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

Histone arginine methylation is a prevalent posttranslational modification (PTM) in eukaryotic cells and contributes to the histone codes for epigenetic regulation of gene transcription. In this study, we determined how local changes on adjacent residues in the histone H4 substrate regulate arginine asymmetric dimethylation and symmetric dimethylation catalysed by the major protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT) enzymes PRMT1 and PRMT5, respectively. We found that phosphorylation at histone H4 Ser-1 site (H4S1) was inhibitory to activities of PRMT1 and PRMT5 in both monomethylating and dimethylating H4R3. Also, a positively charged H4K5 was important for PRMT1 catalysis because acetylation of H4K5 or the loss of the H4K5 ε-amine had a similar effect in reducing the catalytic efficiency of asymmetric dimethylation of H4R3. An opposite effect was observed in that acetylation of H4K5 or the loss of the H4K5 ε-amine enhanced PRMT5-mediated symmetric dimethylation of H4R3. Furthermore, we observed that N-terminal acetylation of H4 modestly decreased asymmetric dimethylation of H4R3 by PRMT1 and symmetric dimethylation of H4R3 by PRMT5. This work highlights the significance of local chemical changes in the substrate to regulating PRMT activity and unravels the pattern complexities and subtleties of histone codes.
