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

While protein ubiquitination was long believed to be a truly eukaryotic feature, recently sequenced genomes revealed complete ubiquitin (Ub) modification operons in archaea. Here, we present the structural and mechanistic characterization of an archaeal Rpn11 deubiquitinase from Caldiarchaeum subterraneum, CsRpn11, and its role in the processing of CsUb precursor and ubiquitinated proteins. CsRpn11 activity is affected by the catalytic metal ion type, small molecule inhibitors, sequence characteristics at the cleavage site, and the folding state of CsUb-conjugated proteins. Comparison of CsRpn11 and CsRpn11-CsUb crystal structures reveals a crucial conformational switch in the CsRpn11 Ins-1 site, which positions CsUb for catalysis. The presence of this transition in a primordial soluble Rpn11 thus predates the evolution of eukaryotic Rpn11 immobilized in the proteasomal lid. Complementing phylogenetic studies, which designate CsRpn11 and CsUb as close homologs of the respective eukaryotic proteins, our results provide experimental support for an archaeal origin of protein ubiquitination.
