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 CCAAT-binding factor (CBF) is an evolutionarily conserved multimeric transcriptional activator in eukaryotes. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the CCAAT-binding factor is composed of four subunits, termed Hap2p, Hap3p, Hap4p, and Hap5p. The Hap2p/Hap3p/Hap5p heterotrimer is the DNA-binding component of the complex that binds to the consensus 5'-CCAAT-3' sequence in the promoter of target genes. The Hap4p subunit contains the transcriptional activation domain necessary for stimulating transcription after interacting with Hap2p/Hap3p/Hap5p. In this report, we demonstrate that Hap2p, Hap3p, and Hap5p assemble via a one-step pathway requiring all three subunits simultaneously, as opposed to the mammalian CCAAT-binding factor which has been shown to assemble via a two-step pathway with CBF-A (Hap3p homolog) and CBF-C (Hap5p homolog) forming a stable dimer before CBF-B (Hap2p homolog) can interact. We have also found that the interaction of Hap4p with Hap2p/Hap3p/Hap5p requires DNA binding as a prerequisite. To further understand the protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions of this transcription factor, we identified the minimal domain of Hap4p necessary for interaction with the Hap2p/Hap3p/Hap5p-DNA complex, and we demonstrate that this domain is sufficient to complement the respiratory deficiency of a hap4Delta mutant and activate transcription when fused with the VP16 activation domain. These studies provide a further understanding of the assembly of the yeast CCAAT-binding factor at target promoters and raise a number of questions concerning the protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions of this multisubunit transcription factor.
