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

Prokaryotic DNA repair nucleases are useful reagents for detecting DNA lesions. UvrABC endonuclease, encoded by the UvrA, UvrB, and UvrC genes can incise DNA containing bulky nucleotide adducts and intrastrand cross-links. UvrA, UvrB, and UvrC were cloned from Bacillus caldotenax (Bca)and UvrC from Thermatoga maritima (Tma), and recombinant proteins were overexpressed in and purified from Escherichia coli. Incision activities of UvrABC composed of all Bca-derived subunits (UvrABC(Bca)) and an interspecies combination UvrABC composed of Bca-derived UvrA and UvrB and Tma-derived UvrC (UvrABC(Tma)) were compared on benoz[a]pyrene-7,8-dihyrodiol-9,10-epoxide (BPDE)-adducted substrates. Both UvrABC(Bca) and UvrABC(Tma) specifically incised both BPDE-adducted plasmid DNAs and site-specifically modified 50-bp oligonucleotides containing a single (+)-trans- or (+)-cis-BPDE adduct. Incision activity was maximal at 55-60 degrees C. However, UvrABC(Tma) was more robust than UvrABC(Bca) with 4-fold greater incision activity on BPDE-adducted oligonucleotides and 1.5-fold greater on [(3)H]BPDE-adducted plasmid DNAs. Remarkably, UvrABC(Bca) incised only at the eighth phosphodiester bond 5' to the BPDE-modified guanosine. In contrast, UvrABC(Tma) performed dual incision, cutting at both the fifth phosphodiester bond 3' and eighth phosphodiester bond 5' from BPDE-modified guanosine. BPDE adduct stereochemistry influenced incision activity, and cis adducts on oligonucleotide substrates were incised more efficiently than trans adducts by both UvrABC(Bca) and UvrABC(Tma). UvrAB-DNA complex formation was similar with (+)-trans- and (+)-cis-BPDE-adducted substrates, suggesting that UvrAB binds both adducts equally and that adduct configuration modifies UvrC recognition of the UvrAB-DNA complex. The dual incision capabilities and higher incision activity of UvrABC(Tma) make it a robust tool for DNA adduct studies.
