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 ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is responsible for the bulk of protein degradation in eukaryotic cells, but the factors that cause different substrates to be unfolded and degraded to different extents are still poorly understood. We previously showed that polyubiquitinated substrates were degraded with greater processivity (with a higher tendency to be unfolded and degraded than released) than ubiquitin-independent substrates. Thus, even though ubiquitin chains are removed before unfolding and degradation occur, they affect the unfolding of a protein domain. How do ubiquitin chains activate the proteasome's unfolding ability? We investigated the roles of the three intrinsic proteasomal ubiquitin receptors - Rpn1, Rpn10 and Rpn13 - in this activation. We find that these receptors are required for substrate-mediated activation of the proteasome's unfolding ability. Rpn13 plays the largest role, but there is also partial redundancy between receptors. The architecture of substrate ubiquitination determines which receptors are needed for maximal unfolding ability, and, in some cases, simultaneous engagement of ubiquitin by multiple receptors may be required. Our results suggest physical models for how ubiquitin receptors communicate with the proteasomal motor proteins.
