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

For catalysis by bacterial type B RNase P, the importance of a specific interaction with p(recursor)tRNA 3'-CCA termini is yet unclear. We show that mutation of one of the two G residues assumed to interact with 3'-CCA in type B RNase P RNAs inhibits cell growth, but cell viability is at least partially restored at increased RNase P levels due to RNase P protein overexpression. The in vivo defects of the mutant enzymes correlated with an enzyme defect at low Mg(2+) in vitro. For Bacillus subtilis RNase P, an isosteric C259-G(74) bp fully and a C258-G(75) bp slightly rescued catalytic proficiency, demonstrating Watson-Crick base pairing to tRNA 3'-CCA but also emphasizing the importance of the base identity of the 5'-proximal G residue (G258). We infer the defect of the mutant enzymes to primarily lie in the recruitment of catalytically relevant Mg(2+), with a possible contribution from altered RNA folding. Although with reduced efficiency, B. subtilis RNase P is able to cleave CCA-less ptRNAs in vitro and in vivo. We conclude that the observed in vivo defects upon disruption of the CCA interaction are either due to a global deceleration in ptRNA maturation or severe inhibition of 5'-maturation for a ptRNA subset.
