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

The fidelity of assembly of multiprotein complexes is essential for the formation of stable and functional protein complexes that are critical for cell growth and survival. In this context, TBP-associated factor (TAF) subunits maintain tight specificity for their integration into TFIID and SAGA complexes. In this work, using affinity purification-coupled mass spectrometry of epitope-tagged TFIID subunits TBP and TAF11, and the SAGA subunit TAF12L we identified components of the Candida albicans TFIID and SAGA complexes. Whereas TAF12 is a subunit of TFIID, the paralogous TAF12L is a subunit of the SAGA complex, and we further identified each of the TFIID and SAGA complex subunits with high confidence. We found that the steady-state levels of the histone fold domain containing pairs, TAF12-TAF4 and TAF12L-Ada1 proteins, are mutually dependent on the stable expression of each other. Using RNA immunoprecipitation from polysome-containing extracts, we found that nascent TAF4 and Ada1 proteins interact with TAF12 and TAF12L, respectively, by a cotranslational mechanism in an ordered, sequential mode of assembly. Our results further revealed that the intrinsic position of the histone fold domain within the protein sequence is crucial for determining the sequence and directionality of cotranslational assembly, ensuring both selectivity and stability of the histone fold domain containing heterodimeric proteins in the fungal pathogen C. albicans.
