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

DJ-1 is a conserved, ubiquitous protein associated to a large number of intracellular processes. Human DJ-1 has been linked to several pathologies, including hereditary forms of Parkinson's disease, cancer, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Several cytoprotective functions of DJ-1 have been reported, however, its actual mechanisms of action remain elusive. In vitro, DJ-1 has been shown to bind zinc and copper(II) at its active site, which contains a conserved cysteine (C106), and copper(I) at a different binding site. C106 is essential to DJ-1 function, and is easily oxidized upon oxidative stress. Here, we investigated the metal-binding- and redox properties of DJ-1 in living human cells by in-cell NMR. Intracellular DJ-1 is surprisingly free from interactions with any other cellular components and as such is clearly detectable by NMR. Metal-bound forms of DJ-1 were not observed upon treating the cells with excess zinc or copper. No copper binding was observed when co-expressing DJ-1 with the copper chaperone for superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1). Co-expression of DJ-1 with SOD1 itself did not promote copper binding to SOD1, excluding a previously suggested function of DJ-1 as a copper chaperone. Overall, our data do not support the role of DJ-1 as a metalloprotein. Conversely, oxidative treatment to the cells caused the complete and selective oxidation of C106 to sulfinic acid, consistent with the reported role of DJ-1 as a redox sensor.
