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

In this review, we have summarized the information from a study on FKBP12 (FK506 binding protein 12 kDa) with a view to understand its drug-free, physiological roles in transcription of ribosomal protein gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. FKBP12 with peptidyl-prolylisomerase (PPIase) activity is widely conserved among many eukaryotes. FKBP12 is a primary target for the two structurally related drugs, FK506 and rapamycin. FKBP12 bound with FK506 or rapamycin inhibits calcineurin and target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1), respectively. The molecular mechanisms of the effect of FKBP12 in the presence of these drugs have been elucidated. Conversely, the physiological role of FKBP12 has been unclear, especially in yeast. Our study revealed that the deletion of FPR1 (FK506-sensitive prolinerotamase 1 gene), which encodes yeast FKBP12, induced severe growth defect synthetically with deletion of HMO1 (high mobility group family 1). HMO1 encodes an HMGB family protein involved in transcription of ribosomal component genes. Fpr1 was shown to bind specifically to the promoters of ribosomal protein genes (RPGs) dependent on Rap1 (repressor/activator binding protein 1). Importantly, Fpr1 and Hmo1 promote the binding of Fhl1/Ifh1 (forkhead-like 1/interacts with forkhead 1), key regulators of RPG transcription, to certain RPG promoters independently and/or cooperatively with each other. Taken together, we conclude that Fpr1 physiologically functions as transcription factor of RPGs in S. cerevisiae. To our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate that FKBP12 participates in ribosome synthesis independently of drugs, and it may also provide a clue to the unidentified function of other PPIase proteins.
