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

Faithful chromosome segregation is essential for both mitotic and meiotic cell division. The anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) and its coactivators are required for meiotic chromosome segregation, but their potential targets and regulatory mechanisms remain unclear in plants. Here, we performed a ubiquitinome analysis and show that Arabidopsis thaliana Aurora 1 (AUR1) is over-ubiquitinated at lysine 102 in the coactivator Cell Division Cycle 20.1 (cdc20.1) mutants and that AUR1 overexpression can partially rescue the cdc20.1 meiotic defect. We also demonstrate that APC/C ubiquitinates AUR1, leading to its degradation through the 26S proteasome pathway. Moreover, the APC/C subunit and coactivators Cell Cycle Switch 52 A2/B (CCS52A2/B) and CDC20.1 interact with AUR1 both in vitro and in vivo. Intriguingly, CCS52A2/B promotes AUR1 ubiquitination and degradation, while CDC20.1 prevents AUR1 degradation. Consistent with this finding, AUR1 levels are lower in cdc20.1 and higher in ccs52 mutants relative to Col-0, and mutation of CCS52A2/B causes defects in meiotic spindle assembly and homologous chromosome segregation. Genetic analyses demonstrate that Arabidopsis anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome subunit 8 (APC8), CDC20.1, CCS52 and AUR1 act in the same pathway to control meiotic spindle assembly and homologous chromosome segregation. Thus, this work provides mechanistic insight into the role of APC/C coactivators in regulating AUR1 homeostasis during meiosis in plants.
