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

Protein homeostasis in the secretory pathway is maintained by a hierarchy of quality control checkpoints, including endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD), which leads to the destruction of misfolded proteins in the ER, as well as post-ER proteolysis. Although most aberrant proteins are degraded by ERAD, some misfolded proteins escape the ER and are degraded instead by lysosomal/vacuolar proteases. To date, it remains unclear how misfolded membrane proteins are selected for these different fates. Here we designed a novel model substrate, SZ*, to investigate how substrate selection is mediated in yeast. We discovered that SZ* is degraded by both the proteasome and vacuolar proteases, the latter of which occurs after ER exit and requires the multivesicular body pathway. By interrogating how various conditions affect the fate of SZ*, we also discovered that heat-shock and substrate overexpression increase ERAD targeting. These conditions also increase substrate aggregation. We next found that aggregation of the membrane-free misfolded domain in SZ* is concentration dependent, and fusion of this misfolded domain to a post-ER quality control substrate instead targets the substrate for ERAD. Our data indicate that a misfolded membrane protein with a higher aggregation propensity is preferentially retained in the ER and targeted for ERAD.
