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

Cellular responses to amino acid fluctuations often hinge on ubiquitin-mediated control of metabolic enzymes, yet the underlying E3 ligase pathways remain poorly defined. Using quantitative proteomics and active cullin-RING ligase (CRL) profiling, we identify LRRC58 as a cysteine-responsive substrate receptor whose stability increases sharply under cysteine starvation. Proteomics reveals an inverse relationship between LRRC58 and the metabolic enzyme cysteine dioxygenase 1 (CDO1), suggesting a cysteine-linked regulatory axis. Biochemical reconstitution and cryo-EM structures show that LRRC58 forms an active CUL2- or CUL5-based CRL that selectively positions CDO1 for ubiquitylation at Lys8. Disease mutant versions of CDO1 mapping to the LRRC58 interface and impaired for the endogenous ubiquitylation pathway were degraded through orthogonal targeting by a VHL-based degrader. Together, our proteomics-guided discovery pipeline, cellular stability studies, and structural analyses uncover a metabolically-tuned LRRC58-CDO1 pathway that links cysteine availability to selective proteasomal turnover, reveals principles of metabolite-regulated CRL activity, and showcases mechanisms distinguishing endogenous and targeted protein degradation.
