Conformational alteration of DOCK5•ELMO1 signalosome on lipid membrane.
Article in Communications biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The DOCK protein family activates Rho small GTPases through guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) activity. DOCK is thought to exert its GEF activity at the plasma membrane. However, the mechanism by which DOCK activity on the plasma membrane is regulated remains unclear. Herein, we present a new conformation in which DOCK5, ELMO1, RhoG, and Rac1 are aligned on a plane and symmetrically flattened, as revealed by cryo-EM using a lipid membrane-coated grid. The major conformational change leading to this structure results from rotation of each DOCK5•ELMO1 hinge site through interactions with the membrane. Biochemical and cellular experiments indicate that conformational changes driven by acidic lipids are important for regulating the GEF activity of the DOCK5•ELMO1 complex on the plasma membrane and are essential for its downstream signalling. This approach also enables the analysis of large lipid-associated complexes, such as signalosomes, and will aid studies of membrane-dependent signalling assemblies.
