Hydroxylation of HPPD facilitates its PUB11-mediated ubiquitination and degradation in response to oxidative stress in Arabidopsis.

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
4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) is critical for plant photosynthesis and essential for enhancing tolerance to oxidative stress. However, the precise mechanisms by which plants regulate HPPD in response to oxidative stress remain largely unknown. Here, we show that Arabidopsis thaliana HPPD (AtHPPD) undergoes a previously uncharacterized post-translational modification-phenylalanine hydroxylation-in response to excessive hydroxyl radicals (·OH), thereby mediating oxidative stress tolerance. Biochemical analyses revealed that this hydroxylation impairs the normal function of AtHPPD, accelerating its degradation. We further identified PUB11 as a key interactor of AtHPPD. Both in vitro and in vivo assays demonstrated that this interaction is enhanced under oxidative stress, promoting ubiquitination and facilitating rapid AtHPPD degradation via the 26S proteasome to maintain reactive oxygen species homeostasis. Overall, this work uncovers a novel mechanism by which plants balance photosynthetic efficiency with the repair of oxidative damage, identifies key processes in oxidative stress regulation, and provides a foundation for breeding crops with improved resilience to abiotic stress.
