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

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are cellular master regulators that translate extracellular stimuli such as light, small molecules or peptides into a cellular response. Upon ligand binding, they bind intracellular proteins such as G proteins or arrestins, modulating intracellular signaling cascades. Here, we use a protein-fragment complementation approach based on nanoluciferase (split luciferase assay) to assess interaction of all four known human arrestins with four different GPCRs (two class A and two class B receptors) in live cells. Besides directly tagging the 11S split-luciferase subunit to the receptor, we also could demonstrate that membrane localization of the 11S subunit with a CAAX-tag allowed us to probe arrestin recruitment by endogenously expressed GPCRs. Varying the expression levels of our reporter constructs changed the dynamic behavior of our assay, which we addressed with an advanced baculovirus-based multigene expression system. Our detection assay allowed us to probe the relevance of each of the two arrestin binding sites in the different GPCRs for arrestin binding. We observed remarkable differences between the roles of each arresting binding site in the tested GPCRs and propose that the distinct advantages of our system for probing receptor interaction with effector proteins will help elucidate the molecular basis of GPCR signaling efficacy and specificity in different cell types.
