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

Processing, packaging, and nuclear export of messenger ribonucleoprotein particles (mRNPs) are critical for eukaryotic gene expression, with the DEAD-box ATPase DDX39B (yeast Sub2) playing a central role in mRNP processing and remodeling. Our recent studies identified human TREX-2 (GANP•PCID2•DSS1), yeast TREX-2 (Sac3•Thp1•Sem1), and a related human TREX-2.1 complex (LENG8•PCID2•DSS1) as key regulators of DDX39B/Sub2. Here, we characterize the yeast TREX-2.1 (scTREX-2.1) complex, composed of Thp3, Csn12, and Sem1. We show that the scTREX-2.1 complex directly interacts with Sub2 and co-occupies a fraction of CBC-containing mRNPs with Sub2. Using cryo-electron microscopy , we determined the structure of scTREX-2.1 bound to Sub2, revealing a conserved "trigger loop" mechanism by which scTREX-2.1 regulates Sub2 activity. Functional assays show that disruption of scTREX-2.1 leads to the accumulation of intron-containing pre-mRNAs. These findings uncover a conserved mechanism from yeast to humans by which TREX-2 and TREX-2.1 complexes regulate Sub2/DDX39B during nuclear mRNP maturation, providing insights into the coordination of mRNP remodeling and processing prior to nuclear export.
