Abstract

Deadenylate or activate?: When cells are quiescent, they undergo reversible cell cycle arrest and evince low basal metabolism. Naïve T cells are normally quiescent until they recognize cognate antigens through T cell receptor–costimulatory molecule signaling. T cell quiescence appears to be an active process, but the mechanistic details are poorly understood. Hwang et al. report that the transcription factors BTG1 and BTG2 are selectively expressed in quiescent T cells. In mice, T cells conditionally knocked out for both factors showed enhanced proliferation and a lowered threshold of activation both in vitro and in response to Listeria monocytogenes infection. Deficiency of BTG1 and BTG2 resulted in increases in global messenger RNA half-life, suggesting that messenger RNA deadenylation and degradation are important processes for maintaining T cell quiescence.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
