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 Saccharomyces cerevisiae REV3/7-encoded polymerase zeta and Rev1 are central to the replicative bypass of DNA lesions, a process called translesion synthesis (TLS). While yeast polymerase zeta extends from distorted DNA structures, Rev1 predominantly incorporates C residues from across a template G and a variety of DNA lesions. Intriguingly, Rev1 catalytic activity does not appear to be required for TLS. Instead, yeast Rev1 is thought to participate in TLS by facilitating protein-protein interactions via an N-terminal BRCT motif. In addition, higher eukaryotic homologs of Rev1 possess a C terminus that interacts with other TLS polymerases. Due to a lack of sequence similarity, the yeast Rev1 C-terminal region, located after the polymerase domain, had initially been thought not to play a role in TLS. Here, we report that elevated levels of the yeast Rev1 C terminus confer a strong dominant-negative effect on viability and induced mutagenesis after DNA damage, highlighting the crucial role that the C terminus plays in DNA damage tolerance. We show that this phenotype requires REV7 and, using immunoprecipitations from crude extracts, demonstrate that, in addition to the polymerase-associated domain, the extreme Rev1 C terminus and the BRCT region of Rev1 mediate interactions with Rev7.
