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

SecB, a small tetrameric cytosolic chaperone in Escherichia coli, facilitates the export of precursor poly-peptides by maintaining them in a nonnative conformation and passing them to SecA, which is a peripheral member of the membrane-bound translocation apparatus. It has been proposed by several laboratories that as SecA interacts with various components along the export pathway, it undergoes conformational changes that are crucial to its function. Here we report details of molecular interactions between SecA and SecB, which may serve as conformational switches. One site of interaction involves the final C-terminal 21 amino acids of SecA, which are positively charged and contain zinc. The C terminus of each subunit of the SecA dimer makes contact with the flat beta-sheet that is formed by each dimer of the SecB tetramer. Here we demonstrate that a second interaction exists between the extreme C-terminal alpha-helix of SecB and a site on SecA, as yet undefined but different from the C terminus of SecA. We investigated the energetics of the interactions by titration calorimetry and characterized the hydrodynamic properties of complexes stabilized by both interactions or each interaction singly using sedimentation velocity centrifugation.
