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 N-degron pathway is a proteolytic system in which a single N-terminal amino acid acts as a determinant of protein degradation. Especially, degradation signaling of N-terminal asparagine (Nt-Asn) in eukaryotes is initiated from its deamidation by N-terminal asparagine amidohydrolase 1 (NTAN1) into aspartate. Here, we have elucidated structural principles of deamidation by human NTAN1. NTAN1 adopts the characteristic scaffold of CNF1/YfiH-like cysteine hydrolases that features an α-β-β sandwich structure and a catalytic triad comprising Cys, His, and Ser. In vitro deamidation assays using model peptide substrates with varying lengths and sequences showed that NTAN1 prefers hydrophobic residues at the second-position. The structures of NTAN1-peptide complexes further revealed that the recognition of Nt-Asn is sufficiently organized to produce high specificity, and the side chain of the second-position residue is accommodated in a hydrophobic pocket adjacent to the active site of NTAN1. Collectively, our structural and biochemical analyses of the substrate specificity of NTAN1 contribute to understanding the structural basis of all three amidases in the eukaryotic N-degron pathway.
