Elf1 promotes transcription-coupled repair in yeast by using its C-terminal domain to bind TFIIH.
Article in Nature communications, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Transcription coupled-nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) removes DNA lesions that block RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription. A key step in TC-NER is the recruitment of the TFIIH complex, which initiates DNA unwinding and damage verification; however, the mechanism by which TFIIH is recruited during TC-NER, particularly in yeast, remains unclear. Here, we show that the C-terminal domain (CTD) of elongation factor-1 (Elf1) plays a critical role in TC-NER in yeast by binding TFIIH. Analysis of genome-wide repair of UV-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) using CPD-seq indicates that the Elf1 CTD in yeast is required for efficient TC-NER. We show that the Elf1 CTD binds to the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain of the p62 subunit of TFIIH in vitro, and identify a putative TFIIH-interaction region (TIR) in the Elf1 CTD that is important for PH binding and TC-NER. The Elf1 TIR shows functional, structural, and sequence similarities to a conserved TIR in the mammalian UV sensitivity syndrome A (UVSSA) protein, which recruits TFIIH during TC-NER in mammalian cells. These findings suggest that the Elf1 CTD acts as a functional counterpart to mammalian UVSSA in TC-NER by recruiting TFIIH in response to Pol II stalling at DNA lesions.
