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

Saccharomyces cerevisiae MPH1 was first identified as a gene encoding a 3' to 5' DNA helicase, which when deleted leads to a mutator phenotype. In this study, we isolated MPH1 as a multicopy suppressor of the dna2K1080E helicase-negative lethal mutant. Purified Mph1 stimulated the endonuclease activities of both Fen1 and Dna2, which act faithfully in the processing of Okazaki fragments. This stimulation required neither ATP hydrolysis nor the helicase activity of Mph1. Multicopy expression of MPH1 also suppressed the temperature-sensitive growth defects in cells expressing dna2Delta405N, which lacks the N-terminal 405 amino acids of Dna2. However, Mph1 did not stimulate the endonuclease activity of the Dna2Delta405N mutant protein. The stimulation of Fen1 by Mph1 was limited to flap-structured substrates; Mph1 hardly stimulated the 5' to 3' exonuclease activity of Fen1. Mph1 binds to flap-structured substrate more efficiently than to nicked duplex structures, suggesting that the stimulatory effect of Mph1 is exerted through its binding to DNA substrates. In addition, we found that Mph1 reversed the inhibitory effects of replication protein A on Fen1 activity. Our biochemical and genetic data indicate that the in vivo suppression of Dna2 defects observed with both dna2K1080E and dna2Delta405N mutants occur via stimulation of Fen1 activity. These findings suggest that Mph1 plays an important, although not essential, role in processing of Okazaki fragments by facilitating the formation of ligatable nicks.
