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

Doa10 (MARCHF6 in metazoans) is a large polytopic membrane-embedded E3 ubiquitin ligase in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that plays an important role in quality control of cytosolic and ER proteins. Although Doa10 is highly conserved across eukaryotes, it is not understood how Doa10 recognizes its substrates. Here, we define the substrate recognition mechanism of Doa10 by structural and functional analyses on Saccharomyces cerevisiae Doa10 and its model substrates. Cryo-EM analysis shows that Doa10 has unusual architecture with a large lipid-filled central cavity, and its conserved middle domain forms an additional water-filled lateral tunnel open to the cytosol. Our biochemical data and molecular dynamics simulations suggest that the entrance of the substrate's degron peptide into the lateral tunnel is required for efficient polyubiquitination. The N- and C-terminal membrane domains of Doa10 seem to form fence-like features to restrict polyubiquitination to those proteins that can access the central cavity and lateral tunnel. Our study reveals how extended hydrophobic sequences at the termini of substrate proteins are recognized by Doa10 as a signal for quality control.
