Protein degradation by human 20S proteasomes elucidates the interplay between peptide hydrolysis and splicing.
Article in Nature communications, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
If and how proteasomes catalyze not only peptide hydrolysis but also peptide splicing is an open question that has divided the scientific community. The debate has so far been based on immunopeptidomics, in vitro digestions of synthetic polypeptides as well as ex vivo and in vivo experiments, which could only indirectly describe proteasome-catalyzed peptide splicing of full-length proteins. Here we develop a workflow-and cognate software - to analyze proteasome-generated non-spliced and spliced peptides produced from entire proteins and apply it to in vitro digestions of 15 proteins, including well-known intrinsically disordered proteins such as human tau and α-Synuclein. The results confirm that 20S proteasomes produce a sizeable variety of cis-spliced peptides, whereas trans-spliced peptides are a minority. Both peptide hydrolysis and splicing produce peptides with well-defined characteristics, which hint toward an intricate regulation of both catalytic activities. At protein level, both non-spliced and spliced peptides are not randomly localized within protein sequences, but rather concentrated in hotspots of peptide products, in part driven by protein sequence motifs and proteasomal preferences. At sequence level, the different peptide sequence preference of peptide hydrolysis and peptide splicing suggests a competition between the two catalytic activities of 20S proteasomes during protein degradation.
