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

The ATPase activity of the ABC (ATP-binding cassette) ATPase domain of the HlyB (haemolysin B) transporter is required for secretion of Escherichia coli haemolysin via the type I pathway. Although ABC transporters are generally presumed to function as dimers, the precise role of dimerization remains unclear. In the present study, we have analysed the HlyB ABC domain, purified separately from the membrane domain, with respect to its activity and capacity to form physically detectable dimers. The ATPase activity of the isolated ABC domain clearly demonstrated positive co-operativity, with a Hill coefficient of 1.7. Furthermore, the activity is (reversibly) inhibited by salt concentrations in the physiological range accompanied by proportionately decreased binding of 8-azido-ATP. Inhibition of activity with increasing salt concentration resulted in a change in flexibility as detected by intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence. Finally, ATPase activity was sensitive towards orthovanadate, with an IC50 of 16 microM, consistent with the presence of transient dimers during ATP hydrolysis. Nevertheless, over a wide range of protein or of NaCl or KCl concentrations, the ABC ATPase was only detected as a monomer, as measured by ultracentrifugation or gel filtration. In contrast, in the absence of salt, the sedimentation velocity determined by analytical ultracentrifugation suggested a rapid equilibrium between monomers and dimers. Small amounts of dimers, but apparently only when stabilized by 8-azido-ATP, were also detected by gel filtration, even in the presence of salt. These data are consistent with the fact that monomers can interact at least transiently and are the important species during ATP hydrolysis.
