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

Cdc7 is a serine/threonine kinase conserved from yeasts to human and is known to play a key role in the regulation of initiation at each replication origin. Its catalytic function is activated via association with the activation subunit Dbf4/activator of S phase kinase (ASK). It is known that two conserved motifs of Dbf4/ASK are involved in binding to Cdc7, and both are required for maximum activation of Cdc7 kinase. Cdc7 kinases possess unique kinase insert sequences (kinase insert I-III) that are inserted at defined locations among the conserved kinase domains. However, precise mechanisms of Cdc7 kinase activation are largely unknown. We have identified two segments on Cdc7, DAM-1 (Dbf4/ASK interacting motif-1; amino acids 448-457 near the N terminus of kinase insert III) and DAM-2 (C-terminal 10-amino acid segment), that interact with motif-M and motif-C of ASK, respectively, and are essential for kinase activation by ASK. The C-terminal 143-amino acid polypeptide (432-574) containing DAM-1 and DAM-2 can interact with Dbf4/ASK. Characterization of the purified ASK-free Cdc7 and Cdc7-ASK complex shows that ATP binding of the Cdc7 catalytic subunit requires Dbf4/ASK. However, the "minimum" Cdc7, lacking the entire kinase insert II and half of kinase insert III, binds to ATP and shows autophosphorylation activity in the absence of ASK. However, ASK is still required for phosphorylation of exogenous substrates by the minimum Cdc7. These results indicate bipartite interaction between Cdc7 and Dbf4/ASK subunits facilitates ATP binding and substrate recognition by the Cdc7 kinase.
