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

As ribosomes translate the genetic code, they can encounter a variety of obstacles that hinder their progress. If ribosomes stall for prolonged times, cells suffer due to the loss of translating ribosomes and the accumulation of aberrant protein products. Thus to protect cells, stalled ribosomes experience a series of reactions to relieve the stall and degrade the offending mRNA, a process known as No-Go mRNA Decay (NGD). While much of the machinery for NGD is known, the precise ordering of events and factors along this pathway has not been tested. Here, we deploy C. elegans to unravel the coordinated events comprising NGD. Utilizing a novel reporter and forward and reverse genetics, we identify the machinery required for NGD. Our subsequent molecular analyses define a functional requirement for ubiquitination on at least two ribosomal proteins (eS10 and uS10), and we show that ribosomes lacking ubiquitination sites on eS10 and uS10 fail to perform NGD in vivo. We show that the nuclease NONU-1 acts after the ubiquitin ligase ZNF-598, and discover a novel requirement for the ribosome rescue factors HBS-1/PELO-1 in mRNA decay via NONU-1. Taken together, our work demonstrates mechanisms by which ribosomes signal to effectors of mRNA repression, and we delineate links between repressive factors working toward a well-defined NGD pathway.
