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

The 26S proteasome is critical for the selective degradation of proteins in eukaryotic cells. This enzyme complex is composed of approximately 70 subunits, including the structurally homologous proteins α1-α7, which combine to form heptameric rings. The correct arrangement of these α subunits is essential for the function of the proteasome, but their assembly does not occur autonomously. Assembly of the α subunit is assisted by several chaperones, including the PAC3-PAC4 heterodimer. In this study we showed that the PAC3-PAC4 heterodimer functions as a molecular matchmaker, stabilizing the α4-α5-α6 subcomplex during the assembly of the α-ring. We solved a 0.96-Å atomic resolution crystal structure for a PAC3 homodimer which, in conjunction with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data, highlighted the mobility of the loop comprised of residues 51 to 61. Based on these structural and dynamic data, we created a three-dimensional model of the PAC3-4/α4/α5/α6 quintet complex, and used this model to investigate the molecular and structural basis of the mechanism of proteasome α subunit assembly, as mediated by the PAC3-PAC4 heterodimeric chaperone. Our results provide a potential basis for the development of selective inhibitors against proteasome biogenesis.
