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

Calmodulin (CaM) is the universal calcium sensor in eukaryotes, regulating the function of numerous proteins. Crystallography and NMR show that free CaM-4Ca(2+) exists in an extended conformation with significant interdomain separation, but clamps down upon target peptides to form a highly compact structure. NMR has revealed substantial interdomain motions in CaM-4Ca(2+), enabled by a flexible linker. In one instance, CaM-4Ca(2+) has been crystallized in a compact configuration; however, no direct evidence for transient interdomain contacts has been observed in solution, and little is known about how large-scale interdomain motions contribute to biological function. Here, we use paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE) to characterize transient compact states of free CaM that are too sparsely populated to observe by traditional NMR methods. We show that unbound CaM samples a range of compact structures, populated at 5-10%, and that Ca(2+) dramatically alters the distribution of these configurations in favor of states resembling the peptide-bound structure. In the absence of Ca(2+), the target peptide binds only to the C-terminal domain, and the distribution of compact states is similar with and without peptide. These data suggest an alternative pathway of CaM action in which CaM remains associated with its kinase targets even in the resting state. Only CaM-4Ca(2+), however, shows an innate propensity to form the physiologically active compact structures, suggesting that Ca(2+) activates CaM not only through local structural changes within each domain but also through more global remodeling of interdomain interactions. Thus, these findings illustrate the subtle interplay between conformational selection and induced fit.
