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

The ankyrin (ANK) SOCS box (ASB) family, encompassing ASB1-18, is the largest group of substrate receptors of cullin 5 Ring E3 ubiquitin ligase. Nonetheless, the mechanism of substrate recognition by ASB family proteins has remained largely elusive. Here we present the crystal structure of ASB7-Elongin B-Elongin C ternary complex bound to a conserved helical degron. ASB7 employs its ANK3-6 to form an extended groove, effectively interacting with the internal α-helix-degron through a network of side-chain-mediated electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. Our structural findings, combined with biochemical and cellular analyses, identify the key residues of the degron motif and ASB7 required for their recognition. This will facilitate the identification of additional physiological substrates of ASB7 by providing a defined degron motif for screening. Furthermore, the structural insights provide a basis for the rational design of compounds that can specifically target ASB7 by disrupting its interaction with its cognate degron.
