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

For years, proteasomal degradation was predominantly attributed to the ubiquitin-26S proteasome pathway. However, it is now evident that the core 20S proteasome can independently target proteins for degradation. With approximately half of the cellular proteasomes comprising free 20S complexes, this degradation mechanism is not rare. Identifying 20S-specific substrates is challenging due to the dual-targeting of some proteins to either 20S or 26S proteasomes and the non-specificity of proteasome inhibitors. Consequently, knowledge of 20S proteasome substrates relies on limited hypothesis-driven studies. To comprehensively explore 20S proteasome substrates, we employed advanced mass spectrometry, along with biochemical and cellular analyses. This systematic approach revealed hundreds of 20S proteasome substrates, including proteins undergoing specific N- or C-terminal cleavage, possibly for regulation. Notably, these substrates were enriched in RNA- and DNA-binding proteins with intrinsically disordered regions, often found in the nucleus and stress granules. Under cellular stress, we observed reduced proteolytic activity in oxidized proteasomes, with oxidized protein substrates exhibiting higher structural disorder compared to unmodified proteins. Overall, our study illuminates the nature of 20S substrates, offering crucial insights into 20S proteasome biology.
