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

Four groups of plant homeodomain proteins contain a dimerization motif closely linked to the homeodomain. We here show that two sunflower homeodomain proteins, Hahb-4 and HAHR1, which belong to the Hd-Zip I and GL2/Hd-Zip IV groups, respectively, show different binding preferences at a defined position of a pseudopalindromic DNA-binding site used as a target. HAHR1 shows a preference for the sequence 5'-CATT(A/T)AATG-3', rather than 5'-CAAT(A/T)ATTG-3', recognized by Hahb-4. To analyze the molecular basis of this behavior, we have constructed a set of mutants with exchanged residues (Phe-->Ile and Ile-->Phe) at position 47 of the homeodomain, together with chimeric proteins between HAHR1 and Hahb-4. The results obtained indicate that Phe47, but not Ile47, allows binding to 5'-CATT(A/T)AATG-3'. However, the preference for this sequence is determined, in addition, by amino acids located C-terminal to residue 53 of the HAHR1 homeodomain. A double mutant of Hahb-4 (Ile47-->Phe/Ala54-->Thr) shows the same binding behavior as HAHR1, suggesting that combinatorial interactions of amino acid residues at positions 47 and 54 of the homeodomain are involved in establishing the affinity and selectivity of plant dimeric homeodomain proteins with different DNA target sequences.
