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

Protein kinase C-α (PKCα) has been studied widely as a paradigm for conventional PKCs, with two C1 domains (C1A and C1B) being important for the regulation and function of the kinase. However, it is challenging to explore these domains in membrane-bound environments with either simulations or experiments alone. In this work, we have combined modeling, simulations, and experiments to understand the molecular basis of the PKCα C1A and C1B domain interactions with membranes. Our atomistic simulations of the PKCα C1 domains reveal the dynamic interactions of the proteins with anionic lipids, as well as the conserved hydrogen bonds and the distinct nonpolar contacts formed with lipid activators. Corroborating evidence is obtained from additional simulations and experiments in terms of lipid binding and protein diffusion. Overall, our study, for the first time, explains with atomistic detail how the PKCα C1A and C1B domains interact differently with various lipids. On the molecular level, the information provided by our study helps to shed light on PKCα regulation and activation mechanism. The combined computational/experimental approach demonstrated in this work is anticipated to enable further studies to explore the roles of C1 domains in many signaling proteins and to better understand their molecular mechanisms in normal cellular function and disease development.
