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

Protein ubiquitination is a post-translation modification mediated by E3 ubiquitin ligases. The RING domain E3 ligases are the largest family of E3 ubiquitin ligases, they act as a scaffold, bringing the E2-ubiquitin complex and its substrate together to facilitate direct ubiquitin transfer. However, the quaternary structures of RING E3 ligases that perform ubiquitin transfer remain poorly understood. In this study, we solved the crystal structure of TRIM56, a member of the RING E3 ligase. The structure of the coiled-coil domain indicated that the two anti-parallel dimers bound together to form a tetramer at a small crossing angle. This tetramer structure allows two RING domains to exist on each side to form an active homodimer in supporting ubiquitin transfer from E2 to its nearby substrate recruited by the C-terminal domains on the same side. These findings suggest that the coiled-coil domain-mediated tetramer is a feasible scaffold for facilitating the recruitment and transfer of ubiquitin to accomplish E3 ligase activity.
