activate NF-κB. This study examines the role of ubiquitination and SUMOylation in Tax2 activation of NF-κB. The authors have demonstrated that, in contrast to Tax1, Tax2 is not conjugated by ubiquitin or SUMO proteins. Overexpression of the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme Ubc13 specifically enhances Tax1, but not Tax2, ubiquitination and NF-κB activation. Furthermore, a Tax2 lysineless mutant that is unable to be ubiquitinated, SUMOylated or acetylated retains NEMO/IKKγ interactions and activation of the NF-κB pathway. Together, these results provide evidence that Tax1 and Tax2 utilize distinct mechanisms to activate NF-κB.
