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

Proline- and arginine-rich peptide PR11 is an allosteric inhibitor of 20S proteasome. We modified its sequence inter alia by introducing HbYX, RYX, or RHbX C-terminal extensions (Hb, hydrophobic moiety; R, arginine; Y, tyrosine; X, any residue). Consequently, we were able to improve inhibitory potency or to convert inhibitors into strong activators: the former with an aromatic penultimate Hb residue and the latter with the HbYX motif. The PR peptide activator stimulated 20S proteasome in vitro to efficiently degrade protein substrates, such as α-synuclein and enolase, but also activated proteasome in cultured fibroblasts. The positive and negative PR modulators differently influenced the proteasome conformational dynamics and affected opening of the substrate entry pore. The resolved crystal structure showed PR inhibitor bound far from the active sites, at the proteasome outer face, in the pocket used by natural activators. Our studies indicate the opportunity to tune proteasome activity by allosteric regulators based on PR peptide scaffold.
