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

Histone deacetylase 1 and 2 (HDAC1/2) regulate histone acetylation as catalytic and structural components of six unique multiprotein complex families: SIN3, NuRD, CoREST, MIDAC, MIER, and RERE. Co-immunoprecipitation of HDAC1-Flag followed by mass spectrometry revealed that 92% of HDAC1 in mouse embryonic stem cells resides in three complexes, NuRD (49%), CoREST (28%), and SIN3 (15%). We compared the structures of MTA1:HDAC1 and MIDEAS:HDAC1 to identify critical binding residues on the surface of HDAC1. Surprisingly, a single mutation, Y48E, disrupts binding to all complexes except SIN3. Rescue experiments performed with HDAC1-Y48E in HDAC1/2 double-knockout cells showed that retention of SIN3 binding alone is sufficient for cell viability. Gene expression and histone acetylation patterns were perturbed in both Y48E and a second mutant cell line, HDAC1-E63R, indicating that cells require a full repertoire of the HDAC1/2 complexes to regulate their transcriptome appropriately. Comparative analysis of MTA1/HDAC1 and SIN3B/HDAC2 structures confirmed the differential modes of HDAC1 recruitment, with Y48 interacting with ELM2/SANT domain-containing proteins, but not SIN3. The E63R mutation shows markedly reduced binding to NuRD and MiDAC complexes but retains some CoREST binding. We provide novel molecular insights into the abundance, co-factors and assemblies of this crucial family of chromatin modifying machines.
