Ribosomal Frameshifting Selectively Modulates the Assembly, Function, and Pharmacological Rescue of a Misfolded CFTR Variant.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 cotranslational misfolding of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator chloride channel (CFTR) plays a central role in the molecular basis of cystic fibrosis (CF). The misfolding of the most common CF variant (ΔF508) remodels both the translational regulation and quality control of CFTR. Nevertheless, it is unclear how the misassembly of the nascent polypeptide may directly influence the activity of the translation machinery. In this work, we identify a structural motif within the CFTR transcript that stimulates efficient -1 ribosomal frameshifting and triggers the premature termination of translation. Though this motif does not appear to impact the interactome of wild-type CFTR, silent mutations that disrupt this RNA structure alter the association of nascent ΔF508 CFTR with numerous translation and quality control proteins. Moreover, disrupting this RNA structure enhances the functional gating of the ΔF508 CFTR channel at the plasma membrane and its pharmacological rescue by the CFTR modulators contained in the CF drug Trikafta. The effects of the RNA structure on ΔF508 CFTR appear to be attenuated in the absence of the ER membrane protein complex (EMC), which was previously found to modulate ribosome collisions during "preemptive quality control" of a misfolded CFTR homolog. Together, our results reveal that ribosomal frameshifting selectively modulates the assembly, function, and pharmacological rescue of a misfolded CFTR variant. These findings suggest interactions between the nascent chain, quality control machinery, and ribosome may dynamically modulate ribosomal frameshifting in order to tune the processivity of translation in response to cotranslational misfolding.
