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

About one-third of the eukaryotic proteome undergoes ubiquitylation, but the enzymatic cascades leading to substrate modification are largely unknown. We present a genetic selection tool that utilizes Escherichia coli, which lack deubiquitylases, to identify interactions along ubiquitylation cascades. Coexpression of split antibiotic resistance protein tethered to ubiquitin and ubiquitylation target together with a functional ubiquitylation apparatus results in a covalent assembly of the resistance protein, giving rise to bacterial growth on selective media. We applied the selection system to uncover an E3 ligase from the pathogenic bacteria EHEC and to identify the epsin ENTH domain as an ultraweak ubiquitin-binding domain. The latter was complemented with a structure-function analysis of the ENTH-ubiquitin interface. We also constructed and screened a yeast fusion library, discovering Sem1 as a novel ubiquitylation substrate of Rsp5 E3 ligase. Collectively, our selection system provides a robust high-throughput approach for genetic studies of ubiquitylation cascades and for small-molecule modulator screening.
