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

Translational control in eukaryotes is exerted by many means, one of which involves a ribosome translating multiple cistrons per mRNA as in bacteria. It is called reinitiation (REI) and occurs on mRNAs where the main ORF is preceded by a short upstream uORF(s). Some uORFs support efficient REI on downstream cistrons, whereas some others do not. The mRNA of yeast transcriptional activator GCN4 contains four uORFs of both types that together compose an intriguing regulatory mechanism of its expression responding to nutrients' availability and various stresses. Here we subjected all GCN4 uORFs to a comprehensive analysis to identify all REI-promoting and inhibiting cis-determinants that contribute either autonomously or in synergy to the overall efficiency of REI on GCN4. We found that the 3' sequences of uORFs 1-3 contain a conserved AU1-2A/UUAU2 motif that promotes REI in position-specific, autonomous fashion such as the REI-promoting elements occurring in 5' sequences of uORF1 and uORF2. We also identified autonomous and transferable REI-inhibiting elements in the 3' sequences of uORF2 and uORF3, immediately following their AU-rich motif. Furthermore, we analyzed contributions of coding triplets and terminating stop codon tetranucleotides of GCN4 uORFs showing a negative correlation between the efficiency of reinitiation and efficiency of translation termination. Together we provide a complex overview of all cis-determinants of REI with their effects set in the context of the overall GCN4 translational control.
