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

DNA polymerase (pol) ε is thought to be the leading strand replicase in eukaryotes, whereas pols λ and β are believed to be mainly involved in re-synthesis steps of DNA repair. DNA elongation by the human pol ε is halted by an abasic site (apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site). In this study, we present in vitro evidence that human pols λ, β, and η can perform translesion synthesis (TLS) of an AP site in the presence of pol ε, likely by initiating the 3'OHs created at the lesion by the arrested pol ε. However, in the case of pols λ and β, this TLS requires the presence of a DNA gap downstream from the product synthesized by the pol ε, and the optimal gap for efficient TLS is different for the two polymerases. The presence of gaps did not affect the TLS capacity of human pol η. Characterization of the reaction products showed that pol β inserted dAMP opposite the AP site, whereas gap filling synthesis by pol λ resulted in single or double deletions opposite the lesion. The synthesis up to the AP site by pol ε and the subsequent TLS by pols λ and β are not influenced by human processivity factor proliferating cell nuclear antigen and human single-stranded DNA-binding protein replication protein A. The bypass capacity of pol λ at the AP site is greatly reduced when a truncated form of the enzyme, which has lost the BRCA1 C-terminal and proline-rich domains, is used. Collectively, our in vitro results support the existence of a mechanism of gap-directed TLS at an AP site involving a switch between the replicative pol ε and the repair pols λ and β.
