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

Dysregulation of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) commonly leads to disease. PPI stabilization has only recently been systematically explored for drug discovery despite being a powerful approach to selectively target intrinsically disordered proteins and hub proteins, like 14-3-3, with multiple interaction partners. Disulfide tethering is a site-directed fragment-based drug discovery (FBDD) methodology for identifying reversibly covalent small molecules. We explored the scope of disulfide tethering for the discovery of selective PPI stabilizers (molecular glues) using the hub protein 14-3-3σ. We screened complexes of 14-3-3 with 5 biologically and structurally diverse phosphopeptides derived from the 14-3-3 client proteins ERα, FOXO1, C-RAF, USP8, and SOS1. Stabilizing fragments were found for 4/5 client complexes. Structural elucidation of these complexes revealed the ability of some peptides to conformationally adapt to make productive interactions with the tethered fragments. We validated eight fragment stabilizers, six of which showed selectivity for one phosphopeptide client, and structurally characterized two nonselective hits and four fragments that selectively stabilized C-RAF or FOXO1. The most efficacious fragment increased 14-3-3σ/C-RAF phosphopeptide affinity by 430-fold. Disulfide tethering to the wildtype C38 in 14-3-3σ provided diverse structures for future optimization of 14-3-3/client stabilizers and highlighted a systematic method to discover molecular glues.
