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

Cu(+)-ATPases are membrane proteins that couple the hydrolysis of ATP to the efflux of cytoplasmic Cu(+). In cells, soluble chaperone proteins bind and distribute cytoplasmic Cu(+), delivering the ion to the transmembrane metal-binding sites in the ATPase. The structure of Legionella pneumophila Cu(+)-ATPase (Gourdon, P., Liu, X. Y., Skjørringe, T., Morth, J. P., Møller, L. B., Pedersen, B. P., and Nissen, P. (2011) Nature 475, 59-64) shows that a kinked transmembrane segment forms a "platform" exposed to the cytoplasm. In addition, neighboring invariant Met, Asp, and Glu are located at the "entrance" of the ion path. Mutations of amino acids in these regions of the Archaeoglobus fulgidus Cu(+)-ATPase CopA do not affect ATPase activity in the presence of Cu(+) free in solution. However, Cu(+) bound to the corresponding chaperone (CopZ) could not activate the mutated ATPases, and in parallel experiments, CopZ was unable to transfer Cu(+) to CopA. Furthermore, mutation of a specific electronegative patch on the CopZ surface abolishes the ATPase activation and Cu(+) transference, indicating that the region is required for the CopZ-CopA interaction. Moreover, the data suggest that the interaction is driven by the complementation of the electropositive platform in the ATPase and the electronegative Cu(+) chaperone. This docking likely places the Cu(+) proximal to the conserved carboxyl and thiol groups in the entrance site that induce metal release from the chaperone via ligand exchange. The initial interaction of Cu(+) with the pump is transient because Cu(+) is transferred from the entrance site to transmembrane metal-binding sites involved in transmembrane translocation.
