A UTP3-dependent nucleolar translocation pathway facilitates pre-rRNA 5'ETS processing.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 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 ribosome small subunit (SSU) is assembled by the SSU processome which contains approximately 70 non-ribosomal protein factors. Whilst the biochemical mechanisms of the SSU processome in 18S rRNA processing and maturation have been extensively studied, how SSU processome components enter the nucleolus has yet to be systematically investigated. Here, in examining the nucleolar localization of 50 human SSU processome components, we found that UTP3, together with another 24 proteins, enter the nucleolus autonomously. For the remaining 25 proteins we found that UTP3/SAS10 assists the nucleolar localization of five proteins (MPP10, UTP25, EMG1 and the two UTP-B components UTP12 and UTP13), likely through its interaction with nuclear importin α. This 'ferrying' function of UTP3 was then confirmed as conserved in the zebrafish. We also found that knockdown of human UTP3 impairs cleavage at the A0-site while loss-of-function of either utp3/sas10 or utp13/tbl3 in zebrafish causes the accumulation of aberrantly processed 5'ETS products, which highlights the crucial role of UTP3 in mediating 5'ETS processing. Mechanistically, we found that UTP3 facilitates the degradation of processed 5'ETS by recruiting the RNA exosome component EXOSC10 to the nucleolus. These findings lay the groundwork for studying the mechanism of cytoplasm-to-nucleolus trafficking of SSU processome components.
