Adaptor-mediated interaction between Kv1.3 and Nedd4-2 E3 ubiquitin ligase.
Article in Communications biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The voltage-gated potassium channel Kv1.3 is crucial for immune responses. During proinflammatory stimulation, Kv1.3 is upregulated, enhancing Ca²⁺ signaling and leukocyte activation. To prevent prolonged lymphocyte activity, excess Kv1.3 must be removed from the plasma membrane, as elevated levels are linked to chronic inflammation. The ubiquitin E3 ligase Nedd4-2 is a key negative regulator that promotes Kv1.3 degradation through ubiquitination and lysosomal targeting. Because Kv1.3 lacks canonical PY motifs required for Nedd4-2 binding, adaptor proteins are necessary. Our findings show that Ndfip1 and specific 14-3-3 proteins facilitate the Nedd4-2-Kv1.3 interaction. Following PKC activation, a rapid, transient association between Kv1.3 and Nedd4-2 occurs near the membrane, initiating ubiquitination, vesicular internalization, and lysosomal degradation. This work identifies Nedd4-2 adaptors that mediate Kv1.3 regulation, highlighting Ndfip1 as a key factor while the roles of individual 14-3-3 isoforms remain to be clarified.
