An αB-Crystallin Peptide Rescues Compartmentalization and Trafficking Response to Cu Overload of ATP7B-H1069Q, the Most Frequent Cause of Wilson Disease in the Caucasian Population.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
The H1069Q substitution is the most frequent mutation of the Cu transporter ATP7B that causes Wilson disease in the Caucasian population. ATP7B localizes to the Golgi complex in hepatocytes, but, in the presence of excessive Cu, it relocates to the endo-lysosomal compartment to excrete Cu via bile canaliculi. In contrast, ATP7B-H1069Q is strongly retained in the ER, does not reach the Golgi complex and fails to move to the endo-lysosomal compartment in the presence of excessive Cu, thus causing toxic Cu accumulation. We have previously shown that, in transfected cells, the small heat-shock protein αB-crystallin is able to correct the mislocalization of ATP7B-H1069Q and its trafficking in the presence of Cu overload. Here, we first show that the α-crystallin domain of αB-crystallin mimics the effect of the full-length protein, whereas the N- and C-terminal domains have no such effect. Next, and most importantly, we demonstrate that a twenty-residue peptide derived from the α-crystallin domain of αB-crystallin fully rescues Golgi localization and the trafficking response of ATP7B-H1069Q in the presence of Cu overload. In addition, we show that this peptide interacts with the mutant transporter in the live cell. These results open the way to attempt developing a pharmacologically active peptide to specifically contrast the Wilson disease form caused by the ATP7B-H1069Q mutant.
