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

Post-translational histone methylation is a dynamic and reversible process that is involved in the spatio-temporal regulation of gene transcription and contributes to various cellular phenotypes. Methylation of histone H3 at lysine 9 (H3K9), which is generally a transcriptional repression mark, is demethylated by H3K9-specific demethylases, leading to transcriptional activation. However, how multiple demethylases with the same substrate specificity differ in their chromatin targeting mechanisms has not been well understood. Unlike other H3K9-specific demethylases, it has been reported that JMJD1A likely forms a homodimer, but a detailed mode of dimerization and the possible link between structure and enzymatic activity have remained unresolved. Here, we report the structure-function relationship of JMJD1A in detail. First, JMJD1A forms a homodimer through its catalytic domains, bringing the two active sites close together. Second, increasing the concentration of JMJD1A facilitates efficient production of unmethylated product from dimethyl-H3K9 and decreases the release of the monomethylated intermediate. Finally, substituting one of the two active sites with an inactive mutant results in a significant reduction of the demethylation rate without changing the affinity to the intermediate. Given this evidence, we propose a substrate channeling model for the efficient conversion of dimethylated H3K9 into the unmethylated state. Our study provides valuable information that will help in understanding the redundancy of H3K9-specific demethylases and the complementary activity of their unique structures and enzymatic properties for appropriate control of chromatin modification patterns.
