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

Among the features of protein kinase CK2, autophosphorylation at its beta-subunit(s) upon incubation with ATP/Mg++ was early detected as a rapid and stoichiometric event occurring through an intramolecular mechanism as judged from kinetic analyses. The autophosphorylation site was mapped to Ser2 and, to a lesser extent, Ser3 both fulfilling the CK2 consensus sequence (MSSSEEV). The crystal structure of the heterotetrameric holoenzyme, however, is not compatible with an intramolecular autophosphorylation of the N-terminal stretch of either of the two beta subunits. Here we show that efficient "intramolecular" autophosphorylation of the beta subunit is crucially dependent on the formation of oligomers composed by several holoenzyme heterotetrameric protomers. Increasing ionic strength of the incubation medium promoting dissociation of the supramolecular oligomers abrogates beta subunit autophosphorylation, although CK2 catalytic activity, as judged from the phosphorylation of exogenous substrates, is still quite evident. These findings, in conjunction with graphic modelization, support the view that CK2 autophosphorylation at its beta subunits takes place through an "intraoligomeric" mechanism where the beta subunits of a protomer are phosphorylated by the catalytic subunits of another adjacent protomer. It appears therefore that in vivo beta autophosphorylation is symptomatic of supramolecular CK2 oligomers.
