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

JAK2 activation is crucial for cytokine receptor signal transduction and leukemogenesis. However, the underlying processes that lead to full activation of JAK2 are unclear. Here, we report a positive role for ubiquitination of JAK2 during GM-CSF-induced activation. Upon GM-CSF stimulation, JAK2 ubiquitination is significantly enhanced through K63-linked poly-ubiquitination. Studies employing both knockout and overexpression of Cbl, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, led to the conclusion that Cbl specifically promotes JAK2 ubiquitination, and this was further confirmed in vitro using a Cbl ubiquitination assay. Moreover, following GM-CSF stimulation, the levels of phospho-JAK2 and -STAT5 and a STAT5 luciferase reporter assay were all reduced in Cbl knockout cells and this effect could be rescued by Cbl expression. Mechanistically, Cbl can interact with, and ubiquitinate JAK2 FERM and kinase domains via the Cbl TKB domain. Using lysine-to-arginine site-directed mutagenesis, K970 in the kinase domain of JAK2 was identified as the ubiquitination site important for promoting full JAK2 activation by Cbl via K63-conjugated poly-ubiquitination. Our study suggests that GM-CSF-induced JAK2 activation is enhanced by Cbl-mediated ubiquitination of JAK2. Targeting ubiquitination of JAK2 might offer a novel therapeutic strategy against JAK2-mediated disorders.
