Correlating Disordered Activation Domain Ensembles with Gene Expression Levels.
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
Transcription factor proteins bind to specific DNA promoter sequences and initiate gene transcription. In eukaryotes, most transcription factors contain intrinsically disordered activation domains (ADs) that regulate their transcriptional activity. Like other disordered protein regions, ADs do not have a fixed three-dimensional structure and instead exist in an ensemble of conformations. Disordered ensembles contain sequence-encoded structural preferences which are often linked to their function. We hypothesize this link exists between the structural preferences of disordered AD ensembles and their ability to induce gene expression. To test this, we used FRET microscopy to measure the ensemble dimensions of two activation domains, HIF-1α and CITED2, in live cells, and correlate this structural information with transcriptional activity. We find that point mutations that expanded the HIF-1α ensemble increased transcriptional activity, while those that compacted it reduced activity. Conversely, CITED2 showed no correlation between ensemble dimensions and activity. Our results reveal a sequence-dependent relationship between AD ensemble dimensions and their transcriptional activity.
