FAT10 inhibits TRIM21 to down-regulate antiviral type-I interferon secretion.
Article in Life science alliance, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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 ubiquitin-like modifier FAT10 is upregulated under pro-inflammatory conditions, targets its substrates for proteasomal degradation and functions as a negative regulator of the type-I IFN response. Influenza A virus infection upregulates the production of type-I IFN and the expression of the E3 ligase TRIM21, which regulates type-I IFN production in a positive feedback manner. In this study, we show that FAT10 becomes covalently conjugated to TRIM21 and that this targets TRIM21 for proteasomal degradation. We further show that the coiled-coil and PRYSPRY domains of TRIM21 and the C-terminal diglycine motif of FAT10 are important for the TRIM21-FAT10 interaction. Moreover, upon influenza A virus infection and in the presence of FAT10 the total ubiquitination of TRIM21 is reduced and our data reveal that the FAT10-mediated degradation of TRIM21 diminishes IFNβ production. Overall, this study provides strong evidence that FAT10 down-regulates the antiviral type-I IFN production by modulating additional molecules of the RIG-I signaling pathway besides the already published OTUB1. In addition, we elucidate a novel mechanism of FAT10-mediated proteasomal degradation of TRIM21 that regulates its stability.
