Arginine shortage induces replication stress and confers genotoxic resistance by inhibiting histone H4 translation and promoting PCNA polyubiquitination.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 unique arginine dependencies of cancer cell proliferation and survival creates metabolic vulnerability. Here, we investigate the impact of extracellular arginine availability on DNA replication and genotoxic resistance. Using DNA combing assays, we find that when extracellular arginine is limited, cancer cells are arrested at S-phase and DNA replication forks slow or stall instantly until arginine is re-supplied. The translation of new histone H4 is arginine-dependent and impacts DNA replication and the expression of newly synthesized histone H4 is reduced in the avascular nutrient-poor breast cancer xenograft tumor cores. Furthermore, we demonstrate that increased PCNA occupancy and HLTF-catalyzed PCNA K63-linked polyubiquitination protects arginine-starved cells from hydroxyurea-induced, DNA2-catalyzed nascent strand degradation. Finally, arginine-deprived cancer cells are tolerant to genotoxic insults in a PCNA K63-linked polyubiquitination-dependent manner. Together, these findings reveal that extracellular arginine is the "linchpin" for nutrient-regulated DNA replication. Such information could be leveraged to expand current modalities or design new drug targets against cancer.
